PWA or Native App Development?

PWAs offer advantages like lower development costs, easier maintenance, and broad accessibility through web URLs. They are well-suited for content-driven apps and service-oriented platforms.
However, native apps excel in performance, utilize device-specific features, and often provide higher engagement through app stores.
What's your view on balancing these approaches in digital strategy today?

Both PWA and native app development have their own strengths; PWAs are cost-effective and easier to maintain, while native apps offer better performance and access to device features. The choice ultimately depends on your specific needs and resources.

@lightfield Absolutely! Thinking about what matters most to your users and balancing that with your development resources will steer you in the right direction.
Don't know why but it feels like PWAs' high is over now. People are still prefering native apps given the flexibility/customization.
Launching soon!
Deciding between PWA and native apps is like choosing between a Swiss Army knife (PWA - versatile and accessible) and a high-powered sports car (native - top performance and flashy features). How do you strike the right balance in your digital toolkit?
@thestarkster I believe matching the choice to our project's needs and user expectations will help us find the perfect fit for our digital toolkit.
Our project is going to start with a native app. We expect it to give us some rather unique features to stand out among competitors. PWA is also in the roadmap, right after we get some proof of concept and core audience.
@klauss_zee That sounds like a strategic approach. Starting with a native app to leverage platform-specific features and deliver a great user experience is smart. Unique features will help your product stand out. Introducing a Progressive Web App (PWA) later will expand your reach across devices. Good luck with your development journey!
To balance PWAs and native apps, consider using React Native for cross-platform development. It combines the performance benefits of native apps with the cost-efficiency and accessibility of a single codebase, ensuring a versatile and high-performing digital strategy.

For a consumer application, native makes sense on mobile (discoverability through app stores, easy launches). PWA can make sense for all other use cases (consumer application on desktop, business application on desktop/mobile).
