The document compares native apps and web apps, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Native apps offer better performance and functionality but require separate development for different platforms, while web apps allow for quick updates and multi-platform support but need an internet connection and may perform poorly in low-quality data environments. The choice between the two depends on factors like target audience, required functionality, and budget.

1. NATIVE APPS
vs
WEB APPS

2. You have a million-dollar app idea, but now you have to
decide how exactly it is gonna work
Your app
native app
web app

3. NATIVE APPS ROCK
Allow function with no
Internet connection
Improved performance
and additional
functionality (push
notifications, device camera)
Distributed via app
stores (Apple iTunes, Google
Play, Windows Store, etc.)

4. Developing only one
native app excludes
users on other platforms
Require users to
download and install
updates
Can require considerably
more time and money to
develop for multiple
platforms
NATIVE APPS SUCK

5. But what about
WEB APPS?

6. Allow a single version to be
developed and run on multiple
platforms (Android, Apple iOS,
Windows Mobile)
May be updated instantly on
the server side for rapid
deployment
WEB APPS ROCK

7. Require Internet
connection to function,
and may perform
erratically on low quality
data connection
Do not support Digital
Rights Management
(DRM), background
processing, or secure
storage and push
notifications
HTML5 adoption is
fragmented across
platforms and web apps
may not render
consistently
WEB APPS SUCK

8. You should make your choice considering:
• Target audience
• Required functionality
• Your budget
