We
are not sure about which mobile app platform will help us to succeed. To help
you with the solution, this post will make you aware with the pros and cons of
varied platforms which will help you decide which mobile app development
platform is worth spending time and money on.
1) Hybrid
App:
The
first thing to decide is whether to opt for hybrid app creation or native app
creation. Hybrid app is well defined as a website wrapped in a native app.
Pros:
Hybrid
Apps can be developed easily with not much of the development costs. Hybrid
Apps involves majority of its code written in HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Porting
the app to any other platform is considered to be a very easy task; it just
requires some additional development work to complete the process.
Cons:
Hybrid
apps have more of clunkier design which makes it easy for the users to identify
it. They do not functional smoothly and are not polished they way a good native
app is. This drawback of Hybrid App leads to a poor user experience. Not only
may this but they even lack in delivering a complete portability. Following
this reason, Facebook took a decision to not further continue with Hybrid App
which lead to the creation of Native App.
The
best time to create a Hybrid App is when you wish to create a simple app which
would not last for a long time and will be replaced by a native app.
2) Android:
Pros:
Android
App attracts majority of the android app developer as it allows the creation of an app
easily with affordable phones, tablets etc. Android is featured with
comparatively large user base and also higher potential users of your app. When
you are in the process of publishing apps on Google Play, there are certain
rules which needs to be followed, but publishing apps on other Android
Marketplaces are free of rules.
Cons:
Developing
an Android Apps has two major drawbacks. Android Apps cannot be created with a
motive of generating revenue as it does not have much capacity to create more
money. Also, Android Apps faces a lot of fragmentation which demands for much
of the accounting and testing.
With rapid development of Android devices, undoubtedly all of us will have to opt for Android Version of the app sooner or later. Considering the goals of your app, if your motive is to get reasonable revenue, freeing yourself from the testing requirements, and also wish to have maximum number of users of your app, Android is the best choice in this case.
3) iOS:
Pros:
The
matter of fact for iOS app development is that iOS app developer’s makes
maximum money when compared to other app developing platforms. Development and
testing process of iOS is simple and easy task.
Cons:
Android
Apps does not come with much of the flexible app creation process. It pertains
to a strict approval process which demands you to confirm to the Apple’s
rules. Checking Apple’s guidelines can
help you to overcome difficulties you face while developing your app.
iOS
apps leads to high revenue generation and also provides ease in the testing
process. This is not possible with Android or any other platforms.
4) Windows
Phone:
Pros:
In
the prevailing scenario Microsoft still has influence over the technology world
considering which there is still a small segment of population left who buy
Windows Phone. In some parts of the world, the ones who buys Windows Phones get
to avail the benefit of the incentives being offered which makes Windows Phone
cheaper than the Android ones. There are very less companies who creates
Windows Phone, this can be taken as an opportunity for the creation of an App
similar to the one running on iOS or Android but is yet to be created for
Windows Phone.
Cons:
Windows
Phones have only 4% of the market Share. You may take to target the very niche
audience, but Windows Phone will not lead you to the path of success. Just with
a great camera, platform cannot be grown.
5) BlackBerry:
Pros:
Blackberry
apps are now not much in demand, but it has some of the advantages. With an
extended competition in other platforms, creating an app on blackberry
platforms can take you to be the only one to do so. These devices are still a
choice of some of the people and it generally leads to creation of high income.
Blackberry provides much support to the developers and allows creations of an
app in any of the programming languages.
Cons:
Blackberry
is considered to be a slow web browser and does not offer a satisfactory
experience to the user. The application store of blackberry is not user
friendly. It offers the users with the applications which is not at all
effective in the client interface. Blackberry has been designed in a way that
it will suit only the corporate world and will not be able to fulfil the needs
of a normal mobile client. Even in the prevailing conditions, it has not been
modified.
