Why AppyBee chooses Native Apps: The differences and benefits explained

Hey there, app enthusiasts! If you've ever wondered why AppyBee chooses native apps instead of web apps, then you've come to the right place. In the wonderful world of applications, there are two major players: native apps and web apps. We explain to you what the differences are and why we at AppyBee are convinced of the power of native apps.

Native Apps: The App that Feels Like Home

Native apps are applications designed specifically for a particular operating system, such as iOS or Android. They are downloaded and installed via the App Store or Google Play Store and are fully integrated with your device. And you know what's so cool? They make full use of the possibilities of your smartphone!

The 'Sham App' Phenomenon: A Shortcut Is Not an App!

We need to clear up a persistent misunderstanding. Some companies ask you to add their website to your home screen and call it an "app." But don't let that fool you! This is just a shortcut to a website and definitely doesn't provide the same experience as a real native app.
‍
Why is this important? Because these 'fake apps' not only have less functionality, but also because they are not optimized for your device. They work slower, are less secure and you miss that extra layer of user-friendliness that you get with a native app.
‍
At AppyBee we say: if you do it, do it right. A shortcut to a website may seem useful, but it will never provide the complete, optimized experience that a native app can. And that is exactly the experience we want to offer you.

Benefits of Native Apps

✅ Speed and performance: A native app runs smoother and faster. Why? Because it is optimized for the operating system it runs on. This way you can enjoy smooth animations and instant reactions.
✅ Ease of use : The user interface is seamlessly tailored to the look & feel of your device, offering a more intuitive user experience.
✅ Offline access : No internet? No problem! Many features are also available offline.
✅ Advanced functionality : Native apps can take advantage of all the cool hardware features of your device, such as the camera, GPS, and notifications.
✅ Safety : Native apps are generally more secure because they meet the strict requirements of app stores.
✅ Better SEO : An added benefit of native apps is that they are also visible in app-specific searches, providing additional visibility.

Honest about the costs: More developers, but definitely worth it

Let's face it: developing native apps costs more and you need more developers. But at AppyBee we believe it is well worth the investment. Many companies opt for the cheaper web app solution, but miss the unique benefits that native apps offer.

Web Apps: Always accessible, but less cozy

A web app is an application that runs in a web browser. Think of Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. It sounds convenient, but there are limitations.

Limitations of Web Apps

⛔️ Depending on an internet connection : Say goodbye to your app when you drive in a tunnel.
⛔️ Limited access to hardware : Your camera and GPS are just a little bit harder to use.
⛔️ Less fast performance : They are generally slower and less fluid to use.
⛔️ Security risks : Web apps are often more susceptible to security issues such as cross-site scripting and data breaches.
