A hybrid app combines features of both native and web applications. Like a native app, a hybrid app can be distributed on the app store and can have operating system features, while it can also use cross-compatible web technologies. The biggest advantage of developing hybrid apps is that you can build apps on a single codebase. This means you can add new functionalities to multiple versions of your app. With native apps, you will have to rewrite or replicate every new feature you want to introduce for each platform.
