So, this article will help you to figure out the types of mobile apps and which app suits best for your problem. 

The four common types of mobile apps are- native, hybrid, web, and progressive web apps. In the end, I have also discussed the top 5 future trends of the mobile app that are going to change the world.

1.  Native Apps
These apps are designed or built for a specific operating system. They work on a particular operating system, either Android or iOS.

Thus, it is safe to consider HTML5 as the technology of choice for developing mobile web apps.

3.  Hybrid Apps
These are the mixture of native and mobile web apps. They have the feature of both native and mobile web app and can be installed in the device. Mobile App Development Company USA has a specialization in developing hybrid apps.
