Most of the entrepreneurs do give a thought regarding having a Mobile App for their organization. However, when they begin thinking on this ground, many questions appear in their minds. How much budget they have to allocate? What would be the time frame to develop and launch the app? Should I go for an App that will work on the Android platform, or is it better to go for the iOS platform or both? The most suitable solution to all of your enigmas is Hybrid Apps. These Apps can be developed fast, needs a relatively lower budget, as against Native Apps.
What is Hybrid App?
Unlike Native Apps, which made solely for running on a specific mobile platform, like Android or iOS, Hybrid Apps are being developed to work on various platforms, which include Android, iOS, and Windows. These apps are built by making use of HTML, CSS, & JavaScript. They are instead a list of Web pages referring to a Website, created to work on smaller screens.
Transforming the existing Web pages into App screens, without needing to build new pages for an App, can itself become a compelling motivation to understand that these Apps are time-saving as well as cost-saving. Let us further glance at why the kind of Mobile App development has earned popularity between Business owners and Hybrid App developers.
A Single Version of Hybrid App can work on multiple Mobile Platforms
The most appreciated feature of these Apps is, it is made only once to work on diverse Mobile platforms, unlike Native Apps, which need different versions to change from one platform to another. Nevertheless, one question which appears in any prospective Mobile App owner’s thought is, a Native App, when made to work on a particular Mobile platform, can look great and work well for that specific platform. While the same Hybrid App, when working on separate Mobile platforms, would it be capable enough of delivering the same level of User experience, as seen in a Natively developed app for a particular platform?
The answer is if a Hybrid App developed by well experienced app development company is built with lots of multimedia or vibrant graphics. It is tough to find out that it is a Hybrid App, which is not exclusively meant for the dedicated platform on which they are currently operating. It can very well work on any platform, with a luxurious look and unique User experience, just as it appears with a Native App for a unique Mobile platform.
Leverages the existing skills
In the case of Hybrid Apps, for transforming the existing Web pages into a Mobile App, a developer doesn’t always have to learn new techniques. With the current understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, an experienced web developer can develop a Mobile App for any business. The developers can bypass the phase of learning complex languages like Objective C for the development of Mobile Apps for iOS platforms.
Even if developers do acquire new abilities for building Native Apps, the method of development can still be time- consuming and costly. In addition to various builds, in the future, any updates to the current Mobile App has to be done individually for various Mobile platforms. This will eventually become an extremely daunting task for Mobile Application developers.
