Decisions on mobile app
development can be crucial, especially for someone the whole idea is new.
Mobile apps have now become a very important for many businesses. But the whole
debate about having a native mobile app or a hybrid app is still going on!
Honestly, enough of the top 5 reasons to choose
native app or hybrid app because it does not really help you decide anything.
For these decisions, you need to talk to a mobile development expert and IT professionals who know what will suit your
business type and its target audience.
Coming to the point, mobile
development usually comprises of a development architecture where finding the
right technology stack and other aspects are under consideration.
Choice of Operating System
The masses use the Android or iPhones while iPhones enjoy the largest
market share in China. Android dominates the smartphone usage in the US, Asia,
Europe and Germany. But the use of iOS and Android keep changing and thus it is
always good to have developed a mobile app for both. At Helios, there have been
times when a client went for only iOS
development and then eventually had to develop the mobile app for Android.
Cross Platform or Hybrid
The difference between cross platform and hybrid development is the flexibility of development with
technologies for each. The cross platform development takes non web
technologies like .NET framework. Whereas, developing with web technologies
takes HTML5 and JavaScript. We think this also depend on many factors like the
business type, location and target audience. So we suggest talking to our
mobile development specialists.
Technology Stack Selection
This is not much of the juggle as there are only three technologies to
choose from. When you choose the technology, then you choose the platform for
development. It is in fact the simplest decision in the entire process of
mobile development.
Paid App or Free
This is one of the business decision that again depends on the
investments you make. But for the record, today most of the apps are available
for free. Also, mobile app development specialist at Helios Solutions recommend going
free initially and once there are enough people using the app, you can go for
the paid version.
