Native App For The Native User

iTunes can’t be downloaded on Android and Nova Launcher is not compatible with Apple. Exclusivity separates these two platforms from each other and something by the name of the native app has to do with this selectiveness. Native means reared in a particular place in a particular environment that distinguishes it from any foreign visitor. Bringing it in the context of software development, native apps can be understood as something that is reared for a particular platform.
What is a native app?

Native apps are designed and developed for specific operating systems like Android OS or Apple iOS. These are designed for specific mobile devices that can be downloaded from the Apple Play store or Google Play store and can be installed on the device directly.

Don’t you download apps for shopping, yoga, music etc? When you visit the play store, either you get a command to download or there is an error displayed showing that your software is not compatible with the application. When you encounter any such message, the reason is that the mobile operating system is not compatible with the app and thus you cannot download it to your device.

What are the advantages of native apps?

Since native apps are designed for a particular category of devices, so every mobile application development platform needs its development process and its specific programming language like Visual C++, Java (Android), Objective-C (iOS) etc. In addition to this, SDK (Standardized Software Development Kits) are provided by the manufacturer for every platform. Keeping this in mind, the pros of native apps can be highlighted as:

The accessibility to the native features of the device is very easy. This includes quick readiness to accelerometer, camera, contact list, GPS, compass etc.

Native apps can be conveniently downloaded on the device you have and you don’t need a web browser to run standalone applications. By visiting the play store you can choose the apps you want to download depending on your requirements.

Since native apps can be used in offline mode as well, so these are faster to operate and provide immediate access to information.

The performance of native apps is faster than web apps because the information is stored locally and synchronization with the web takes place only after the user has finished using the app.

The security and safety of the app is never a challenge because native apps are certified by the app store for which they are made.

Native apps incorporate app defined gestures or standard operating system gestures.
