If the users for your business and they are frequent visitors and may visit your app say more than  5 times a day and you are providing a lag-free service to them, it is wise to go for a mobile app than a website.

Websites do get slow due to load or poor internet connection or maybe the browser gets slow and also the user doesn’t gets push notifications.The whole point is to keep it faster, convenient and up to date.

On the other hand, mobile app will provide you with of these options because it will have some offline features to give ease of access to the user even with a poor internet connection. Also, you can get your app customized to give push notifications which keep the user engaged thus this will amplify the user visits to the app.

3: Access to native apps

In this era, we are using HTML5 for website apps so that they can use the native features like  Gyroscope, Camera, and Sensors although we are still missing the important factor - “The Notifications”.

Geo-targeted push notifications in nowadays app  and also in-app notifications are an important aspect for the  survival of the apps that are being made now also, on the user’s device for long in today’s app world. So, the winner here is a mobile application.

4: Speed For your business
