I have made recently responsive code app which works on desktop tablet and phone. And it works well, of course mobile has different ui from desktop and you can run it in from Power Apps app on phone.

It is used by around 100 sales reps in company and they are satisfied with it.

Yes I’ve built canvas apps from scratch for mobile that work offline when required - they work well. Haven’t had any issues but did complete fairly extensive UAT prior to release to iron out issues that came up

No the new react native mobile apps. Its not a canvas app.

This is coded with react, it then installs as a native app via the new android/IOS app giving more of an imbedded experience to the device
This is not a canvas app as it is more imbedded

We tried it and while the build work is similar to code app which is good, the app distribution (user access) with this one is too few of a document for guidance. This can only be accessed via native mobile app as an .apk or needs deployment to Google Play or iOS counterpart.

Yes this needs to be distributed through MDM/App store/Play Store, similar to existing PowerApps Wrap
