Mobile App vs. Mobile Website

for

From: McDonald, Jennifer

A question for people who depend on Assistive Technology and use a
mobile device, such as an iPhone or Android:

To pay a bill - if you had your choice to use a company's mobile app to
pay that bill, or their Mobile Website (both developed with
accessibility in mind) which would you prefer? Which is easier to use?
Does it matter? Does it depend on your device type?

I'm trying to get a feel for if it is necessary to have both a Mobile
Website and a Mobile App that do the same thing. Which is more
accessible?

Thanks,
Jeni
