What is a hybrid app?

A hybrid app is a mobile application that combines elements of both native and web technologies. It is built using web languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then wrapped in a native container that allows it to run on iOS and Android devices. Hybrid apps are typically developed using frameworks such as Ionic or Apache Cordova.

The advantage of hybrid mobile app development is that it allows faster time to market and code reusability across platforms. However, hybrid apps may not perform as efficiently as fully native apps, especially when dealing with graphics-intensive features or complex animations.

Mobile app development companies recommend hybrid apps for businesses looking for a cost-effective way to build apps for multiple platforms without starting from scratch.
