New app technologies might be dying a bit, but new apps themselves sure are not. Every restaurant you can think of has their own app these days. And "Try our new App and get <some incentive>!" is definitely not a rare thing to see in the junk mail flyers.


Same with supermarkets and big box stores. Some of them have features such as scanning the barcode to get more info about a product.


Exactly. Also Canadian Tire (one of Canada's OG big box stores) has been rolling out an app whereby if you locate what you want in the app, it'll tell you exactly where to find the item(s) once you're inside the store. That's actually genuinely useful.
