Do you plan to build and release a mobile app? It’s important that you know the different types of mobile apps as each one requires the use of different tools and app development processes. Understanding the different types of mobile apps will help you make a more informed decision about which one you would like to develop.

Different Types of Mobile Apps

Native app or web app

A decision you need to make early on is whether you want a native app or a web app. A web app is accessed via the internet, while a React native app is specific to operating systems and must be downloaded and installed before it can be used. React native apps function more reliably and make use of the operating system’s full capabilities. They remain on the user’s phone unless uninstalled, helping you maintain brand exposure.

Web apps, on the other hand, can function on a wider range of devices as developers don’t need to build separate apps for different operating systems. Also, since your user doesn’t have to download the web app to use it, they might be more inclined to use it.

Hybrid app development

If you plan to develop an app for a wearable device, smart TV or VR headset, then hybrid app development might be the way to go. These apps use both native and web solutions. Developing a hybrid app is cheaper and offers greater compatibility across a range of platforms.

Build an app based on users

It’s important to think about what experiences and features you want your mobile app to offer. Think about who your target audience is and what you want them to get out of your app. Are you looking for mobile game development, social media app development, enterprise app development or something else? Know the type of app you want and then think about how you will provide your target audience with genuine value.
