Are You Confused Between Native And Hybrid Mobile App?
In today's landscape, individuals are always confused weather to go for native or hybrid app. There are few parameters such as performance, inbuilt features, UI/UX, debugging tools, budget which decide the platform for your application.
How important isapplication
performance for you?
Native coding or native libraries
eat less CPU cycles results into
high Optimization and hence
provides us faster speed. But
portable apps such as hybrid apps
possess less optimization thus
works slow.

Do You wantto use inbuilt native features?
Native applications have built
in features such as GPS,
contacts, gestures, camera,

Want to makedebugging easier?
Native
Native development
provides tooling to test
and debug the work, so
it is much easier and
less time consuming to
find and fix bugs.
Hybrid
Hybrid development
does not provide
reliable tooling to
test and debug the
work, so, sometimes
the developer may
take a few hours to
fix a problem where
the same problem
can be fixed within
minutes.

What is your
?
Nativeapplications are developed for two different platforms i.e. android and ios
hence it is expensive whereas hybrid applications are portable therefore rate is
moderate.
Facebook went froman HTML5
Hybrid Web App to Native, and
users rejoiced!
Zuckerberg says, “people are consuming
twice as many feed stories since the update
to the new iOS app, which is great”.

Why Linkedin dumpedhtml5 hybrid approach and
adopted native approach?
➢ Insufficient debugging tools and runtime diagnostics information.
➢ Crash rate was high due to memory exhaustion.
➢ Animations and spinners didn't work smoothly.
