What is the difference between mobile native app and web app?

 Native app is one that is installed directly onto the smart

phone and can work, in most cases, with no internet connectivity depending on the nature of the app.

 _{Web app works with web browsers on the smart devices}

or desktops that requires either a cell signal or Wi-Fi to function. It has the fortune of being used on

multi-platform and devices with less maintenance, as simple as maintaining a web page. Change or add features

often or as frequently as needed, and arguably cheaper to develop and maintain.
