2. Easy Communication with Customers

3. Offline Usage

4. Enhanced User Experience

Cons of Mobile Application

1. Development Complexity

2. Cost: Distribution Costs

3. Updates and Support

Apps that can be open on a user's device via web browser. It is custom designed websites that are built to look and be used as native apps, though they are not stored on a user's device.

Web Application

Pros of Web Applications

1. Web based applications are easier to handle and thus can execute on most any OS platform.

2. Even if without the approval of any app stores, the developers can still offer the application

3. Fast development cycles using CSS, HTML and JavaScript.

Cons of Web Applications

1. Slower Performance: web apps often operate at a slower speed compared to applications hosted on local servers. This limitation can impact user experience, especially for resource-intensive tasks.

2. Dependency on Internet Connection: web apps rely entirely on an Internet connection. If the internet is unavailable, users cannot access the app. A reliable connection is essential for browsing the website and running the app.

3. Browser Dependency: web apps are closely tied to the web browser. While this provides benefits like cross-platform compatibility, any issues with the website (such as unresponsiveness) directly affect the app’s functionality.

4. Limited Functionality: Web apps may not leverage device-specific features as effectively as native apps. They lack access to certain hardware capabilities, limiting their functionality.

5. Security Concerns: Since web apps run in a browser, there is no quality control system like app stores. Users are not guaranteed the same level of safety and security as native apps.

6. Increased App Size: Web apps tend to have larger file sizes due to their direct link to the browser. A large app can be considerably slower than a native desktop application.

• meaning they can build hybrid apps that works on multiple platforms

• Great options for developers who create intensive apps (e.g games).

Cons of Hybrid Application

• It is better to make them native in the case of very complicated applications

• Requires much time and effort in developing to make it feel and look good for a native user.

• If it doesn't work properly, app stores may refuse the hybrid application.

Acts as a bridge between different software components, enabling them to communicate and exchange data.Facilitatess efficient software development by allowing programmers to access pre-built functionality without writing complex code.
