If your company is looking to launch we web or mobile product, you have to make a decision on what type of app is right for you i.e. Native app vs. Mobile app vs. Hybrid app. There are primarily two types of apps in the tech world, a native app or a mobile web app. We will talk about Web Hybrid app in another topic. How to Choose the Right App architecture? There are several factors in selecting the app architecture. The primary question being “What is the objective of the app?” Do people need to access it from the browser or from the mobile devices? How often will the users access the app and are there notifications that need to be sent to the users. These are some critical question that will determine the app architecture Basic Features A native app is developed for a particular device in mind like IOS or Android. It is installed directly onto the mobile device. The app is typically included in the factory settings of the device or in some cases, the users can download them from app stores. On the other hand, a web app is accessible via an internet connection and is usually non-function without Wi-Fi or data connection. Performance Native apps have enhanced access to mobile device and it’s feature. They are fast and can be highly customized by the user. Mobile web apps, on the other hand have limited customization options when it comes to APIs. Mobile app development companies are working on this constraint and introducing JavaScript search engines which are faster and yield greater performance. User Interface For many mobile users, native and mobile apps have similar user interface. But there are some stark contrasts between them. For instance, mobile app development companies either choose user-centric apps or application-centric apps. Some companies even develop both types of apps to attract a wider demographic. Development Process The most prominent difference between native and mobile web apps is the development process. A native app is developed uniquely with its own specialized development design. The programming languages used for native apps are Objective-C, Java and C++ and are different vary based on the mobile operating system.
