Hybrid vs Native App Development

1
Hybrid v/s Native App Development
2
INTRODUCTION
Hybrid app development A HYBRID APP IS A SOFTWARE
APPLICATION THAT COMBINES ELEMENTS OF BOTH
NATIVE APPS AND WEB APPLICATION. HYBRID APPS ARE
ESSENTIALLY WEB APPS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN A
NATIVE APP SHELL. HYBRID APPS ARE POPULAR BECAUSE
THEY ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO WRITE CODE FOR A
MOBILE APP ONCE AND STILL ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE
PLATFORMS.

INTRODUCTION
Native app development Native apps are
software applications that are used in
a platform. The programming language of native
apps are based on the platform. It is designed
specifically for operating systems. So whatever
the hardware and software that the O/ S uses,
will be used by native apps too.

HYBRID VS NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT
DIFFERENCES
5
BASED ON TIME AND COST OF DEVELOPMENT
FOR BUSINESSES THAT WISH TO LAUNCH A PAID APP ON
THE APP STORE, NATIVE APPS ARE RECOMMENDED,
SINCE THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD USER INTERFACE
(UI), WHEREAS, FREE APPS CAN BE CREATED AS
HYBRID APPS. BASED ON THE PLATFORMS ON WHICH
YOUR APP WOULD OPERATE ON IF A BUSINESS WANTS TO
RUN ITS MOBILE APP ACROSS VARIOUS PLATFORMS,
LIKE ANDROID, APPLE, WINDOWS, ETC., IT CAN OPT
FOR CREATING A WEB OR HYBRID APP, SINCE IT CAN
SAVE TIME. BY DEVELOPING A WEB OR HYBRID APP,
THE BUSINESS HAS TO CREATE THE APP JUST ONCE,
SINCE IT INVOLVES A SINGLE CODE BASE, AND THEN
PUBLISH ITS APP ACROSS SEVERAL PLATFORMS. ON THE
CONTRARY, NATIVE APPS NEED DISTINCTIVE
PROGRAMMING FOR EACH PLATFORM, FOR INSTANCE,
JAVASCRIPT FOR ANDROID AND OBJECTIVE C FOR
ANDROID.

BASED ON THE UTILITIES THAT THE APP OFFERS (FREE
OR PAID APP)
FOR BUSINESSES THAT WISH TO LAUNCH A PAID APP ON
THE APP STORE, NATIVE APPS ARE RECOMMENDED,
SINCE THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD USER INTERFACE
(UI), WHEREAS, FREE APPS CAN BE CREATED AS
HYBRID APPS. BASED ON USER EXPERIENCE SINCE
NATIVE APPS ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR A
PARTICULAR APP STORE, THEY GIVE THE BEST USER
EXPERIENCE. NATIVE APPS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
HARDWARE CAPABILITIES AND SCREEN SIZE. IN
COMPARISON WITH HYBRID APPS, WITH JUST ONE CODE
BASE FOR ALL PLATFORMS, HENCE, IT IS NOT
POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE A GOOD USER EXPERIENCE.

HYBRID APPS
PROS Faster development Flexible
to upgrades Suitable for BYOD programs/
Device friendly Low development cost
CONS Unimpressive UX Low efficiency
Uneven navigation functionality Need
internet connectivity to operate
8
NATIVE APPS
PROS Can function in offline mode Total device
integration Can be downloaded from
app stores. Superior UX Smooth functionality
CONS Requires more effort Requires more
developers High priced development Low
code reusability Upgrade inflexibility

SUCCESSFUL HYBRID APP

INSTAGRAM THE FOLLOWING HYBRID APP EXAMPLE IN
THIS LIST IS ANOTHER VIRAL SOCIAL NETWORK. IT IS
QUITE INTERESTING THAT INSTAGRAM IS
A MULTI-PLATFORM APP WHILE FACEBOOK IS A NATIVE
APP OF ORIGINAL USE.

ANOTHER FAMOUS EXAMPLE OF A NATIVE APP IS TESLA,
THE MOST WELL-KNOWN NAME IN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE
SECTOR.

CONCLUSION
As discussed above, native and hybrid apps have
their benefits and drawbacks. Deciding on what
kind of an app to opt for depends largely on the
demands of the organization. After looking into
the specifications of the business, it is
recommended to discuss the same with application
developers, who would be giving shape to your
ideas in the best manner possible.
