Here are ten advantages that have been identified for developing a native mobile application. We trust that you will find this information helpful in your own evaluation of this topic.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ea7f23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ea7f23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"viewer-dmj5p\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong>Here are ten reasons to consider a native app for your mobile application:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><ol><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">If you or your customer have cited performance as key to the success of the app, then a native application is highly desirable \u2013 as the code that runs the app is on the device. This is a vast improvement over a web-based or hybrid model where the content needs to be downloaded each time the application is used.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">A native app will most likely have a better user experience. It is the key for a developer to retain the same experience of the phone that customers are seeing and use their navigation in the same way.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">If your design requires access to user data such as user contacts, calendar, and photos or send push notifications to your users then a native app may fit the bill.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">If your app requires usage without an internet connection \u2013 such as taking notes, or an offline game like Scrabble.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">When you want to increase conversion rates, any sources have found that native apps have better conversion rates than hybrid or the web-based apps.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">If you decide on completing native versions, it\u2019s not necessary to develop for both Android and iOS immediately. As an example, Instagram was only available on iOS for a full 2-year period. You can choose one platform to start and move from your initial success.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">While there are many groups that claim that developing a hybrid app is much cheaper, it is not always the case. It may possibly be cheaper to maintain two applications in two codebases than to maintain two applications in one hybrid codebase.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">A native app is more secure than a hybrid app because the extra layer that you need to account for in a hybrid app provides an additional layer of security to crack. With a hybrid application, this additional layer provides an extra door to penetrate.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">With native and hybrid apps, you get access to distribution from the Apple app store or Google Play \u2013 this can be a positive distribution method for many developers and it provides strong SEO ratings.<\/li><li class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">When you rely on tools to help you with hybrid app development, you have to wait for these vendors to create new toolsets after a major release of Android or iOS is developed. Moreover, you are depending on their long-term success which is not the case for native apps.<\/li><\/ol><p id=\"viewer-237ks\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Native apps can transform your business strategies and outlook. Building a trusted partnership with an experience in every aspect of the application forms the basis of various benefits of what the application stands for. Thus a strong foundation promises success that can reach new heights.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-4spi9\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><a class=\"TWoY9 itht3\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.extentia.com\/Extentia's-Partner-Success-Director-featured-in-siliconindia.pdf\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer noopener\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\">Coverage of this blog post in siliconindia.<\/a><\/span><\/p><p id=\"viewer-e7lb\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Read other <a class=\"TWoY9 itht3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.extentia.com\/media-resources\/blog\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer noopener\" data-hook=\"linkViewer\">Extentia Blog posts here<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ganesh Dhumale, Tech Lead .
