When should you build a hybrid mobile app?
Before committing to a platform strategy, it’s important to evaluate the technical and non-technical merits of hybrid versus alternatives like web and native – especially as it relates to your mobile application’s requirements. For example:
Which mobile platforms do you wish to target?
Do you want to distribute your application via app stores?
Are you looking to utilize the capabilities of the mobile device?
What are the technical abilities of your development team?
Does the one-size-fit-all approach of hybrid really live up to its promise?
These and other questions are worth asking before embarking upon development of a mobile application. To elaborate on this, let’s examine a few of these questions in more detail.
