Since I don't think I can actually post in announcements anymore...

EDIT: Seems that the "new app" is indeed still just a glorified Chrome web browser window and not a "proper" app (not a native app). So unless someone discovers something unique I have missed you might as well continue using the browser as there should be little to no difference.

Original post
Was initially positive to the new SW app, downloaded it and gave it a whirl. First thing it does is to give a Chrome notification about sign-ins and whatnot.

Heck, if I start writing a message in the browser version it remembers that in the app...

...so is this just a simple Chrome wrapper then and not actually a proper native app? So really no different from running it in the browser? Or am I missing something here?

It's not, no lol. It's a Powered Web App. So basically just a Chrome wrapper.

@basilfawlty89 Suspected as much. I was actually hopeful, but this is disappointing. Was hoping for an actual native app, but since it seems to just be a Chrome wrapper I see no reason using one over the other. If there really is no difference, then the app is effectively nothing more than a glorified advert unfortunately.

I don't know. I use Apple.
