Native App vs. Hybrid App vs. Web App

What exactly are Native, Hybrid, and Web Apps?

As mentioned earlier, it will be feasible to create a mobile app in 3 primary ways – native app development, web app development, and hybrid app development. They all have their advantages and drawbacks, which we have discussed in the following paragraphs.

What do you mean by a Native App?

We call an app native when we make use of platform-specific programming languages for creating them. Right now, the two most popular operating systems happen to be Android and iOS. The languages used for building native apps are Objective-C or Swift for iOS and Java for Android. Programmers also employ SDKs (software development kits) for creating these types of apps.

What do you mean by a Web App?

We refer to a responsive website that can be launched in a browser on any mobile device, tablet, or desktop computer by the term web app. There is no need to download a web app since it can be accessed through a URL. However, one cannot deny that a web app will provide you with a native-like experience despite having the ability to run on all types of devices and browsers.

What do you mean by a Hybrid App?

A hybrid app is going to combine the attributes of native as well as web apps. Therefore, it is possible to run the hybrid application on virtually any platform with some slight enhancements. Apps produced by hybrid app development services are backed by a hybrid development framework based on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
