What Is a Native App?
A native app is built using the official tools and languages of a platform — such as Kotlin for Android or Swift for iOS — offering the best performance and offline capability.
Why SMEs choose native Android apps
- Fast performance
- Reliable offline functionality
- Better access to camera, GPS and sensors
- More stable for field teams
Many SMEs in London, Hertfordshire and Essex use native Android apps for inspections, deliveries, job logging and site reporting.
