Native App Vs HTML5 Mobile AppVs Hybrid

App Development


The world of smartphone app development is exploding. For the

most part, discussions regarding app development align with one

of two specific customer expectations:


Native Applications

Native apps are developed for a distinct platform

(iOS, Android, etc.), using resources supported by that platform.

They can be downloaded from app stores and installed directly on

the system for which they are intended. Native apps are inherently

better for their specific environments because they were developed

to operate within them. Integrated development environments of

native apps provide better tools for project management, debugging,

and in other areas of the development process.

Better User Experience native apps can be discovered, purchased,

and downloaded at an app store and can be instantly used. Also,

native apps are faster, more consistent, and effortless to manage,

both by the user and the mobile application developers.

Utilization of Standard Mobile Components – camera, address book,

geolocation, and other features specific to a device can integrate

with mobile apps. Moreover, many native apps complement one

another, one utilizing specific components to enhance the other. For

example, Evernote integrates with other calendar apps in order to

centralize tasks, notes, etc.

Learning and Support – Over 3,000 books have been written for

the different development platforms, and countless tech forums,

sites, and other blogs are available to mobile application developers

who wish to go native and stay that way.


HTML5 Mobile App

Not so with HTML5 mobile app, which use HTML5, JavaScript,

and CSS. This combination allows for greater adaptability for the

app, meaning it can work on various different types of platforms

and devices given the origin of a web browser.

Basically, the HTML5 mobile app is a web page designed to work

on a small screen. It can be opened in distinct platforms because

the source is to the webpage itself, not the platform. Website

developer can easily create apps using HTML5, but will encounter

a problem when they try to create “one-size-fits-all” for the

prospective screen size. Because every mobile device interprets

screen size differently, web app developers must be precise in

design and deployment. Also, native app features

(some mentioned above) are not available for HTML5 mobile app.

User interface and overall experience suffer as a result.

One benefit of HTML5 mobile app development is its “write-once-

run-anywhere” methodology. It also requires lower development

and deployment times when compared to native applications

development. Those with the expertise and background in HTML5

can create a useful app in a relatively short amount of time that

can run on different (or all) platforms at once. However, since

HTML5 mobile app have no limitation on the platform, this also

means that nothing is specialized, or native, and therefore is

inherently less accommodating from the user’s perspective than

are native apps.


Hybrid App Devtelopment

Hybrid apps are HTML5 applications that are developed within a

native box. Developers have made strides using JavaScript, CSS

and HTML5 to develop web apps that are entertained in native

containers, all available on app stores, all available on distinct

platforms. User experience is not sacrificed, and the developers

have the freedom to do what they want.

So which is better? HTML5 mobile app offers flexibility and speed,

while native app offers strengths in design, user interface, and

overall experience. Hybrid app development combine the best of

both worlds and incorporate the strengths from each. In the end,

developers must create applications with the user in mind.

Innovations with hybrid applications will continue to increase as

the debate between “which is better” changes to “what works best

for the customer?.”
