  1. Will PWAs Cause the Death of Native Apps?

  2. Progressive Web Apps or PWAs are the latest buzzword in the field of web development. The main reason behind their stunning popularity is that pwa is responsible for making it possible to install web apps on the phone. Many experts and practitioners of mobile web development have spoken fondly about PWAs and promote it fiercely due to its countless advantages. Keeping this in mind, Nevina Infotech has listed down some of the major benefits of PWAs.

  3. What Are Progressive Web Apps?

  4. The term Progressive Web App is used to denote a new web development method. This methodology is unique because it is an amalgamation between traditional web pages and mobile applications. PWAs try to offer the combined features of modern browsers on the mobile experience. But the question arises that if PWAs are the new age web applications, then will they slowly replace native apps? Well, PWAs might not completely kill native apps. One of the reasons being that mobile web technology has significantly improved in the past few years. The modern customer wants a seamless web browsing experience. This is something that native apps provide better than PWAs. But the latter do have certain advantages which might lead web developers to gradually switch from native apps.

  5. 1. Native Apps Are Saturating The Market

  6. There are millions of applications on the app stores. These apps usually fall into a few specific categories, like social media, messaging, streaming services, or games. In such a saturated market, it is extremely difficult for a new app to find a place. Only if the idea of a new app is unique, then building a native app makes sense. Otherwise, it can prove to be an expensive endeavor.

  7. 2. PWA Supports Better SEO Visibility

  8. If not directly, but indirectly, PWAs can improve SEO capabilities. It can increase your engagement and performance among the audience. This is mainly because of the PWAs function differently from other websites. Their service scripts perform separately from the website, meaning they only request the data and not the layout and styling of the pages. This feature of PWAs makes them faster and more high-performing apps. Customers prefer speedy webpages as no one has the time to wait around for pages to load. A faster app means more conversions, and from an SEO perspective, it means better ranking on search engines.

  9. 3. Speeds Up Indexability

  10. A major advantage of PWAs is that they help to hasten indexability. Indexability is an important aspect in providing your app with a competitive advantage. This is basically because it reduces the number of steps the user has to take in order to fully engage with your app. In the case of PWAs, there is no need for app stores. Downloads or updates need not be dealt with by the users; they happen without any botheration. In contrast with native apps, PWAs don’t get lost in the crowd of applications on the app store.

  11. 4. PWAs Make Sharing Content Easy

  12. If the content is king, then it is even more important if the content is worthy of being shared by viewers. Almost all of the sharing of content that takes place on the web is via instant messaging or social media. However, the sad news is that native apps fall far behind in this regard. This is the reason why digital marketing and web companies are investing heavily in progressive web application development. PWAs facilitate sharing through shorter URLs, and content forwarding can take place across applications.

  13. Two Schools of Thought

  14. Progressive Web Apps might be the future, but there is no denying that native apps hold certain benefits over them. They offer a greater variety of features, security, and faster navigation. PWAs will gradually evolve in these matters in due time. PWAs provide visibility and shareability and also perform better than native apps. Also, the costs associated with developing a native app are too high to risk for a startup or even an established company. There is a gradual change towards progressive web apps, with customers preferring to use them over other alternatives. This growing trend is inspiring companies to venture into this market slowly. While PWAs score greater points over native apps, it is still a long time before native apps are completely obliterated.
