maybe, but that's the exception. it's much better to get the native app.

if none exists, then you have little choice, but these days, that's
rare.

many people have both an iphone and an ipad, so they can run any
iphone-only apps on their iphone.

use zoom and/or speech. that's what it's for.

it also depends on the app. some are jaggy, and that just looks bad,
vision impaired or not.

except it's all or none, which is bad.

the point is almost nobody wants every app on all devices.

for example, a family where different people who buy apps under a
shared apple id would get everything. kids get the apps their parents
want and the parents get the apps the kids want. not good.
