What Technology is better for Mobile Application
Development?

• The question related to better technology for
  mobile application development among Native,
  Hybrid and Mobile Web, is getting popular.
  Though, the best answer to this question is that
  it is totally dependent on the type of
  application required to develop as all these
  technologies have different pros and cons.

Native Mobile App Technology

• The projects related to mobile app development
  are based on specific languages like iOS app
  development uses Objective-C and android app
  development requires Java and so on. In the
  process of development of these apps, the
  developers download an executable file directly
  from app stores and store it on the device
  locally. The best thing in the native technology
  is that it doesnt often require an internet
  facility for development unless there is a need
  for it. These native apps dont require internet
  connectivity. The apps developed on native
  technology are provided with the access to all
  functions related to hardware, and they are
  usually more secure and smooth in performance.
  Native technology-based apps can work with heavy
  graphics and support advanced user-interface.
  With all the good features, these apps have some
  disadvantages as well they are only designed to
  run on specific devices as they have
  platform-dependency. Consequently, a single app
  requires multiple versions for multiple platforms.

Hybrid Mobile App Technology

• It simply means a blend. The hybrid app
  development is a combination of both the
  technologies native and web-based. Therefore,
  these apps have the qualities of both the
  technologies. These apps can run on any operating
  system such as Windows, Android, and iOS. All it
  requires a tiny app executable to a specific
  platform. For these apps, the developers have the
  availability to develop multiple versions of the
  same app and implement on app stores. When the
  app is downloaded, it connects to the core app
  which is basically a web-app created for mobile
  devices. The key advantage of these apps is that
  they come with time and costs saving benefit.
  However, the performance of these apps is not too
  good as they work slow and dont support heavy
  graphics like native apps. The internet facility
  for these apps is sometimes required and
  sometimes not.

Mobile Web Technology

• Mobile web technology-based apps are basically
  websites that are customized for mobile
  platforms. Since these apps use web technologies
  to function, they are faster and cheaper as
  compared to other apps. Development of the mobile
  webs is simple though, it requires great care
  and adjustment of the resolution of the web-page
  as various screen sizes are available for mobile
  devices these days. A liquid-based web design
  performs well. These web-based apps are fast,
  easily maintainable, and provide ease to the
  developers that they can make any changes later.

• These mobile webs can run on various platforms.
  The key advantage of these apps is that they have
  the same level of functionality as compared to
  PC-based websites. These mobile web-based apps
  dont work without the internet connectivity.
