I don't believe so. My opinion is that well optimized hybrid apps can often compete with the quality of native apps. It is not easy crafting a good hybrid app, and few good ones exist. Many of the low quality hybrid apps have given hybrid apps a bad reputation. Ember + cordova can be a good toolset for creating good hybrid apps.
- dbbk 10y agoWhich one is it? "Hybrid apps can often compete", or "few good ones exist"?
- mrinterweb 10y agoLOL. I can see how that could be confusing. In theory a hybrid app could compete, if it was written well; yet, there are plenty of bad hybrid apps that give hybrid apps a bad name. I think it is a matter of effort that developers are willing to put into making a hybrid app. With a hybrid app, having good UI design is more of a challenge because they can not always leverage OS UI components, and when they try to mimic OS UI components, they never look quite right. With custom UI design, many users may never know if they are using a hybrid app or native. Obviously, hybrid apps are not an option for all types of apps, but I'd argue that hybrid is a viable option for many if not most types of apps. So long as the performance of the hybrid app is not noticeably slow to the end user, hybrid apps can be great apps.
