Accessibility

A native app is totally compatible with the device’s hardware and native features, such as accelerometer, camera and so on.

Web apps, on the other hand, can access only a limited amount of a device’s native features.

Software Development Process

Each mobile platform that the native app is developed for, stipulates its own unique development process. In the case of Web apps running on a mobile device’s Web browser, the problem that arises is that each of these mobile devices have unique features and come with their unique problems as well.

Efficiency

They are faster and more efficient, as they work in accordance with the mobile device they are developed for. Also, they are assured of quality, as users can access them only via app stores online.

Building native applications means using the native language of the platform, Objective-C on iOS, and Java on Android. The main advantage of native applications is their performance. Native apps are compiled into machine code (Dalvik byte code under Android), which gives the best performance you can get from the mobile phone.

Best performance includes fast and fluid animations as well as full access to phone hardware, multi touch support and the latest APIs.

Therefore,using web based web development is relatively more easier than native but in terms of performance,speed and efficiency native is more preferred.
