Pros and Cons of Native Apps

What are Native Apps?

Native apps are mobile applications developed for a specific mobile operating system that are coded in a platform-specific programming language. Simply put, for iOS we usually use Objective C or Swift, for Android we use Java and for Windows phone we use C#.

As native apps are specially designed for a specific platform, they take advantage of operating system features. It has access to device-specific hardware, software, the features that are available on the device such as a GPS, camera, one touch pay and figure print.

Similar to other application approaches, native apps have their own positives and negatives.

Advantages of Native Apps:
☑️ Speed
☑️ Offline Work
☑️ Full functionality for users
☑️ Superior level of performance
☑️ Availability

Disadvantages of Native Apps:
⛔️ Cost
⛔️ Expensive Development
⛔️ Time Consumption

Although native apps are often preferred over web apps, they’re expensive to build and require consistent maintenance. So to decide whether or not native apps are worth the investment, companies must carefully analyze the pros and cons of building or using one.
