As mobile app development is evolving, many leading businesses – including Starbucks, Spotify and Pinterest, have been switching to progressive web apps to deliver better user experience for their customers. And this is not a coincidence – with PWA technology, companies are able to achieve up to 36% higher conversion rates, 50% higher customer engagement, and they invest much less on their PWA compared to a native mobile app.

Forbes launched a progressive web app with the purpose of rebranding their mobile experience and serving better their audience segments. By doing so, they achieved a 43% increase in sessions per user, 100% more engagement, and got their ad viewability up by 20%.
Considering that one of PWA’s most important benefits is their ability to work offline, this way Starbucks ensured that their app will also be accessible in emerging markets where Internet connection is not always stable. The offline-first approach of progressive web apps means that detailed information and the apps’ features are stored via built-in service workers cache – making them accessible even if users don’t have an Internet connection.
Lancome was able to achieve a +36% increase in mobile revenue. Additionally, their app takes just 1.77 seconds to become interactive, meaning that their overall speed has increased by 50% compared to their previous mobile website.
Twitter has managed to optimise images to reduce their impact on data usage by up to 40% as users scroll down their timeline. All these numbers show that Twitter’s progressive web app has significantly improved user experience while ensuring better adaptation to the phone.
In terms of loading speed, Pinterest registered a huge improvement, reducing time to interact from 23 seconds to just 5.6 seconds
The company decided to go for a PWA to reduce user frustration from having to download a heavy app and spending excessive money on mobile data in the process – which is typically the case for native mobile apps.
As the company was expanding to international markets, they were struggling to make it easy for people to use their app regardless of their device, location, browser, or Internet connection. As we mentioned previously, one of PWAs key features is their ability to work offline, making them reliable even if the connection is not stable in a particular location.
For this reason, Uber decided to go with progressive web apps, leveraging their flexible and rich functionalities that make them work efficiently both on desktop and mobile. Uber’s PWA is compatible with all modern browsers, and it offers an app-like experience for riders on low-end devices.
