2. Native vs. Hybrid App – What to choose for
your next app
.
Whether your app is a -
- Gaming one, or
- On demand, or
- Educational, the only way it can survive in the industry
is by giving superior user experience.
Let us first look at both the processes in some detail.
3. Native Apps
● Native apps are those applications that are designed for
a specific Operating System.
● Since they are developed keeping one OS in mind, they
feel more right to the users as compared to any other
type.
● They are in-sync with the device’s elements, making it
easier for users to adapt to the app.
● Lastly, the chance of Native Apps accessing the in-built
capabilities like Camera, GPS etc. are much greater.
5. Hybrid Apps
● These are the mobile application types that are
developed to work on a number of platforms.
● They are written with the help of single standard codes,
which are compiled for execution on different
platforms.
● To enable device specific interactions, plugins are used
with the operating system.
6. Platforms for Hybrid App Development
# Cordova/PhoneGap
# Framework 7
# Ionic Framework
7. So, which is better? Native or Hybrid app
Depends entirely on what approach you are planning to
follow -
● If your plan is keep your users hooked to the design
and your app performance - Native App
● If you are planning to launch your app in least possible
time and wants to worry less about app maintenance -
Hybrid App
8. If app launch time is not your biggest
priority, you should stay away from Hybrid
apps and focus all your efforts on Native
apps like how,
LinkedIn and Facebook did.
Let’s look at the challenges they faced that
pushed them to make the switch –

10. This is what happened once they made the
switch -
● A faster app.
● Zero app crashes.
● Unsurpassed User Experience.
● Sleek UI elements including animations.
● The possibility to integrate app with external devices.

Facebook or LinkedIn,
NATIVE would be the way to
go.
