iOS and Android are the leaders in mobile applications, followed by Microsoft. Most organizations focus on developing apps for iOS and Android first and target the remaining platforms when they catch up. This is due to the large user base for Android and iOS in the global market, both hovering around 75.85% and 22.87% respectively.

Can function without an internet connection

Disadvantages:

More expensive to develop compared to web apps

Advantages:

No need to be downloaded or installed

web applications run in the browser

Easy to maintain – they have a common code base regardless of the mobile platform

Will update themselves
