Before we dive into the discussion of Native app
vs Hybrid app, lets take a look at the current
mobile market scenario. According to a latest
survey, about 88 of smartphone users prefer
Android OS and 11 prefer iOS. However, if you go
by your market segment, it can happen that your
customers are more on iOS. Some may find Android
as their targeted OS. Therefore, until and unless
you are certain about it, its better to go for
both. Hence, what to build? A Native app or a
Hybrid one? To find out whos winning the Native

Merits of Native App
1) Native apps mostly have fast graphics with
fluid animations built in. Its also very
convenient to use with a native look and
feel. 2) Native app can access OS specific APIs
such as camera, push notifications, and in-app
purchases, which would otherwise be
prohibited. 3) If youre developing a native app
for iPhone, you will get many resources,
development tools, and reading material to help
you out. 4) It is a bit less painful to develop
a native app as it focuses only on one platform
at a time as it gets support from respective
platform.

Hybrid App Hybrid app combines elements of both
native app and Web apps. It takes most of the
good features from native and adds cross browser
flexibility from web apps. As a result, you get
an app that functions more like a native app with
no platform boundaries.

cost.

Demerits of Hybrid App
1) If the App Store recognizes that your app is
not truly native, there is a chance it may deny
listing from the App Store. 2) When a new Apple
iOS version is released, hybrid app developers
would have to depend on a third party before they
design hybrid apps on the new OS. 3) Since
hybrid app development is still new in the
development space, there is not much support
available for troubleshooting uncommon issues.
