Author of the course here: to users, the performance difference is not noticeable. If you look under the hood, sure, there are absolutely inefficiencies that happen. But a vast majority of the time it has no effect on the user experience, and that has been the dealbreaker with hybrid apps in the past. Browser rendering is now fast enough, and the frontend technologies robust enough, that developing and deploying hybrid apps can often be a much better experience than developing in native.
That said, React native looks awesome and I'm looking forward to using it - but it != death of Ionic/hybrid apps imho.
- clarle 12y agoTo users on high-end devices (latest iPhones, high-end Androids), the performance difference is extremely minimal. The second you go down to the low-end and mid-end devices, it's very obvious that a hybrid app has performance issues.
- ericmsimons 12y agoWhen we built Songhop (an Ionic powered app) and tested on 4S, the app performance was the same as other apps on the phone. Unless the phone isn't updated to the latest OS version, performance in webview will generally be similar to native apps.
