Native App Vs. WebView app: what do you really need?

I've been building web-apps contained in a native wrapper for about 7 years now and I would definitely recommend it depending on your use case. By saying native wrapper, I mean an actual iOS/Android app but with just a web view and a javascript bridge to communicate with native features through the web where necessary. This has reduced delivery times by multiple folds. It also makes it possible to very quickly iterate and deploy new versions for bug fixes or new feature as you don't need any user to actually update their apps to have a bug fixed or access a new feature. Of course there are nuances and bunch of UX considerations to be able to provide a native-like experience but its possible. Don't get me wrong, I love pure native app approach but I think for certain cases native development becomes too expensive if you need to build it for two platforms and still do a web/desktop version of an app..

Navigating the native app vs. web view app conundrum involves understanding your project's core requirements. Native apps boast high performance and deep integration, perfect for feature-rich experiences. Conversely, web view apps expedite development, suitable for content-focused applications.

This discussion strikes at the heart of a common dilemma. Native apps offer the best user experience and performance, leveraging device capabilities. Yet, webview apps streamline development and maintenance. Ultimately, your choice should match your project goals and user expectations.

Deciding between native and web-view apps requires understanding your priorities. Native apps promise performance and deep integration, while web view apps prioritize development speed. Your app's unique needs will guide you toward the best solution for your goals.

When deliberating between native and web view apps, consider your app's purpose. Native apps thrive in providing the best user experience, while web view apps prioritize ease of development—factor in your budget, timeline, and user expectations to make an informed decision.

It's the classic trade-off: native apps provide a rich user experience, while webview apps offer efficiency. If you're aiming for cutting-edge performance and functionality, native might be your choice. If you value quicker development and cost-effectiveness, consider the webview approach.

Accessibility shouldn't be overlooked. Native apps have better accessibility support compared to some WebView implementations.

Native app is the best solution

The choice between a Native App and a WebView App is influenced by various factors that impact functionality, user experience, development effort, and more. The choice depends on your priorities, goals, and resources. If performance, device integration, and advanced functionalities are crucial, a native app might be the right choice. If you're aiming for faster development, cross-platform compatibility, and simpler functionalities, a WebView app could be more suitable. Always consider your target audience, project scope, and long-term goals before making a decision.

Classic answer: It depends... 😅😅😅😅

Native all the way.

I enjoy using native apps a lot more than web apps, but there are advantages to both. I'm developing a native marketing/SEO content editor app for Windows and here are the reasons that I considered both: Native apps are smoother, usually better looking, and functional. You give other developers a lot of options for automation as well (my huge gripe with most SEO SaaS is that you have to click many times in order to save data locally). The downsides are that you don't have control over other people's hardware. My PC can run small LLMs and do NLP relatively fine, but a lot of my target audience doesn't care to have a beefy computer that can do that. So the functions have to be efficient and can't take up a lot of space. This leads to better code, but less large data to rely on. User data is also more secure. On the flip side, web apps give me way more control over users. I could run bigger algorithms, use worse code (they aren't expecting native speeds in the first place plus I can use server grade hardware), and I could aggregate more data to sell to other users. This is the more profitable route. As a business owner, web apps seem better for sustainable business, since I'd be charging monthly and able to leverage the customer base for more customers due to data collection, but as a consumer who cares about my privacy and money, I hate that.
