Apple App Store / Google Play Store / Microsoft App Store / Chrome web store - Welcome to the world of native apps
The first stages of most online products starts off with you developing a web based application and this is then the gives you a good underlying structure for any further development such as a native app.
Native apps are applications that are installed directly on to a device through the app store of that manufacturer (Google Play Store / Apple App Store). The user interface (design) is stored on the device and then any data is pulled from online to local storeage (this can be the same as the web application) to make a seamless and very snappy experience that users of the device are used to.
Once the native apps are developed they have to be submitted to the appropriate app store for that manufacturer, and they have to then review it and only when they are happy do they become available to download. This includes every time you do an update or re-develop the app.
If you have a developer already and just want a second opinion to help with certain decisions we can be hired for consultations, and we'll give you our professional opinion on what you should do.
