What is the difference between hybrid, native and web apps?
Many people wonder what exactly the difference is between hybrid, web and native apps. Here is a brief overview of the differences:
Native apps are apps developed specifically for the device’s operating system. A native iOS app works seamlessly with the iOS operating system, and a native Android app works seamlessly with an Android device. This provides the most user-friendly experience. Examples of native apps include In-Lite and KLM.
Hybrid apps are developed as a single application for both platforms. This means you don’t have to write the code twice for iOS and Android. This saves time and money, but can compromise performance. Examples of hybrid apps include Deloitte and ROC Midden Nederland.
Web apps are apps that you open in your browser. No download is required. This allows you to combine the power of a standard app with the capabilities of a desktop. Examples of web apps include De Lerende Ambtenaar and ExamenOverzicht.
