  1. Why React Native is a Leading Choice for App Development over Hybrid Apps? While developing mobile apps, most of the businesses want high-performing apps built faster at minimal costs. But the availability of numerous outstanding technologies causes dilemma while choosing between top-quality app development and low and affordable costs. In this regard, ‘Hybrid app development or React Native app development’ becomes the topic of the debate a lot of times. Several businesses go for hybrid apps thinking it meets their requirement. No doubt it offers advantages like: Faster development in a cost-efficient manner Wider reach at once Offline support Ease of integration with cloud But before investing in hybrid apps, businesses must also look at the drawbacks associated with it. Drawbacks of Hybrid Apps Unsatisfactory Performance: These apps crash several times. Also, these introduce an extra layer between the targeted mobile platform and the source code which ultimately alters their performance. Copyright © Biz4Solutions LLC.

  2. Unappealing User Interface: The first impression is the best impression. Hybrid apps visible on the app store do not entice the user because they have a very dull look and appear like web apps on the android and iOS platforms. Owing to lesser clarity users tend to avoid downloading such apps. Below-average User-experience: The UX of the modern-day apps is impeccable and highly captivating. But a hybrid mobile app fails to match with this raised bar of UX in the apps. They have sluggish graphics, limited animation, keyboard malfunction, and absence of platform-specific features that contribute to poor user experience. This could be the probable reason why Facebook switched from HTML5 to React Native. Debugging Issues: As discussed previously, the additional layer between the platform and the code of hybrid apps makes the debugging process lengthy and complex. The developers have to rely on the framework to make modifications to the targeted OS. Also, since the developers may not have a thorough knowledge of the target platform, detecting issues in these apps becomes highly time-consuming. Limitations while upgrading to Latest Features: To stay in the competition it is essential for the apps to embed new features and upcoming software capabilities. But in hybrid mobile apps, this process is extremely difficult and troublesome. With such disadvantages, it can become highly impossible to develop attractive, engaging, and robust apps while maintaining cost-effectiveness. At this time, React Native app development comes in picture. Top-notch benefits that React Native app development offers Copyright © Biz4Solutions LLC.

  3. Native-like Functionality and Appearance Similar platform components are used in React Native apps like native Android or iOS apps. So, these have native-like look and feel and have better performance. On the contrary, hybrid apps are like a web view with a native container wrapped around them. They are not smooth and fast. On any operative device, hybrid apps run and behave like web apps. Code-reusability for Time and Cost-efficient Development Since this framework allows the sharing of a single code-base across multiple platforms, it is possible to create top-grade apps in half the time when compared with native apps, thereby being more cost-effective. Hybrid apps, on the other hand, have age-old frameworks that require more time for development. ‘Ready-made’ Components and Third-party plugins React Native has a reusable component-specific structure, so the developers do not need to write code for these components from scratch. Comparatively, hybrid apps have a WebView component that is getting out-dated gradually. Also, React Native has a host of amazing third- party libraries with pragmatic interfaces and flexible customization options. ReactJS’s Programming Model React Native is nothing but a JavaScript framework at its core and makes use of the programming model of ReactJS. As a result, the React Native developersutilize the same conceptual framework used in ReactJS apps. Attractive and Efficient User Interface React Native is much more exclusive and versatile as compared to other JavaScript frameworks like Angular and React. Due to the asynchronous JavaScript connections, the resulting user interface of React Native becomes highly responsive and native-like. It has a smooth feel with faster loading times and looks much better visually as compared to hybrid apps. A rich Open-source Ecosystem and Vibrant Community Support This framework is open-source and has a rich open-source ecosystem for knowledge sharing and external integration. It is backed by a strong community and talented developers worldwide contribute to its progress. Big players like Facebook, GitHub, Callstack, Software Mansion, Microsoft, Infinite Red, etc. support this framework. Used by several Industry Giants Above all, this cross-platform framework supports big leaders like Instagram, Facebook, Tesla, Walmart, Bloomberg, etc. It is being adopted for varied applications by diverse industries and this fact speaks for the popularity of React Native. Other Technical Merits The below-mentioned features simplify the coding efforts and also make the testing of the apps easier. It has a modular architecture that helps to divide the code functions into free and interchangeable modules; thereby speeding up the development process.

  4. The ‘Hot-reload’ feature is another great feature of this framework. Any modification in the code immediately reflects in the apps, even while the apps are running. It reduces the wait times and allows the implementation of any feedbacks with ease. The declarative coding style in React Native makes the reading and understanding of code much easier. It enables even new developers with basic knowledge of JavaScript to grasp the coding of this framework. It allows for easy migration. Concluding Note: With this, we come to the end of this blog. We saw how apps developed in React Native have unparalleled quality and performance as compared to hybrid apps. It has almost killed hybrid app development. The apps built in React Native are stable and reliable. Also, it is a cost-effective technology for cross-platform mobile app development. Needless to say, this technology is already popular and every React Native app developmentcompany has a bright future. We hope this blog was helpful to you in understanding why React Native is a preferred choice for app development. Let us know your vital thoughts on this in the comment section.
