The dependence on smartphones is emerging day by day. As a result, software developers do not miss any chance to develop mobile apps for varied applications and offer those to users. The industry of mobile apps is mainly based on rapid development in the IoT market as it enables taking hold of more information that is utilized to optimize and improve the application features used by end-users.
The most important factor that ensures the industry growth of mobile app development is high market penetration of smartphones, developing IoT market and wide usage of mobile apps. A Report says, in the third quarter of 2018, the total number of mobile applications in the App Store and Google Play reached 4.1 billion. The bar of competition is growing, but the market continues to grow. This growth has maintained its status in 2019 as well. Early in 2019, the share of Android apps was 75.16% and iOS 21.98%.
Taking a glance at the rapid pace of the mobile app development market, there is one of the things certain that every developer needs to offer flawless user experience in their apps in order to get ultimate success. Other than user experience, the user interface is another factor that needs to be focused on while developing a mobile app.
Are you planning to develop an app that can offer awesome user experience and also has a great user interface? Then you can explore the two important app types – Native app and Hybrid app. But which one will be the best for you? Well, this post will help you take this decision. When planning to develop an app, either a native or hybrid, there are quite a few factors you need to think about, depending on your business objectives and goals. Today’s post will guide you through all the information you need to know about Hybrid app and Native app development. At the end of the post, you will have a clear idea on which one will be best for you.
Native App Development Vs Hybrid App Development
Now that you have got detailed information about both types of apps development, it’s natural for you to feel confused about which one will be the best for you. Before coming to the final decision of picking the right type of app, let’s compare these two apps.
Firstly, the most important difference that you can find between hybrid app development and native app development is a hybrid app requires less amount of time and money to be developed as compared to a native app. Developing a hybrid app means maintaining a single code. On the other hand, for a native app, you will need an individual app developer for each platform. Thus maintenance cost is higher for native apps as compared to the hybrid app.
Secondly, native apps offer smooth user experience because they are particularly developed and designed for a single app store with which your users can get the best compatible apps. According to every platform, the screen size and hardware capacity are taken care of. On the other hand, hybrid apps have just one application code across all platforms. Thus these apps cannot provide the best user experience.
Last but not least, as the native apps are focused on specific device platforms, they have better user interface than hybrid apps.
