I think there might be some other benefits to having a dedicated app, such as speed. But they are probably trivial. I personally prefer using dedicated apps over web browsers on mobile devices.
Edit: Push notifications would be another benefit I think, though this could be done with an RSS/Atom feed reader.
@MedicineStorm: By "official app", I simply meant it was endorsed by DeviantArt. I definitely think an app for OGA should be open sourced.
@chasergaming: With the app you should be able to do anything you can do on the site. Upload works, add comments & forum posts, etc. But layout would be much more compact. Perhaps similar to what a mobile version of the sight might be like.
Another though related to this subject: I would be interested in creating, or seeing created, an OGA app for Android. But, without the API available, only a simple app based on WebView could be created (as I understand it). Which probably wouldn't be much different than using a web browser.
There is an official app for DeviantArt, which is pretty nice (though, had some bugs last time I used it). Would be nice to have an app for OGA as well, especially since there is no mobile version of the site.
