Why do we have such variation in sizes of apps? I get some of is to do with code efficiency, but the variation still seems big and even similar apps from the same developer (Apple) have wildly different sizes.
For instance:
- Monzo ~(550mb) versus Chase (~240mb) both do literally the same thing
- Apple Podcasts with no dowloaded episodes (~700mb) vs Apple TV (~27mb)
- The Storygraph (<10mb) vs Rippple (~150mb). Rippple really is a great app though, no shade, just confused as it’s calling an external database just like The Storygraph
The wildest one for me is always Apple’s Podcast app…
