Interview Question - What are the difference between web app and mobile app?

Mobile App:

A Mobile App is an application developed essentially for a particular handset and it will be installed directly onto the device.


Web App:

Basically, Internet-enabled apps that are accessible via the mobile device’s Web browser.



Accessibility:

A mobile app is totally compatible with the device’s hardware and native features, such as the GPS, the accelerometer, the compass, the list of contacts, and so on.

On the other hand, Web app can access only a limited amount of the device’s native features.

Upgradability:

A web app is much more dynamic than a mobile app in terms of updating the content.

Efficiency:

Mobile apps are more expensive to develop. However, they are faster and more efficient. Users can access the app only via the app store.



Web apps may result in higher costs of maintenance across multiple platforms. Also, there is no specific authority to control the quality of these apps.

Reach:

A web app is accessible across platforms and can be easily shared among users, as well as search engines, it has considerably greater reach than a mobile app.

User Interface:

Both the mobile apps and the web apps look and work the same way with a very little difference (The choice and decision is up to you ðŸ˜Š)
