Rate difference between booking using the app and a browser

Is it normal now with a huge rate difference between booking with the app and booking with a browser at hilton.com? I have never noticed that, but now it's a huge difference each time I search. Here are just 2 examples:

Elara, Las Vegas February 7-9 Studio Non-refundable, HH rate: Web $167, App $122
San Francisco Union Square. February 11-12 King Non-refundable HH rate: Web $223, App $165

On the initial search results page, the app shows the base price per night, while the website shows the base price plus taxes plus resort fees per night. When you click through to book, the final prices are the same.

Thanks, I see that now. But it didn't use to be like that? The website used to display the rate like the app, and you had to add tax and resort fee. Also, it's confusing that the website and app display it in different ways.
But it's fine as long as I know!

I know some countries require that advertised prices include taxes, I assumed that the HH platforms try to anticipate that but don't always get it right.
