Thoughts on App only launches

Interested in hearing what peoples thoughts are on “app only” launches versus app+website.
eg Cohort - https://twitter.com/deancollins/status/959086867219124224


Sorry but while I’d happily sign up to a new tool that just wanted my email address via a website….i’m not interested in signing up for ‘most’ tools that are going to require access to my cell phone (and all the data contained on it).
eg they are probably doing this so that they can easily pull in my contacts/geo location/mobile phone number etc to cross link and build network effect…….but if I don’t know you and I don’t trust you….why would I open myself to an attack vector.


Thoughts?
