The Ultimate Guide to Comparing Hybrid Mobile
Apps with Native Mobile Apps
  • There is nothing to be surprised about the fact
    that dominance of the mobile apps has changed the
    way businesses perform their daily operations.
    However, companies struggle a lot when they need
    to decide about mobile apps for their businesses.
    They have to make a decision between Hybrid and
    Native app primarily. If you go back just two
    years, Native App Development was in its advanced
    stage, at the same time, hybrid development had
    just laid its foundation as well. You are
    mistaken if you think the debate between Hybrid
    vs Native is new as it began with the release of
    iPhone.

Of course, this later led to the mobile app
explosion. As with any other technologies, mobile
apps started off fairly simple, but over time,
they grew in number as well as complexity and
this is when businesses started to lure users and
maintained lead among competitors through
providing them better user experience in business
apps.
Now people hold on to their mobile devices every
minute of the day. And if the device is with you
constantly, it needs to be responsive and
reliable. It should respond quickly and give you
the answers you need as soon as possible. These
are the expectations of all mobile users. Hence,
businesses and developers must understand
customer experience over mobile.
No one has time to spend on bad user experience,
including customers and employees. As its proved
over and over again that user experience trumps
everything else when it comes to mobile. Then
its obvious to question the statement i.e. By
2018, approximately 50 of the apps uploaded to
the app store would be hybrid Gartner.
Hybrid apps do not perform equally well as native
apps. Still, there are numerous advantages to
using a hybrid app development, and that might
lead to significant increase of hybrid apps in
the Apple and Play Stores in coming times. No
matter how groundbreaking the intent behind your
mobile app, it will never succeed if people do
not enjoy using it. Thus customer experience on
Android App Development Services should be a
primary consideration.

User ExperienceCan Make Or Break The Success
Of The App
  • Your app will never acquire success if users
    cannot accomplish a goal within your app. Today,
    mobile is everything for people. There are apps
    for everything dating, ride sharing, finance,
    gaming, insurance claims, music, email, etc. You
    just name it and its probably already available
    for download. People interact with businesses
    through their mobile apps. Eight years after the
    release of the first iPhone we simply cannot
    imagine a world without Android or Apple devices
    and their companion mobile applications.

  • Perhaps the most critical choice an organization
    must make before entering the world of Mobile App
    Development is regarding the approach they wish
    to take when building a mobile app. Would you
    like to amaze and tempt your users by building an
    entirely native application that integrates into
    the platform of their choice (Android or iOS Apps
    Development)? Or would you say you are keener on
    adopting a Minimum Viable Product approach and
    rapidly building up a hybrid application which
    can be released across platforms? Though
    potentially easier to build and maintain, this
    second strategy is likely to result in a less
    than ideal user experience with sub-par
    performance.

6
  • Before entering the world of mobile apps
    development you should decide the approach to
    takeHybridor Native?
  • A lot has been discussed about Native vs Hybrid
    topic. Even some believe the war between them is
    already over and that most apps are already
    hybrid. But in this article, we will discuss such
    factors that are impacted by each of the two
    approaches such as speed to market, performance,
    user experience, release cycles, and other points
    that shouldnt be ignored. By looking at the key
    differences between the two development
    approaches, we will try to decide which framework
    will make sense in certain situations.

Native and Hybrid apps A quick overview
  • What is Native App?
  • When you send text messages, set reminders, or
    take pictures using devices default apps or use
    devices music app, you interact with native
    apps. A native app is an application developed
    particularly for a mobile operating system.
    Native apps are developed within a mature
    ecosystem keeping in view all the technical and
    user experience guidelines of the OS. In that
    way, native apps utilize the built-in
    capabilities of the devices, thus offering better
    and consistent look, feel and in-app interaction
    along with faster performance.

8
  • What is Hybrid App?
  • Hybrid apps are rendered as web apps and packaged
    into a native wrapper. They look and feel like
    native applications, but ultimately outside of
    the basic frame of the application they are web
    apps, thus causing performance issues. Such
    issues occur due to device hardware, fragmented
    systems, and different device speeds.
  • In comparison to native apps, hybrid apps were
    relatively slower and Apple Store has rejected
    upload of a number of hybrid applications.
  • Here it is important and interesting to discuss
    that after such numerous rejections why and how
    Hybrid Apps has maintained its presence in the
    market? Lets look into the reasons

9
  • Time To Market?
  • When you decide to build a mobile app, either you
    want to catch up with competitors or identified a
    business opportunity that previously was
    untapped. The outcome cannot be certain, but you
    wish to launch your app ASAP. When it comes to
    picking Mobile Application Development Services,
    you must approach considering certain factors.
    Both, Hybrid as well as native approaches can get
    the job done for your business, but you must be
    particular about your specific requirements and
    aims. There can be many cases where you may find
    going native makes sense whilst there are several
    cases where hybrid proves its worth. Lets
    embrace widely common but significant scenarios
    mostly businesses are stuck with while making a
    decision between native or hybrid

10
  • Needs that lean toward a native solution
  • Budget plans arent extremely tight, or if it is
    youre glad to target, such as camera,
    microphone, compass, accelerometer and swipe
    gestures.
  • You value user experience and performance over
    all else. Taking advantage of native features
    offers a considerably more seamless, intuitive
    experience for the end client.
  • Budget plans arent much tight, or if it is, it
    still doesnt bother you to target a smaller
    audience however with an all the more captivating
    product.
  • You anticipate developing a product with complex
    functionality.
  • You anticipate growing the products breadth of
    functionality in later releases.

11
  • Needs that lean toward a hybrid solution
  • Youre endeavoring to collect as much user
    feedback as possible by focusing on a large
    audience.
  • You have a smaller budget.
  • You dont care too much about releasing a not so
    refined product.
  • You have demanding time to market requirements
    and need to launch as soon as possible.
  • Your application isnt excessively unpredictable
    (now and future states).
  • Your app doesnt depend on offline capabilities
  • Essentially, native apps offer better experience
    for the end user, but hybrid apps are a good
    alternative if youre worried about budget and
    timing regardless of anything else.

12
  • How Important Is The Performance Of An App For
    Your Company?
  • App performance is a key driver of app success.
    Today, it is harder than ever to get users
    attention especially on mobile. An application
    has thousands of competitors on Apple or Play
    Store. A user downloads an app to make their
    lives easier. And the top reason they abandoned
    apps is that they lose interest.
  • For instance within m-commerce app, a user looks
    for the seamless shopping experience and hence
    moves ahead with the length of interaction across
    six stages from launching an app, searching for
    an item, getting the product details, adding to
    the wish list, checking the product review and
    then make payment. Throughout the process, a user
    expects ease of navigation, speed, and
    reliability.
  • If a business failed in delivering such smooth
    digital experience, a user will delete or
    uninstall an app because of performance issues.
    They not only lose interest in interaction with a
    mobile app but also with brick-mortar shops
    around, all because of poor app performance. Thus
    your endgame of app development strategy
    shouldnt be just app downloads, but to make sure
    those downloads result in sustained app usage.

13
  • Its difficult enough to get app downloads, but
    its even harder to keep users around
  • 84 of the users consider performance to be very
    important and this is the biggest pick out for
    the debate between native vs Hybrid App
    Development. Performance is the first-ever
    criteria where native apps win hands down. Even
    having all the positives associated with hybrid
    app development, it was not able to beat native
    apps in terms of speed, reliability, and
    security.
  • Why Native?
  • A native application can easily load the
    contents, structure and other visual elements and
    provide a seamless experience in all. If you are
    looking for some high-speed application like
    m-commerce or iPhone Game Development, then a
    native app is the way to choose. Native apps get
    designed or developed for some specific operating
    systems and they provide great performance.
    Additionally, now it renders trendy look and
    feels all due to improved development ecosystem.
    That way it enables users to connect easily and
    quickly to the icons and button.

14
Why Hybrid?
  • Though the hybrid apps are a bit slower than
    Native Apps, these are best if you aim to develop
    business professional services apps. Business
    professional services apps do not likely require
    a more graphical and platform specific needs like
    games or animated apps. Hence, it wouldnt bother
    user while their interaction with content over
    the apps and ensure seamless digital interaction.
  • User Experience A Critical Differentiator In
    The Native Vs. Hybrid Debate

15
iPhone App Developer
  • A poor user experience turns into quick
    switching. Users are likely to move towards the
    next best in the list in less than a minute.
    Users are not interested in learning features
    that are application specific. Indeed they switch
    to apps having features that are easy and
    familiar from interactivity, usability and
    responsiveness aspects.
  • Whether you go with native or hybrid app, your
    aim should be keeping the user experience
    seamless and address all aspects of the app

16
  • More Reason Why Native?
  • When it comes to developing gaming app, iPhone
    App Developer needs to detail out the color,
    animation, typography as well as interactivity
    for the app. It is quite difficult to do these
    things in a hybrid. There are several different
    style guidelines for native and hybrid apps. That
    makes it tough to give the user experience needed
    for gaming apps with hybrid technologies. For an
    app that is native to the platform, accessing the
    native features and hardware becomes easy. Though
    native apps can quickly access native features
    like contacts, camera, maps, etc it is slightly
    difficult for the hybrid app that in general
    hinder the user experience in turn.
  • More Reasons Why Hybrid?
  • On the other hand, a hybrid application is
    platform agnostic and that makes it appealing
    over native apps. With hybrid apps, developers
    need to build an app once and can release it
    across multiple platforms. One UI nice and
    simple. In addition to this, you do not have to
    maintain two different code bases of iPhone app
    that is written in Swift or Objective-C while
    Android apps are written in Java. That means
    hybrid apps are, one, easier to build two, take
    less time to market, and three, maintain one code
    base.

17
  • 5 Questions To Ask Before You Decide
  • Does your app require access to native features?
    For example Camera, Phone contacts, SMS, Hardware
    device buttons, Map, Push notifications, etc
  • How fast do you need to get this out to market?
  • What budget do you have to play with?
  • How frequent is your update cycle? What levels of
    functionality do you want to add in these
    updates?
  • How important is user experience to you? If
    youre in a competitive marketplace, we would
    definitely recommend prioritizing the user
    experience.

18
  • Do You Really Need To Build An App To Work On
    Both Platforms Right Away?
  • Companies misunderstood the concept of being
    available on mobile. They think that their
    companys app should be available for both
    Android and iOS platforms. Though companies have
    benefits of being present on both platforms, they
    need to understand do they really need to be on
    both platforms Right Away? Both native and hybrid
    are there to fulfill the needs and preferences of
    end users, developers, and businesses.
  • While there are distinct and convincing
    advantages of each, the choice to go native or
    hybrid ought to be a strategic one, contemplating
    your product roadmap, overall business objectives
    and end-user experience.
  • What have been your experiences with native vs
    hybrid applications?
