(ii) WebApps or Responsive Mobile Applications:
Although they may not be considered mobile applications per se, they are mobile versions of desktop web pages, which automatically adapt to different device sizes. They run in the browsers of mobile devices, so they are independent of the operating systems where they are running.
They are developed in the normal web environments like Java, Javascript, HTML, PHP, etc. As it is not downloaded from the application stores, it is not noticed as a mobile App, but it has the advantage that it is developed at the same time as the main page of the company, the changes made in the web are reflected in the mobile one.
Logically the development of the website is more complex and takes more time, because mobile usability aspects must be considered for different screen sizes, to ensure that it is easy to navigate from different devices, whether desktop or mobile.
(iii) Native WebApps or Hybrid Mobile Applications:
They are developed like native applications, but have the particularity of running the WebApps or responsive versions of the web pages, within a mobile application environment made for iOS, Android, etc. The advantage of this option is that the application built natively for each mobile system is very simple to build, because you only need to run the WebApp. It would be the cheapest option in terms of being able to have a mobile app in the Google Apps or iTunes or AppStore.
There are also mobile applications that are developed only for purely informational purposes, for example to promote a specific event, so its design is purely graphic, no connection with central servers is needed and its cost is much lower than the other options.
Take advantage of the boom of mobile applications or Apps to promote your business, offering your products, sales and services. Or you can also use them to improve your internal processes of inventories, on-site information gathering, personnel control, etc.
