A mobile development company is always focussed on successful launch of app. But it may happen that your app does not get the response that you expected. The reasons behind the unexpected response are as follows:

For the successful launch of an app, only a good idea is not enough. To make a product successful it requires the perfect blend of a brilliant idea, a perfect strategy, good execution of the plan and a bit of luck.

Either the deadline is too unrealistic or you don’t have sufficient funds to fulfil your expectations. It may also happen that the app designers are not good enough to fulfil your expectation.

Mobile App Vs Website : Which One To Choose For Startup Organisation

app vs website

If you are planning to get your first step into digital world , then the very first question should arise in your mind is whether to go on with a website or a mobile application , or in case for both of them . Everyone want their business to be reached widely among customer who are actually searching for your business worldwide . And this is only possible by getting the website or mobile app developed to showcase your business easily to the whole world .

Which Is Difference Between Mobile Website & Mobile Application ?

Before any further discussing about the mobile responsive website and mobile app , lets first quickly understand the difference between the two . Both apps and website are accessed over the smartphones  and tablets.
Mobile responsive websites are combination of HTML pages that can be quickly accessible by visiting a web browser . It is specifically designed for smaller display and can be easily accessible from any kind of devices right from desktop to tablets and on mobile devices .
Whereas when talking about mobile app , they need to be specifically downloaded from the respective app stores to get the benefits of it . User have to visit device specific portal like google play store or apple app store and may experience different features of app on different devices and not like a common mobile responsive website which can be easily accessible from any tab or mobile browser and gives the same experience . App will also get the informative data and pictures from internet only , or it can later download the data to make it even use for offline purposes. .

Which One Is Better :  Mobile Responsive Website or Mobile App ?

Well the above question really depends on your requirement . For instance you want to offer your customer with gaming , then obviously you can’t offer this on a mobile responsive website . And if your business motive is only to offer customer an information , then mobile responsive website is best option for reaching our vide number of audience worldwide . And there might be a case when you will be requiring both mobile app and a website .

For for conclusion we can say , mobile website is just the begging in case you want to stay in the market, but in case you want to give some particular features or more enhanced experience you have to go with both of them .

It is the matter of fact that every one has a limited space in their smartphones , particularly in Apple devices so customer would rather love to have a first look at their web browsers only , and later on if they find it interesting , they can move on to downloading the app on app stores .

When Does An App Make Sense ?

Inspite of lots of benefits of mobile website , apps are making their way for specific use among consumers . Generally speaking , if you want one of the below given thing you will necessarily need mobile app :
  • Gaming : For thrilling gaming experience you will need an mobile app
  • Regular use / Personalisation :  If you are planning to target a specific user who are going to download your application to use it on regular basis .
  • Complex Calculation /Reporting :  If the app is all about calculation using numerous of formulas and daily reporting , then there is nothing better than mobile application .
  • Offline Use. : When you want to offer an offline functionality , then it is only possible by an mobile application that will not need an working internet connection .
  • Native Functionality Requirement : Now a days browser are getting more and more enhanced and is successfully gaining superpower , but when it comes to accessing camera’s or processing power , they fails .

In Conclusion

As the mobile app and website market continues to rise , the question arises above will always rise . From the above point both the version has their own pros and cons and hence that depends on your needs that which one you can prefer on .
