Browser Tap & Win are convenient for their versatility and fast start, and mobile applications - for maximum optimization and advanced functionality. The choice depends on what is more important to the player: availability from any device without installation or deep integration with the device and increased performance.
1) Access speed
Browser:

- Access from any HTML5-enabled device with an internet connection.
- Does not require updates from the user - the current version is loaded at startup.
Appendix:

- Updates via the App Store or Google Play.
2) Performance
