What is a Hybrid Application?

Differences between hybrid and native 

Applications

A well-written and optimised hybrid should not differ from the native application, also in appearance. As a result, the user may not notice that he is using a hybrid. In addition, its creation time is much shorter than with a native application because we write the application once, and it is available on three operating systems. For native applications, we need three different applications written in subjective-C (iOS), Java (Android) and C # (Windows Phone). Hence, the costs of writing a hybrid are incomparably lower, which is often important when choosing the application to be written.

Disadvantages of Hybrids

Unfortunately, no solution is ever perfect. For large, complex applications and games where speed is important and the application is not cut, the hybrid gives way to a native colleague. However, this changes over time and the speed of such an application continues to increase with the development of technology and faster mobile devices.

The most popular hybrid applications

Here is a list of some of the most popular hybrid applications that many people would never suspect that this technology was used to create:

• Amazon App Store
• Evernote
• Twitter
• Apple App Store
• Gmail
• Uber
• Instagram

RWD

By writing a hybrid application, we can adapt it to various types of devices, such as phones or tablets, so that its appearance changes depending on resolving the device, so that the application always looks nice and provides a friendly and comfortable environment for the user.

Summary

If

• We have a limited budget.
• we want to create an application quickly,
• the application is not too complicated, extensive, and demanding

... we can safely start writing a hybrid application. Otherwise, it may be better to write a native application.
