• Quick Summary The revolutionary world of
  smartphones and tablets has been the mechanism to
  revolutionize the way business is done. With
  people using it on the go, organizations must
  focus on developing top-notch mobile apps. There
  are several tools and technologies available
  today that allow an organization to come up with
  its own mobile app. But then again, there is no
  one-size-fits-all approach as each app can be
  created to cater to different audiences depending
  on the purpose it serves. The best part about
  building a hybrid app is that it offers
  flexibility to develop an app for both Android
  and iOS platforms using a single codebase
  platform thus making businesses save time and
  money.

What is Hybrid Mobile App Development?

• Hybrid app development means a combination of
  native code and the browser-valid HTML5 code.
  Hybrid apps allow data to be synchronized with a
  remote server in real-time, through WebSockets.
  This lets browsers deliver what they like, when
  they like, instead of forcing users to download
  everything. Hybrid applications are almost
  perfect for businesses that want an enterprise
  application but have little capital. A hybrid app
  can thus become an effective mobile interface for
  your business.

• Hybrid app frameworks were designed to help
  developers create applications that can be run in
  multiple ways including native apps, mobile web
  apps, or hybrid apps. A hybrid app framework
  supports different types of applications in a
  single code base. This structure makes it easier
  and faster to develop your application. A hybrid
  app framework has various features including
  top-notch performance, advanced functionalities,
  great user interface, and more. These features
  improve the overall user experience by
  eliminating hassles when moving between devices.

The Biggest Advantages of Hybrid Apps

• Instant access Hybrid apps combine the usability
  of a website with the functionality of a native
  application. This helps businesses to engage with
  customers on multiple platforms and allows
  customers to access your brand from anywhere.

6

• Hybrid apps use HTML5 code to provide a rich
  mobile experience that is responsive to any
  device. By using platform-agnostic code, you can
  deploy your app faster, easier, and cheaper than
  other app development methods.
• Cross-platform The main reason why businesses
  choose hybrid mobile app development over native
  app development is because it allows them to run
  a single codebase across heterogeneous devices
  with minimal modifications. In other words, you
  can have a shared set of code between iOS,
  Android, and Windows apps.

7

• One-size-fits-all Hybrid apps combine the best
  of web technology and mobile technology into one
  package. When compared to native applications,
  this web-based approach helps companies minimize
  time, resources, and costs for building an app.
  Think of it this way developing an iOS app can
  take three months on average while a hybrid app
  would involve building only the custom UI
  elements of the application and not its general
  functionality. This saves time, cost, and effort
  all thats needed is basic web development
  skills.

8

• Offline access Hybrid apps are one kind of app
  that can be a great alternative to mobile
  websites. Some of these apps may allow offline
  access to some parts of the data stored in local
  storage, such as user manuals, or other various
  information that would be useful for a user if
  they were disconnected. The reasons for this are
  obvious people like to use their mobile devices
  even when theyre disconnected from the internet,
  and allowing them access to something like a user
  manual will help boost satisfaction for these
  users.

9

• Easy maintenance Hybrid mobile apps are easier
  to develop than native mobile apps, and also
  easier to maintain in the long term. Hybrid apps
  have an advantage as they are mainly coded in
  HTML5 and JavaScript and have access to all the
  necessary libraries. They can also access native
  platform APIs without manually developing a
  bridge between them.
• Affordable Hybrid apps are a great option for
  businesses with a small budget. In general, its
  much cheaper to develop a hybrid app than an iOS
  or Android app. Hybrid apps also have another
  advantage they are easier to maintain than their
  native counterparts, and that makes them more
  cost-effective.

10

• No need for approval Web apps offer a quick and
  easy way to develop software that can be accessed
  through any computer or mobile device. When
  launching a web app, there is no need to go
  through the lengthy approval process offered by
  Apple and Google with their app stores. Web apps
  dont require approval, making them the ideal
  choice for businesses looking to launch their
  software quickly.

11

• Automatic updates One of the biggest advantages
  of a hybrid app is that your developer can make
  changes or release updates instantly. With native
  apps, you have no control over these things
  submitting changes to the app store could take
  weeks, and users are then forced to download an
  outdated version of your app while they wait for
  final approval. With a hybrid app, developers can
  make changes instantly and deliver them in
  real-time.

12
Drawbacks of Hybrid Apps

• Limited functionality Hybrid apps are better
  than native apps because they can offer some of
  the advantages of both native and mobile web
  browsers. But this doesnt mean that hybrid apps
  are always better than native apps.

13

• Hybrid apps are limited in their capabilities,
  and you have to keep certain things in mind when
  choosing a hybrid app development company.
• Browser needed You can get your app on users
  home screens by using a shortcut or bookmark. If
  you do this, youll also need to communicate how
  to get to the content within the app to the
  people who use it. Using a native app is easier,
  provided youre willing to learn and follow
  Apples and Googles development standards and
  guidelines.

14

• Discoverability As mentioned briefly, making
  your app discoverable and engaging for users can
  be challenging without a presence on an App
  Store. Employ creative marketing strategies to
  entice users to bookmark your app or create a
  shortcut on their mobile device.
• User management When it comes to squeezing the
  most out of your users, nothing is more valuable
  than their data. Analytics and user behavior
  insights can reveal critical information about
  how to best optimize your app and improve the
  experience for future users. The challenge lies
  in driving non-UX-related actions like logging in
  without impacting the overall user experience.

15
Conclusion

• Hybrid mobile apps are becoming ever more popular
  as a feasible and cost-effective option for
  native mobile app development. Seamless
  applications can be created for both Android and
  iOS with a purely web-based hybrid application.
  However, efficient hybrid development can prove
  hard, especially when choosing the wrong tools,
  building for the wrong environment, or not fully
  grasping the mechanics of cross-platform app
  development.
