If a website disrespects "request desktop site" and still tries to force you into an app... ugh.

Had this happen yesterday when someone sent me a link to something on AllTrails. If the service was good and the website was usable, I might have even considered getting the app for offline features. Not anymore - screw companies that do this.

Why though?

If only 1% of your user base is accessing your maps through the website, you aren’t going to keep supporting it.

		I described my own attitude, obviously companies are going to do what they want. In this case, AllTrails has a perfectly functional website which they allow users to access from computer web browsers, but they force mobile phones (even when in "request desktop site" mode) to redirect to the app. If a site breaks in that mode it's on the user - I'm specifically requesting to get access to something they already provide and being denied. This is especially egregious given how many "apps" are just websites in a wrapper anyway. I think that sucks, and I'm entitled to my opinion. Now get off my lawn.
