Difference Between Native App and Hybrid App
A native app is a smartphone application developed specifically for a mobile operating system (think Objective-C or Swift for iOS vs. Java for Android).
Hybrid app has lots of advantages but bad user experience.
Native Apps are developed following the technical and user experience guidelines of the OS (e.g. swipes, app defined gestures, left aligned header on Android, centrally aligned header on iOS, etcetera), it not only has the advantage of faster performance but also “feels right”.
Basically, a hybrid app is a web app built using HTML5 and JavaScript, wrapped in a native container which loads most of the information on the page as the user navigates through the application (Native apps instead download most of the content when the user first installs the app). Usual suspects here are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, your mobile banking app, etcetera.
Hybrid apps are, one, easier to build; two, take less time to market, and three, maintain one code base.
Native App has best security, best in user experience, best performance and also can be used in offline mode.
Hybrid App has portability (one code base, multiple platforms), access to various hardware/software capabilities (through plugins), cheaper cost to launch.
