I don’t like IMDb, but I’m not ready to move yet. I’ve exported everything to TMDB (The Movie Database) but I still use both. IMDb has the trivia. TVDB doesn’t have an app. I use Safari web shortcuts for both (and Wikipedia).
Yes and no. IMDb is ten billion percent better in Safari if you have a competent content blocker. On the Android side, I wouldn’t make the shortcut, because I assume it would go through Chrome. I’d just use Firefox and uBlock Origin. But yes, IMDb without the app is better. However, it doesn’t save searches (which also might be a plus, but if I keep coming back to what I’m watching, having the history does save time).
If a site is perfectly servicable without an app, I’d recommend people just do that all day long. Apps are not the best thing, but they’re convenient to a point. I think people should be aware of what apps can do without their permission vs web content. This varies between iOS and Android too, so you gotta know what you’re running and what it can do/what can be done to it by others.
App for a web site is ALWAYS worse. I hate that shit. The only time the app is better is if they purposefully make the mobile site worse so you switch to the app. Facebook was excellent at doing this.

That sounds like a plus to me
