What App Development Style Suits your Business?

At Codebricks, we subscribe to 'the right tool for the job' approach and do not use a particular technology just because its the latest shiny tool. We take two approaches to Android and IOS app development, and can help you choose which is the best one for your project:

progressive web app agency logo

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a website that looks and feels like a mobile app. A PWA can be submitted to the Android and IOS app stores, and once installed creates an icon on the user's device, just like a 'real app'. Here are some business considerations for choosing a Progressive Web App:

  • savings Lots cheaper to build than native as a PWA has just 1 codebase for Web, Android and IOS versions.
  • bolt PWA's are faster to build than a native app, making them a great option for proof of concepts or prototypes.
  • update Easy and free to update to a newer app store version without time-wasting resubmissions.
  • visibility Great user experience because a PWA has an identical look across Web and App versions.
  • engineering PWAs have a less intuitive install on IOS than a native app.
  • 3d_rotation Apps requiring intensive processing power (e.g. games) are not best suited to PWA's.
  • ios IOS PWA support has some limitations and hardware access restrictions.

A 'Native App' is built using the operating system's language, like Swift for iOS or Kotlin/Java for Android. Alternatively, a hybrid approach uses a cross-platform language, such as React Native or Flutter, to create apps for both iOS and Android. Here are some business considerations for choosing a Native App:

  • bolt Apps requiring fast graphics or other device intensive processes are best developed natively.
  • smartphone A true 'App Experience' for your users, better install experience on IOS.
  • key Full access to device features like GPS, Biometrics and NFC make native app development a good choice,
  • wifi_off Robust support for offline working and larger capacity for offline storage.
  • currency_pound Costlier to develop and maintain, especially when you want to offer a web-based experience too (i.e. a Portal)
  • schedule Longer Time to Market due to the need for distinct codebases and app store approval processes.
  • search Limited discoverability, as native apps depend on app store listings for visibility, while PWAs are indexed by search engines, making them easier to find.
