Apps are becoming more and more important in the business world. They improve communication with clients, collaboration between employees, secure data storage and information control. Today in Development of custom applications Failure to incorporate mobile technologies creates unnecessary risk in a highly competitive environment.
When choosing an app for your company, you have to differentiate between:
- Native apps: They are those that are developed specifically for an operating system, and have to be installed on the device.
- Non-native apps: they consist of a single development that can be deployed on various operating systems and are also easily accessible through a browser.
Until recently the native apps they still had some advantage when it came to performance and quality, and in some cases their application was necessary. But an improving trend in non-native apps has made them the preferred option for carrying out all kinds of solutions for the end customer. They are faster and cheaper to develop, easier to bring to market, and more scalable.
Some non-native apps known are Instagram, Tesla, Walmart, and Facebook, five-star apps that can do pretty much the same thing as a native Android or iOS app.
The barrier between the behavior of non-native and native apps has disappeared thanks to the progressive web apps that allow improvements such as adding the application to the home screen of the device, performing offline functions, and sending push notifications. In addition, both Windows and iOS have announced that they support them natively, so they can be used in Android, iOS, Chrome, Firefox y Windows.
Other technologies have appeared in recent years, such as WebAssembly, which manages to increase the power of non-native apps, making them run at the speeds of a native app with constant performance; and bookstores like React native e Ionic that allow non-native apps to be implemented in a productive way, meeting the design and usability requirements of the clients.
