Hybrid vs Native App Development

1. Hybrid v/s Native App Development

2. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Hybrid app development A HYBRID APP IS A SOFTWARE APPLICATION THAT COMBINES ELEMENTS OF BOTH NATIVE APPS AND WEB APPLICATION. HYBRID APPS ARE ESSENTIALLY WEB APPS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN A NATIVE APP SHELL. HYBRID APPS ARE POPULAR BECAUSE THEY ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO WRITE CODE FOR A MOBILE APP ONCE AND STILL ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE PLATFORMS.

3. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Native app development Native apps are software applications that are used in a platform. The programming language of native apps are based on the platform. It is designed specifically for operating systems. So whatever the hardware and software that the O/S uses, will be used by native apps too.

4. HYBRID VS NATIVE APP DEVELOPMENT DIFFERENCES

5. Our Vision BASED ON TIME AND COST OF DEVELOPMENT FOR BUSINESSES THAT WISH TO LAUNCH A PAID APP ON THE APP STORE, NATIVE APPS ARE RECOMMENDED, SINCE THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD USER INTERFACE (UI), WHEREAS, FREE APPS CAN BE CREATED AS HYBRID APPS. BASED ON THE PLATFORMS ON WHICH YOUR APP WOULD OPERATE ON IF A BUSINESS WANTS TO RUN ITS MOBILE APP ACROSS VARIOUS PLATFORMS, LIKE ANDROID, APPLE, WINDOWS, ETC., IT CAN OPT FOR CREATING A WEB OR HYBRID APP, SINCE IT CAN SAVE TIME. BY DEVELOPING A WEB OR HYBRID APP, THE BUSINESS HAS TO CREATE THE APP JUST ONCE, SINCE IT INVOLVES A SINGLE CODE BASE, AND THEN PUBLISH ITS APP ACROSS SEVERAL PLATFORMS. ON THE CONTRARY, NATIVE APPS NEED DISTINCTIVE PROGRAMMING FOR EACH PLATFORM, FOR INSTANCE, JAVASCRIPT FOR ANDROID AND OBJECTIVE C FOR ANDROID. Slides 05

6. Our Vision BASED ON THE UTILITIES THAT THE APP OFFERS (FREE OR PAID APP) FOR BUSINESSES THAT WISH TO LAUNCH A PAID APP ON THE APP STORE, NATIVE APPS ARE RECOMMENDED, SINCE THEY HAVE A REALLY GOOD USER INTERFACE (UI), WHEREAS, FREE APPS CAN BE CREATED AS HYBRID APPS. BASED ON USER EXPERIENCE SINCE NATIVE APPS ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR A PARTICULAR APP STORE, THEY GIVE THE BEST USER EXPERIENCE. NATIVE APPS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HARDWARE CAPABILITIES AND SCREEN SIZE. IN COMPARISON WITH HYBRID APPS, WITH JUST ONE CODE BASE FOR ALL PLATFORMS, HENCE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE A GOOD USER EXPERIENCE. Slides 05

7. HYBRID APPS PROS CONS Faster development Flexible to upgrades Suitable for BYOD programs/ Device friendly Low development cost Unimpressive UX Low efficiency Uneven navigation functionality Need internet connectivity to operate

8. NATIVE APPS PROS CONS Can function in offline mode Total device integration Can be downloaded from app stores. Superior UX Smooth functionality Requires more effort Requires more developers High priced development Low code reusability Upgrade inflexibility

9. EXAMPLES OF HYBRID APPS

10. 1 TWITTER THE TWITTER APP IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A SUCCESSFUL HYBRID APP

11. 2 INSTAGRAM THE FOLLOWING HYBRID APP EXAMPLE IN THIS LIST IS ANOTHER VIRAL SOCIAL NETWORK. IT IS QUITE INTERESTING THAT INSTAGRAM IS A MULTI-PLATFORM APP WHILE FACEBOOK IS A NATIVE APP OF ORIGINAL USE.

12. 3 GMAIL CHECKING EMAIL HAS BECOME A DAILY BASIS FOR MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS. THIS IS AN INDISPENSABLE TOOL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE

13. EXAMPLES OF NATIVE APPS

14. 1 SPOTIFY SPOTIFY, A WELL-KNOWN NATIVE APP EXAMPLE, IS ONE OF THE MUST-HAVE PROGRAMS FOR MUSIC FANS TO INSTALL ON THEIR SMARTPHONES

15. 2 WHATSAPP WHATSAPP, WHICH WAS CREATED AS A NATIVE SOFTWARE FOR IPHONES AND ANDROID PHONES, IS A WIDELY USED MESSAGING SERVICE IN MANY REGIONS OF THE WORLD.

16. 3 TESLA ANOTHER FAMOUS EXAMPLE OF A NATIVE APP IS TESLA, THE MOST WELL-KNOWN NAME IN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SECTOR.

17. CONCLUSION As discussed above, native and hybrid apps have their benefits and drawbacks. Deciding on what kind of an app to opt for depends largely on the demands of the organization. After looking into the specifications of the business, it is recommended to discuss the same with application developers, who would be giving shape to your ideas in the best manner possible.
