Open in app Businesses are already aware of the need to adapt to mobile. With more than 3.5 billion smartphone users in the world today, the question is no longer whether you should adapt to products for mobile devices, but how to do it right. Both responsive web applications and native applications have their advantages and disadvantages and it is important to understand them in detail before committing to a particular development path. What do people use more? The use of mobile devices is growing very fast, so every business should be on mobile devices one way or another. Great solutions for mobile apps or responsive web. Although the traffic on mobile is heavy, it is not limited to apps. The decision to create a mobile website or app depends on your domain, business processes, goals, and other factors such as budget and expiration. Pros and cons of mobile apps The mobile app is software designed specifically for smartphones and tablets. Apps only work if they are installed and any changes you make require updates. In general, mobile applications are developed for mobile platforms, with iOS and Android being the most popular. However, there are also hybrid and cross-platform applications that work on both platforms and use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to operate. The ability to create just one app for two platforms is one of the biggest advantages of cross-platform mobile app development. Summarize the pros and cons of mobile apps for businesses. Pros a) Flexible and functional — you can run literally anything your business needs. b) Access to mobile-specific features such as push notifications, geolocation, cameras, etc. c) Ability to add attractive elements like gamification https://medium.com/technology-trendz/which-one-do-you-need-mobile-app-or-a-responsive-website-73715195c5c3 2/5

Mobile App or a Responsive Website. | by Kumarkalyann | Technology_Trendz | Mar, 2021 | Medium Cons Open in app a) Getting customers is a challenge b) The high cost of development c) Creating a high-quality app requires a lot of time Responsive and adaptive websites Despite the similarities, responsive and custom websites are not the same. Adaptive websites have a pre-defined look for each platform. Responsive Websites are designed to work on any platform because it is a custom CSS style sheet that makes the website look great on any device. So, whether you are accessing it from your PC, iPhone, Android, or tablet, your website will definitely be formatted. First, it is flexibility. Responsive websites can be used on any device, be it a tablet, smartphone, or desktop. Any operating system and any browser should be able to provide them. Since clicking a link to access your website is the only thing a user has to do, it is very easy to get new customers with a website rather than a mobile app. You can add lead magnets to your website and then receive emails from potential customers to promote your services or products through email marketing. Some pros and cons are Pros a) Needless time to develop b) Cheap to develop c) Works on any platform and on any device Cons a) Is slower than a mobile app b) Less convenient to use on the mobile device c) Limited functionality without access to device hardware Advantages of a Mobile Website vs. Native Apps https://medium.com/technology-trendz/which-one-do-you-need-mobile-app-or-a-responsive-website-73715195c5c3 3/5
