What Is a Native Mobile App? How Is It Better Than Hybrid Apps?

Did you recently come across the term “native mobile application” while consulting with an expert? Well, we are sure you must be dumbfounded and confused at once. 


But you don’t have to get confused any longer. This blog talks about Native Mobile Applications and their benefits to help you grasp the concept better. 


What is a Native App?


Native apps are software applications built using a certain programming language for a certain device platform. 

And when we use the term “certain,” we mean that native apps built for Android devices will not work on an iPhone device. The reason is the programming language used to build the app.


The best thing about native apps is that since they are built for a particular platform, they end up taking absolute benefit of the device’s features. 


How is it better than a Hybrid application?


1- The best performance 


As mentioned before, native apps are built for a particular platform, meaning there is very less problem of speed and flexibility. The app will have lower load times and will sync quite well with the operating system of your device. 

This is why Native mobile app consulting in Vancouver suggests choosing a native mobile app to create augmented reality applications. 


2- Has fewer bugs


When it comes to maintaining two different applications on a single codebase, the challenges are more severe than managing two apps in a different codebase. This is one of the logic why native applications are considered manageable. Removing bugs and other malware issues becomes simple. 


Similarly, native apps don’t rely on Xamarin or Cordova, meaning the occurrence of bugs is little to nothing. 


3- Secure


Talking about security, native apps are capable of supporting the in-built security features of an OS. They have ingrained certificates that eliminate man in middle attacks, therefore, decreasing the risk of exploitation. 


Native apps can also be integrated with a multi-factor authentication mechanism for added security to banking or online-payment apps. 


4- Offers better user experience 


The developers are required to abide by the UI/UX standards when developing a native app, so the application appears like a unified part of the device. 


Compared to hybrid apps, native apps have much smoother user inputs and outputs. In short, the app design becomes quite intuitive by using a native application. 


Similarly, it is quite effortless to integrate native apps with AI mobile assistants. 


To be concluded


These are just a handful of justifications that make a native mobile app a better option than a web or hybrid application.
