App Development
Koombea: A Hybrid App Development Company
At Koombea, we have been building world-class software for over a decade. Hybrid mobile app development is a big part of our mobile app development services. Our hybrid app developers are well-versed in web and native app development. If you want a hybrid app that thoroughly utilizes native features, you need a development team that has experience building native apps.
Hybrid apps are built on web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, using development frameworks to build native components. Since the development team at Koombea also makes native apps, we are well-positioned to use development frameworks like React Native to create hybrid apps that feel native.
Our dedicated mobile app development team will get to know the ins and outs of your business. We will help you determine which development strategy is most aligned with your needs and business goals. Many companies find that hybrid app development meets their needs, exceeds their performance expectations, and is often more cost-effective than alternative options.
Hybrid mobile app development might not be the best choice for every business, but you don’t have to make that decision alone. At Koombea, we will help guide you through all of your mobile app development options and help you land on the decision that best serves your business interests. We pride ourselves on our partner approach to app development. Build a hybrid app for your business with an experienced partner that will take the time to get to know what makes your team unique.
The Benefits of Hybrid App Development
Before deciding if hybrid app development is the right choice for your business, you must understand the associated benefits. Hybrid apps offer unique advantages for companies interested in pursuing custom mobile app development services. While every project is unique, hybrid app development provides the following benefits:
Cross-Platform
The primary benefit of hybrid app development is having a digital product that can be used on all mobile operating systems. The two major mobile platforms are iOS and Android, although hybrid apps will work on the less popular Windows OS too. There are several reasons why cross-platform apps are beneficial to businesses, but the main selling point is reach.
Anyone with a smartphone can use a hybrid app. On the other hand, native apps are limited to one specific operating system. Most businesses want to reach as many potential users as possible with their mobile apps. Hybrid mobile apps provide one of the best opportunities to reach the largest number of users without developing multiple native apps.
At Koombea, we can build you a stunning hybrid app that runs on all of the most popular mobile devices. Our hybrid apps have such rich User Interface and design elements that you will swear they are native.
Cost-Effective
As an experienced mobile app development company, we understand how the development price affects the business decisions you make. App development is by no means an inexpensive service, but many businesses find hybrid app development is one of the most cost-effective development options. There are two reasons why hybrid apps are more cost-effective on average than native apps.
First, hybrid apps are built mainly on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which are core web technologies. These core web technologies are some of the first languages most developers learn. As a result, there are more skilled developers that are fluent in these technologies than there are in Swift or Kotlin, the native languages of iOS and Android. Since there is a greater supply of skilled developers, the cost to develop a hybrid app is lower.
Second, hybrid apps only need to be coded once. If your business wants to reach both iOS and Android users, you will have to develop two native apps. Developing two apps costs more money than developing one app.
Developing a single native app will likely cost more than developing a hybrid app due to the specialized skill required for native app development. However, every app development project is different. Therefore, if you are only interested in developing an app for one platform, exploring the price differences between native and hybrid app development would be beneficial.
Time Efficient
Like any skilled service, the cost of app development depends on the amount of time it takes to complete the project. However, hybrid app development requires less labor time than native app development. There are a few reasons for this. First, hybrid app developers only need to write one app instead of two. Plus, hybrid apps are built using core web technologies and frameworks, which expedites the entire app development process.
Beyond cost savings, being time-efficient has other benefits that we like to share with our partners. For example, a shorter development time means getting your product out to market faster. Sometimes being the first to market gives your business a competitive edge that can’t be matched. Shorter development times are also beneficial for businesses trying to validate their ideas.
At Koombea, many of our partners are early-stage startups. At the earliest stages of your business, creating an MVP that requires less development time than a fully developed product is more beneficial. With an MVP, your business can quickly validate ideas and make changes. Hybrid apps are better suited for MVP development than native apps.
Simple to Maintain
If your mobile app is successful, maintenance will represent your company’s largest expense. Hybrid apps are easier and cheaper to maintain than alternative options. Why is that? Hybrid apps are built on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Maintaining this codebase is far simpler than maintaining a Swift or Kotlin codebase.
Plus, when operating systems get updated, which happens multiple times a year, native apps must also be updated to a new version. However, hybrid apps don’t have to be updated every time Apple or Google releases a new version of their operating systems. This makes maintaining a hybrid app simpler and cheaper than a native application.

Hybrid App Modernization
Technology advances rapidly. The hybrid app you built five years ago could probably be modernized to take advantage of the latest native features and development frameworks. But unfortunately, many companies don’t realize that they can modernize their apps instead of settling for outdated capabilities or rebuilding.
When it is time for your business to update its hybrid app, Koombea is here to help you upgrade to the latest frameworks. The newest smartphones are capable of so much more than they were capable of even two years ago. Hybrid app development frameworks keep pace with the latest mobile technology. Our team of hybrid app developers will help convert your existing app into a new hybrid app capable of leveraging the latest device features from Apple and Google.
Don’t fall behind the times. Outdated apps will quickly be abandoned in favor of applications that can utilize the latest technologies. Koombea is here to help your business salvage its current hybrid app and modernize its capabilities.
Bug and Error Fixes
Do you have a hybrid app that keeps getting rejected from the app stores? Do you have an app that consistently delivers a poor User Experience because of bugs and other errors? Koombea is here to help your company fix the errors and bugs plaguing your hybrid app.
Our skilled developers will thoroughly review your code, find all errors, and make the necessary adjustments to deliver a flawless User Experience. Even if we didn’t build your hybrid app, our team could help you fix it. So don’t settle for an error-prone application. Fixing these errors and bugs can have a significant impact on your business.
Security
Digital security is a critical concern today. Hybrid apps with poor security standards are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data breaches. Security issues affect your organization’s ability to conduct its business, and they also damage your brand image and hurt your company’s reputation. Everyone needs to take security seriously if they have a digital product like an application or website.
At Koombea, we take security seriously. Security is a vital part of our hybrid app development process, but even if we didn’t build your app, we could help you take the security measures necessary to protect it. Our security experts will help design and implement a robust security architecture that combines high-level data encryption with the latest security technologies and techniques.
Maintenance and Support
All apps need ongoing maintenance and support services. At Koombea, we are excited to offer our partners a comprehensive maintenance and support service package that actively monitors app performance levels and makes adjustments as needed. We understand how important it is to maintain performance and service levels. Don’t let the quality of your hybrid app slip as it ages.
Even if our skilled app development team didn’t build your hybrid app, we could still help you maintain it as issues arise. Keep your app up and running at all times. Let Koombea handle the maintenance and support needs of your organization’s hybrid app.
