I don’t know what apps you are using but besides my payment apps and Google play store, I have no other apps that require login if I just want to check out some reviews or basic information. TripAdvisor doesn’t need a login, booking.com doesn’t need a login to just to read reviews. Hell even Amazon itself doesn’t require a login if I want to read some book reviews.

And I prefer an app because I can control the permissions instead of a website littered with cookies and trackers.
