HYBRID APPS

                 Hybrid apps are apps that are a combination of both native and web apps. Similar to the
                 native app, a hybrid app is developed for a specific platform and deployed on the app
                 store. You need to install the hybrid app before using it on your mobile. In this way, hybrid
                 apps become cross-platform which means that the same code can be run on multiple
                 platforms. This technique saves the development time and cost also. Hence, these apps
                 are more popular than native and web apps. Some examples
                 of  hybrid  apps  are  Instagram,  Gmail, and  X (formerly

                 known as Twitter).

                 Store and Apple App Store. These stores contain different types of apps which are further
                 categorised into various categories.



                      PURE       Currently, there are 32 app categories in the Google Play Store and 24 in the
                      FACT       Apple App Store.
