Native VS Hybrid App: Choose the Best

Mobile App Development is the set of processes and procedures used to write software for small, wireless computing devices such as smartphones or tablets, One way to ensure that applications show optimum performance on any given device was to develop the app. Now let’s take a look at our following Mobile Application Services.

What is Native Application:  

Native App is a software or program that is developed to perform specific tasks on a particular platform. It can provide optimized performance and take advantage of the latest technology, such as a GPS, compared to web apps or mobile cloud apps on specific tools and platforms. These apps are written in the code prior to use for the device and its operating system and provide fast performance & a high degree of reliability. 

• Native ios: Native apps are written in the code prior to use for the device and its Operating System. e.g. developers write iOS applications in ( Swift or Objective-C )
• Native Android: Native Android Apps Written in Java or Kotin. In Android, there are several choices but ultimately Android Studio is the best.

What is Hybrid Application 

Considered as a combination of native app and web app, a hybrid app is built-in as a single app that works across various operating systems like Windows, Android, and iOS. It is developed with CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript. A hybrid app can be built for any platform from a single code base.

React Native App: React Native is an interesting framework that allows web developers to create robust mobile applications using their existing JavaScript knowledge. It offers quick Mobile App Development Services in USA, and more efficient code sharing across iOS, Android.

React Native Similar frameworks are Ionic and Xamarin.

Why Native App:

1. Flawless Performance: In the process of native application development, the coding is done for various platforms utilizing various programming languages specific to every operating system.
   
2. Supreme Speed: Native apps have Supreme speed and performance as they are optimized for iOS and Android OS. The development process considers every single thing; Including the use of the battery and the memory of the smartphones.
3. Magnificent User Experience: The study says, 79% of consumers try any app either once or twice if it failed in the first attempt; while only 16% of the users would give it more than two attempts. Thus mobile apps should create a good impression on the users; to ensure that it does not get deleted after installation
   
4. User Data Protection: Excellent efficiency of hardware resources is present in native apps, providing protection and security of user data with complete reliability.
5. Flexibility: Native apps are enough flexible to deliver fast access to various inbuilt device utilities, such as calendar, camera, microphone, GPS, etc. of the smartphones.
   

Drawbacks of Native Apps:

• Slow Development Process: Native apps are built to be suitable for various platforms, separate development effort is needed for creating and implementing the design for every device dimension in a particular platform.
• Costly: Native Apps each platform code has its individual release cycle and updates. besides, to develop and maintain the same app on other platforms, you will need specialized proficiency for a particular platform. This growing the development cost.

Why Hybrid App:

• Cost-effective Development: Hybrid Development can be done at once for all kinds of platforms. There is no need to hire a different programmer for each platform. Thus the development effective cost reduces.
• Low Maintenance Needed: Considered as a web app incorporated in a native shell. You can update the hybrid app as many times according to your need or preference. It runs without much maintenance.
• Work across multiple platforms: Hybrid apps can run both Android & iOS having just one codebase. The cross-platform capabilities may become the deciding factor for many stakeholders making a choice between native or hybrid apps.

Drawbacks of Hybrid Apps

• • Untimely User Experience: Hybrid apps cannot deliver an equally seamless user experience across all the platforms.
  • An issue in Debugging: Its source code and targeted on a mobile platform, specifically the hybrid mobile frameworks. This layer can make debugging processes problematic. To avert such issues.
  • Deteriorate Performance: In React Native, when it comes to 3D or HD games, high-graphics-based apps there’s a possibility that the hybrid approach may not go well.

Conclusion 

The fight between native and hybrid apps is continuous. Both have their own pros and cons and so to get a final outcome is a difficult task.
Before you head for anything it is always advisable to take a bit of time and think about what you prefer more. Cross-platform, feasible, one-source code, easy updates, time and money saver; all these make Hybrid the best but, in the long run, they may put you into trouble.
While Native ones are though time-consuming and costly. They offer the best security, user experience, and smooth access to all native APIs. Your higher investment of money and time won’t go to waste in the native apps.
