Smartphones have become the main channel of communication between people. From them we can make phone calls, send SMS or WhatsApp messages, download social networks, visit any website and many other actions. Its popularity has made many companies take their systems to the mobile environment, facilitating the access of users through the phone.

Do you want to know why? Do not hesitate and join us in this post.
They are mobile applications designed in web programming language (HTML, CSS or JavaScript) together with a framework that makes it possible to adapt the web view to any mobile device, what we know as responsive design. In short, hybrid applications are built to be used in different operating systems, avoiding having to carry out their creation for each of them.
In general, this type of application requires less investment in development than a native application, reduces time to market, maintenance is carried out in a single code source, the interface and functionalities are updated without going through the App Store or Google Play, facilitates access to information, allows the dissemination of content, etc.
You have probably heard about hybrid apps vs. native apps. This is a common question when we are going to start an App project. The first thing we will do is hire a development specialist, based on the utility we want to give our application, the users who are going to use it, the environment where it will operate, etc. We will start by analysing the needs that the project wants to cover, the objectives to be achieved and the public to which it will be addressed.
We will write the requirements analysis (functionalities and services that you want to offer to the users through the App). Now, what are the differences between a native and hybrid application?
Don't think that there are only these differences, there are many more requirements that make native apps different from hybrid apps. It all depends on the type of app you have in mind and the users that are going to use it. Do you want to know which option fits better with your business? Don't hesitate to contact us.
Although hybrid Apps also have some drawbacks, such as the loading time (slower than in a native App), their features make them very useful applications for any user and company:
So, the question you are probably asking yourself right now is when should I develop a hybrid app? Generally, it is recommended to create this type of apps for companies when their project is going to be focused on content creation and distribution (media apps, social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Uber, WhatsApp...).
Here are some facts that show the growing trend in mobile phone usage and app downloading:
The development of hybrid mobile apps is generally more time and cost-effective than other types of apps, as well as being an agile process. These Apps can be used on many different platforms thanks to the code base on which they are built. Thanks to external permissions, they can be published in the main app shops on the market.
