Native App v/s Hybrid App

What is Native App?
The native mobile app development is a process that helps in creating
apps for iOS, Windows, Android, and Blackberry. The apps developed on
native platform will work only on a particular operating system. This
means the developer should create different versions of an app for
different systems. The native apps provide optimized performance and
they take advantage of the latest technology such as GPS.
The developers write code in Swift or Objective-C for iOS applications,
Java for Android Native applications and C# for Windows. The
construction of app, design, graphic styles, typography, visual effects, data
entry, etc. everything varies between the operating systems.
API provided by Android, iOS and Windows.

What is Hybrid App?
In Hybrid app, one app will be created for different platforms. These means
be it iOS, Android, Windows or Blackberry, only one app is enough to serve
all the purposes.
The hybrid apps are a combination of native apps and web apps together. A
single product is enough to work on all the operating systems. These apps
may look and feel like a native application, but the fact is that these apps
are run by a website.
The languages that are usually used in hybrid app development are CSS,
HTML5, and JavaScript. It is simply a web-based app that is put in the native
app shell and connected to the device’s hardware.
There are so many hybrid mobile frameworks such as Ionic, NativeScript,
React Native, Xamarin, PhoneGap etc.
