You want to serve customers on their phones, but is a store app really required? Often the answer is no; there are three paths depending on the need.
Three options
- Web app: runs in the browser, needs no installation and is updated on every device at once.
- PWA: a web app that can be added to the home screen; it opens fast and can offer notifications and offline use.
- Store app: full access to device features and visibility in the store; development and upkeep cost more.
How to decide
- How many times a day will users open it?
- Do you need the camera, Bluetooth or background tasks?
- What are the budget and time to launch?
- Does store visibility really make a difference?
Start with the simplest solution that solves the problem; add more as you grow.
