Why choose to develop a hybrid app?

Hybrid apps are great for development time and are cost effective, they also have the ability to emulate the sought after native experience your users crave.

What is a hybrid app?

Hybrid apps combine the capabilities of native apps and web applications. They have the functionality of a web app with the user interface of a native app. Hybrid apps are only written once unlike Native apps which need to be written for the operating system they are being deployed to. Hybrid apps can be published to both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

The fundamentals of hybrid apps are written using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Plugins then propel hybrid apps from a web application to mobile application. Gmail and Instagram are both hybrid apps, which highlights their scalability.

What are the benefits of choosing a hybrid app?

Faster development time

One of the main reasons to go hybrid is due to the faster development time and easier overall development process.

Cost effective

Fast development times and the use of one code base means it’s generally cheaper to develop hybrid apps.

Less maintenance

Hybrid apps are easier to maintain as only one codebase needs to be dealt with.

Cross platform support

Unlike native, hybrid apps can be published to both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Code reuse

With a single codebase new functionality can be rolled out across multiple platforms.

Native experience

Hybrid apps offer the native experience with less hassle during the development process.
