Native Applications
A native mobile application brings a richer, more compelling user experience. The user interface of a native app can be designed to be consistent with what the user expects and is accustomed to on their particular device - with a native application, the "Feel" in "Look and Feel" is predictable.
Native applications are installed directly onto the device. Users typically acquire these apps through an online store or marketplace such as the Apple App Store or Android Google Play.
Native apps have some big advantages, such as :
- Software & Hardware Integration - Native apps are more effective at integrating the unique built-in capabilities of the mobile device into the application, such as the GPS, contact list, camera, accelerometer, etc.
- Offline Access - Native apps can be used when the device has no network connectivity, such as on an airplane, in the subway or in an underground parking garage. If users are sometimes in areas where network access is unavailable or unreliable, a native app is your only real option.
- Push Capabilities - Native apps can use the "Push Technology" available on mobile devices to automatically update the application data rather than relying on the user to trigger the update. You can get crucial information out to your users without having them asking for it.
