Native app development vs hybrid app development

The strong growth of the smartphone market in recent years has led to the share of mobile phone website traffic to 52.2% in the year 2018.
The availability of cost-effective smartphones has led to an increase in our dependency on smartphones thus making it difficult for the developers to choose between Native Mobile App Development and Hybrid App Development.


Importance of UI/UX in mobile app development

Before we look into the Native & Hybrid App development platforms, there is one most important aspect of mobile app development services that need to be considered i.e., your customer.
Your customer is least concerned about the technology or the platform that power the app they are using.
Most users are concerned about what they can do with the app rather than what goes into making them. So User Experience and User Interface is the most important aspect of any mobile app.
79% of consumers try any app either once or twice if it failed to work in the first attempt while only 16% of the users would give it more than two attempts.
Poor user experience discourages users from using an app.


Native & hybrid apps – A quick overview

Native app development

A native mobile app is an application created for use in a single particular platform or device, like Android, iOS, BlackBerry or Windows.
A native app is specially made and coded for a specific mobile platform in its native programming language –

iOS (Objective-C or Swift)
Android (Java, Kotlin)
Windows Phone (C#)

There are different guidelines for each of these platforms and developers need to stick to them as they differ in typography, graphic styles, gestures, visual effects, data entry, etc.

Hybrid app development

A hybrid app is created as a single app for use on multiple platforms like Android, iPhone, and Windows.

Hybrid applications are actually native apps and web apps combined together.
It is a single product that works on many operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows, etc.
They look and feel like a native application but are actually run by the company website. Created with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, It is basically a web-based program put in a native app shell and connected to the device hardware.
