A real native app practically always has better performance than web apps. And your data is on your machine. And it can integrate with the operating system. And you can do work offline. And performance saves battery.
A web app is almost never better.

- carlosjobim 2mo agoWith a native app your data can be on your machine (or not, or both). With a web app it can't be on your machine. > Plus the privacy invading abilities of native are much higher Your privacy is already completely invaded if your data is in the cloud, as it has to be with web apps.
- dspillett 2mo agoTrue for genuine native apps, but most apps these days are just wrappers around web apps so you get none of the benefits of a true native app while also losing some of the benefits of a web app.
