> Also an app lets you require a user to sign a ToS once after installation without requiring accounts. For a website it's not as seamless.

Huh? I don't think I've ever visited a purely informational website (like this one apparently is) that required me to sign a ToS just to view it. You just click the link, read whatever information you came for, and leave when you're done. That's far more "seamless" than having to install an app before you can do anything.



I think the point is that they want to get users to sign the TOS. Probably for liability reasons due to the legal & sensitive nature of the information.


Exactly. Plus the constantly shifting landscape of immigration itself. Relevant info one day is stale the next.


Exactly why a website makes more sense. You get the latest version by just reloading the page.


You can do the same with an app, though.


I meant without downloading a 40 MB binary upfront.
