NatWest have apparently been 'voted' the best banking app for the second year running. Anyone know anything about this poll ?

Googling your entire first sentence retrieves this as the first result: https://www.rbs.com/rbs/news/2018/03/natwest-wins-_best-banking-app-for-second-year-in-a-row.html

I saw this on the Best Bank Accounts page with an end date of 16th March, I did not see anything about having to open the account before 16th February.

I applied using the link from that page on 27th February and the switch completed on 7th March and I have met all the other criteria, will I still get the £125?

Possibly not...

Here's what MSE said:

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/banking/2018/01/natwest-launches-125-switching-offer---plus-you-can-get-2-cashback-on-bills-

"How do I get the bonus?
To get the £125 incentive, new customers must:
Apply for an eligible account by 16 February.
Complete a full switch using NatWest's official switching service by 16 March.
Pay in at least £1,500 by 16 March.
Log in to online or mobile banking at least once by 16 March."

So applying after Feb 16th would appear to mean you're not eligible.
The words in NW terms are slightly different but likely amount to the same effect for you.

That is so annoying as the offer was still listed on this page https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts after 19th Feb, it showed an end date of 16th March and disappeared after that date.
The HSBC switch offer has an account opening deadline of today and a switch deadline of 30 days later yet is showing on this same page as ending today.
I will have to apply for a HSBC account today and if Natwest ever offer another bonus again in the future I should qualify if I never receive this one.

Because it was still available to people who opened (or already had) the account prior to the 16th of Feb.

Well you can open the ac today and set up the switch for 30 days in the future and still qualify. Tomorrow you can open the ac but you won't qualify for the bonus... so seems correct to me.

You may need to concentrate on your comprehension as the MSE or, indeed, the banks own switching terms aren't always that well worded.
