What are the advantages of native apps over hybrid apps ?

Native apps are better than hybrid apps because they provide features reserved exclusively for the OS(operating system) and their execution time (runtime) and responsiveness (runtime) are superior to hybrid apps. A major advantage of native applications is that they provide the best user experience and performance.

What are Native apps:

Native apps are software programs that are developed for use on a particular platform or device, either iOS or Android. Mostly native Android apps are written in JAVA language while developers write iOS applications in Objective-C or Swift. These apps can provide optimized performance.

Examples: The most common Android native app example is WhatsApp. Lyft, Pokemon Go, and Twitter are examples of native apps.

What are Hybrid Apps:

Hybrid apps are combinations of web and native apps. They are installed like native apps and work like web apps. Hybrid applications have access to APIs and they can use resources like storage, GPS, as well as cameras. They are built with J.S, Html, and CSS.

Examples: Marketwatch (logic built), Tripline (built with framework 7), Sworkit (built with PhoneGap), and many more. 

Advantages of Native apps over Hybrid Apps:

• Improve application performance and its look and feel.
• Work directly with technologies created by the operating system using the Xcode and Android Studio environments. For Apple, it also works with hardware. Access to the latest platform updates, extensive documentation, and publications to help resolve
  issues.
• Native mobile apps run much smoother concerning user inputs and outputs. These types of apps inherit the device's operating system interface, and they also improve application performance and look and feel.
• Better external hardware integration and integration of devices.
• Native apps are developed specifically for the platform. Therefore, they are fast and offer good performance. They can be downloaded from various app stores and are not accessible via a browser.
• Opportunity for good design and user experience. For example, the sophisticated UX/UI design and animation implementation. Native app UI allows users to more quickly understand navigation within the app.

Disadvantages of Native apps:

• More than One codebase because for every platform you have to work with different codebases.
•  The cost of native app development is more than hybrid apps.
• Time spent on multiple built on different platforms will require separate teams which increases time and cost.

Difference between Native apps and Hybrid apps:

Conclusion: If we talk about comparison between native and web apps, the web apps can use a single codebase and they are fast and simple to build but these are not fast and versatile as native apps. But in hybrid applications they are based on web apps and we can't operate hybrid application in offline mode but native apps can operate offline.
