What are the advantages and disadvantages of app development compared with website development?

Where the app is better than the website:

1. Faster browsing speed: the app does not need the browser to parse CSS, HTML and Javascript, but simply compensates for UI elements and small data requested by the user.

2. Simple local UI control: an image engineering problem that cannot be solved even though UI designers and programmers have racked their brains. Why can't we use a simple embedded UI control palette on portable devices? They can achieve the best performance optimization for specific equipment models.

3. More effective use of screen space: because developers must adapt to the flat screen on the mobile end and display the most important information in limited space, they have no spare time to add a lot of irrelevant music or flashy luxury design, and only display the most important information.

4. Users work well on the road or offline: in the mobile development world, developers cannot assume that users always have a super fast, completely trusted network connection. So before starting to create an app, we must first design the display of only the data we need to download, and also have some reliable strategies to load some content and pictures when users access the network. This assumes that the user can access the network. Of course, some offline modes must be added to adapt to the situation when the user is on the road or has no network connection.

（APP）

The website is stronger than the app:

1. Running on the browser: the website is the most popular application closest to the software world. If users have a browser that supports HTML5, they can run the app on their computer, and only need to visit a connection. This is the way that everyone has access to the Internet since 1995. So there is no need to pray for a special development community to migrate all the desired apps to the browser.

2. No need to install: App applications, unlike websites, cannot be accessed at will. It must be installed in advance. Even if the installation process is simple, users still want to preview what the application looks like before installation, because once installed, users will have to manage a large number of app applications according to the icon.

3. No need to upgrade: the website can not limit the version, but the app installed on the device needs to be upgraded again and again (improve the function or fix the bug, etc.) How can users know when the app is outdated and needs to be upgraded? And why should we pay attention to this problem? The website has no such trouble.
