      What do you classify as “proprietary apps”, and from the user’s standpoint where do you see a difference between them and web apps?

        Pretty much anything that’s only available via an app store. The difference with web apps is that I can also use them on a laptop/PC and I have a bit more control about tracking (by using ad/tracking blockers).
