What are iPhone Native Apps?
What are iPhone Web Apps?
Comparison of the two kinds of apps
Verdict – which app is right for you?
Native iPhone App• When your app is a complex
app like a game or involves many steps
• When it needs to use hardware features or location features
• When processor speed needs to be used
• When portability is not an issue
• When data needs to be stored on the iPhone
Web App• When your app solves a simple
task in very few steps• When no hardware features
are required• When processor speed is not
critical• When portability is important• When data does not need to
be stored on the phone itself, but on another server (so that it can be accessed from another app)
Conclusion
• The two kinds of apps are appropriate in different scenarios• Only the business requirements and functionality of the app
will determine which one is better over the other in that particular situation
• Evaluate the requirements and decide based on the comparison table
• We can help you decide and build – let us know and we will be happy to work with you on this. We have experience and expertise in building both kinds of applications
