I think the idea of a mobile app is so that the app can use the API to retrieve data instead of the full html version.

So a browser extension could be used to do the same thing. Reducing bandwidth for you, and reducing load time for users. (In theory, I'm not aware of any which actually do this, or if it's even possible.)
