NATIVE APPLICATION
A native application is developed specifically for an operating system: iOS or Android. It is installed directly on the smartphone and can function without an internet connection, depending on its purpose and nature.
Native applications take full advantage of the device’s features (subject to user consent), such as GPS, camera, microphone, contact list, and multimedia files.
Native applications offer more advantages than their hybrid or web-based counterparts, namely:
- Better performance
- A smoother user experience
- Fewer risks of bugs
- Enhanced security
- Greater stability
- Flexibility

HYBRID APPLICATION
A hybrid mobile application is simply an application with a single source code that is compatible with Android, iOS, or Windows Phone.
Having a single source code means half the work, and only one code to modify for updates and other changes. This solution greatly simplifies the process and saves time and money.
It also optimizes design costs and avoids having to consider the constraints associated with each operating system.
By choosing a hybrid application, you ensure that your source code is centralized in one place, reducing errors and allowing you to offer a higher-quality solution by spending more time on its improvement than on its development.
