The native app has tons of extra functionality than the PWA due to access to native APIs. But yes the watch app was done to get into the App Store because the app “has to sufficiently differ from a web browsing experience.” (Which imo is dumb, tons of apps on the App Store don’t differ from a web browsing experience, they just show pictures in a feed…)

Anyways keyword “sufficiently”… Building the watch app was the only thing I could think of that would meet a conservative definition of “sufficient”.

God I hate the App Store.

And I thank you for it. I had to sit through multiple kids Christmas concerts this year, and having this on my watch was a lifesaver.
