Study Notes

Native Apps

  • Native apps are platform-dependent, meaning they are developed for a specific platform (e.g., iOS, Android)
  • They cannot run on other platforms
  • Examples include camera, microphone, gallery, and address book apps
  • Native apps are generally the fastest, most reliable, and offer a responsive user experience
  • Alternatives exist to native apps, but native apps are generally easier to use
  • Native apps are commonly found in app stores

Web Apps

  • Web apps are web applications similar to native apps in user experience
  • They are not installed in the app store
  • Web apps require an internet connection and a browser to access them on a mobile device
  • Web apps are developed using HTML and CSS
  • They are distinct from websites, as they offer specific functionality within the website
  • Examples include OLX, Flipkart, and Pinterest

Hybrid Apps

  • Hybrid apps combine native and web app features
  • They are developed for a particular platform and installed in the app store
  • Users need to install the hybrid app on their mobile device
  • Developers often use HTML and CSS, similar to web development
  • They can incorporate device features like cameras
  • Modern development tools help package the code with a browser to make it run on different platforms (cross-platform)
  • This saves on development time and cost
  • Examples include Instagram, Gmail, and X
