Nowadays mobile applications are a must-be thing in most businesses. The first step to creating an app is to choose a development approach, which would be productive, functional, and, of course, cost-effective. So, we are here to simplify your choice by considering a few popular development options (Native vs. Hybrid vs. Cross-Platform).
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Native Apps</h2>
The term refers to the creation of a mobile application exclusively for a single platform (Android or iOS). The development process is built on using programming languages recommended by the creators of the operating systems (Java or Kotlin for Android and Swift/Objective-C for iOS).
Pros of native app development:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Advanced functionality. Your developers get full access to OS&rsquo;s features (API and tools) and are able to create a secured and user-friendly application with powerful performance;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Better store support. Publishing such apps to the App Store or Play Market is much easier. Moreover, native products are usually ranked higher on these platforms;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&zwj;High performance and great UX. The interaction between software and hardware is easy and provides users with great performance. Furthermore, clients get a better user experience because native apps primarily have excellent interfaces and appearance (it is achieved through the use of Native UI).&nbsp;
</li>
</ul>
Unfortunately, sometimes it is impossible to take advantage of the Native approach due to its costs: you have to hire iOS and Android developers if planning to launch an app on both of these OS.
All cons:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Costly. Hiring iOS and Android developers is expensive;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
&zwj;Time Consuming. Developing takes a lot of time because two teams of developers have to work independently. Alas, code reuse is not possible;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Complex application support (you can't opt out of both development teams).&nbsp;&nbsp;
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Hybrid App Development</h2>
The Hybrid approach is known as a cheaper option, which allows building an iOS and Android app simultaneously and in less time. The codebase includes the code lines written in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other languages. Then they are wrapped into a native container: the WebView or Crosswalk. The WebView is responsible for user experience and the interaction with hardware (cameras, GPS, etc.). Therefore, there are some limitations and restrictions related to the functionality and user interface. The rendering engine is a browser that slows down the system.
The pros are obvious:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Lower development costs;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Supporting different OSs at the same time (code reuse);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Adequate customization capabilities.
</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Lower performance (however, users won&rsquo;t struggle);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Inability to use certain operating system&rsquo;s functions;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Lack of interaction with native applications.
</li>
</ul>
The Hybrid approach may be really useful if your priority is development speed and cost reduction: it allows you to present your own application in the shortest possible time.
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Cross-platform Applications</h2>
First of all, you should know that Hybrid and Cross-platform options are not the same things. The only similarity is code compatibility. So, the cross-platform dev approach implies the use of JavaScript language. Then the codebase is connected to native components with the help of special bridges.
The user experience and performance are close to native apps. The cross-platform development method offers seamless functionality, easy implementation, and cost-effective production. However, close-to-native UX is not native UX, you shouldn&rsquo;t expect something outstanding.
The cross-platform approach uses different frameworks, so the functionality and performance depend on them.
Pros:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Developers write code just once and use it for all platforms;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Cross-platform applications are secure, stable, and easy to maintain and scale;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
There are many frameworks, which help to achieve the native app-like quality;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Such apps feature a fast UI (is similar to Native);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Development is cost-effective.
</li>
</ul>
Cons:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Cross-platform applications are not as fast as Native ones;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Not all OS features are available;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Poor interaction with other native apps.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Let&rsquo;s Summarize</h2>
Before choosing a certain option, you should determine your goals, budget, and deadline.
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
A Native application is perfect if you have enough financial resources and time, and wish to create a wonderful solution. Maybe, you are planning to launch an app only for one platform that will save your money. You&rsquo;ll be able to develop another version of the app later.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
A Hybrid application is a good option if you are running a startup. In this case, you need a budget solution to create an app for both iOS and Android operating systems at the same time.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Cross-platform development is ideal if your business requires a high-quality application, which would work on multiple operating systems. This approach may save your budget. It is a golden mean between the above options, so you shouldn&rsquo;t worry about performance and UX. Moreover, after a while, you can switch on the Native approach.
</li>
</ol>
Below we have given a more detailed comparison of Native, Hybrid, and Cross-Platform approaches.

If your app doesn&rsquo;t have specific features, you can save your company&rsquo;s budget by giving preference to the Hybrid or Cross-Platform approach. Games, B2B, and content distribution apps are usually cross-platform.
In order to choose a suitable option, you should define:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
your target audience;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
the level of complexity of the app&rsquo;s functionality;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
whether you need native functionalities or not (features of devices and OS);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
the UI/UX level.
</li>
</ul>

Uber is one of the startups, which managed to totally change the taxi market. Nowadays all you need to order a car is to select two points on the map of the mobile app (where you are now and you move to) and wait for several minutes. There are no calls anymore, talks with dispatchers, and attempts to explain where you are standing.&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s consider Uber&rsquo;s model and useful features of the Uber app. It is going to be helpful if you are planning to launch your taxi application.
<h2 dir="ltr">How Uber works</h2>
The company has become popular thanks to its mobile app and business model.&nbsp; Uber&rsquo;s application uses GPS to see your location. Then you just have to choose your destination. After that, all drivers around you get a notification, and the nearest one sends a response. It takes about a few minutes until the car arrives. Thus, you can count on Uber at any time. This model of work is called &ldquo;on-demand&rdquo;.
It is worth mentioning that Uber is not a traditional taxi company. It is just an intermediary between the passenger and driver. As you can see, such a system is working really well. In view of the fact that the taxi market is growing, it makes sense to run Uber-like apps.
Being only an intermediary allows solving a number of problems. A good example is a car accident. In such a situation, Uber avoids liability: it does not provide assistance and pay damages. Uber&rsquo;s work mainly lies in app support and creating rules for passengers and drivers. However, of course, Uber could not neglect safety, so it cooperates with insurance companies.
At the end of your ride, you are able to pay easily for taxi services by credit card and estimate the level of comfort. Every client sees the driver&rsquo;s rating and decides whether to go with him or not.
<h2 dir="ltr">The story of success</h2>
The Uber service is present in more than 76 countries and 900 cities worldwide. It took a while to reach such a remarkable result. Two founders, Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick, already had experience in doing businesses, so they knew how to avoid some mistakes creating an Uber startup.
The story began in 2008 when Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick tried to catch a taxi on a winter evening but to no avail. They decided to launch their own product. The market&rsquo;s problems were clear and it was necessary to solve them.&nbsp;
The first version of the Uber app was presented in 2009. In 2010, the founders got the first client from San Francisco. In 2011 Uber started the international &ldquo;occupation&rdquo; in France using mainly investors&rsquo; money. Soon Uber was working in 100 cities.
Today the company, besides taxi, provides the following services:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Uber Eats (food delivery);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Uber Freight (cargo transportation);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Uber Shuttle (rides on buses);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberMoto (motorcycle rides);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberBike;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberBoat and others.
</li>
</ul>
A simple guide to using Uber
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Open the mobile application or use Uber&rsquo;s website (<a href="https://www.uber.com/ua/en/ride/">https://www.uber.com/us/en/ride/</a>).&nbsp;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Input the data where you are going to in the &ldquo;Where to?&rdquo; box.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Select the type of vehicle and get acquainted with the ride price (fares are ultimate).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Select a payment method (in cash or by credit card).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Tap the Confirm button.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Make sure that your GPS works correctly because the pickup spot depends on it.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
When the driver picks you up and confirms the ride, you are able to follow the road on the map in the mobile application. You can share with others your location at any moment. It is one of the useful features of the Uber app.
</li>
</ol>
Today Uber has ten types of vehicles:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberX (a standard option for everyday trips, the maximum is three riders);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Comfort (with top-rated drivers);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Exes (premium, high-end cars);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberXL (up to five passengers);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberBLACK (luxury sedan, three people is maximum);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberTAXI (a partner taxi cab, which can accommodate three riders);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberSUV (up to five passengers);
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberLUX;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
UberPOOL to share your trip with other people, the fare splits automatically;
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Assist (a person with disabilities gets an UberX car and a personal assistant).
</li>
</ul>
There is an option to cancel the booked trip but keep in mind that sometimes it is not free (if more than five minutes have passed). The amount depends on the city.
After your ride, the system will ask you to rate the driver from one to five stars. The rating influences the driver&rsquo;s revenue.
<h2 dir="ltr">Uber app features</h2>
Uber&rsquo;s application is the main reason why the company has become so popular and showed a surge. It is important to analyze the app&rsquo;s particularities, besides the opportunity to order a taxi.
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Trying to find the cheapest way to get home at peak hours. Perhaps, you have noticed the price increase at busy times.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
All actions in a few taps. The interface of the Uber app is user-friendly and convenient. You can easily add your home or work address to it and then every time just substitute them in the &ldquo;Where to&rdquo; form when ordering a car.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Online tracking. Are you sending your child on a trip and want to be sure that everything will be fine? Then add your contacts to the child&rsquo;s Uber account (the section &ldquo;Trusted Contacts&rdquo;). Thanks to that, you will be able to see the movement of your kid on the map. Keep in mind this feature for uber-like app development. Passengers are willing to pay more if they are confident in their own safety.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Instant payments and fares splitting. The modern world is refusing cash, so just add your credit card to the Uber app and make payments easily. If you are not traveling alone, split up the fare with your fellows in several taps.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Verifying your trips. Did it happen that you accidentally mixed up the car? Uber offers pin verification. You are going to have a unique pin code every time you are getting into a taxi to make sure it is the right car.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Scheduled rides. Organize your weeks or even a month. You are able to order a taxi up to 30 days in advance.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Multiple drop-offs. Just tap on &ldquo;Add a Stop&rdquo; to pick up your friends. You can do it even during your ride. Change or delete the destinations at your discretion.
</li>
</ol>
If you are planning to launch your own taxi product, some of these features for uber-like app development are compulsory. The current situation is like there are many taxi companies with good mobile applications but they cannot cover the needs of all citizens. Uber has increased the number of drivers from two billion to three billion between 2017 and 2018. Unfortunately, that number wasn&rsquo;t enough, given the outflow of more than 450 thousand drivers every month. The situation came off worse during the quarantine when people couldn&rsquo;t order cheap cars.

Blockchain has become a paradigm shift that changes the operations of different industries. Nevertheless, like any other disruptive technology, a lot of myths and misconceptions have appeared. We should differentiate between fact and fiction to use blockchain technology effectively and responsibly. We can better understand what blockchain is (and isn&rsquo;t), how it functions, and the varied applications it holds besides cryptocurrencies by clarifying these misconceptions.

<h2 dir="ltr" role="presentation">&nbsp;Myth 1: Blockchain and Bitcoin Are the Same</h2>
Among the most common myths about blockchain technology is the confusion between the blockchain and Bitcoin. Blockchain and Bitcoin were created simultaneously, so they are widely believed to be the same thing. However, we must understand that blockchain is a much broader term. It is the technology that created Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is indeed the first and most famous application of this technology, equating the two is like saying that Google is the Internet.
Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology (DLT) that records transactions across multiple computers so that the records cannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the consensus of the network.
This makes blockchain a naturally secure and transparent method of data and transaction recording.&nbsp;
Bitcoin is a type of digital currency based on blockchain technology and used for secure, anonymous, and decentralized financial transactions. The blockchain of Bitcoin acts as a public ledger for all the transactions in the Bitcoin network, thus, it is possible to transfer digital currency securely without the use of intermediaries like banks or governments.&nbsp;
Blockchain technology can be much broader than purely financial transactions. It can be used in different industries with various aims. Nowadays, many businesses are studying how blockchain can improve their operations (read more about <a href="https://agilie.com/blog/enterprise-blockchain-development-how-businesses-derive-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enterprise blockchain development</a> and <a href="https://agilie.com/blog/enterprise-blockchain-development-how-businesses-derive-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enterprise-grade blockchain development</a>).

Here are a few examples:
Healthcare: Blockchain can guarantee the safety of medical records storage and sharing. Thus, they are only available to authorized personnel and patients and lead to quicker diagnosis and treatment.​
Financial Services: Blockchain is a viable solution for international payments, real-time settlements, and improving transaction transparency and security.
Digital Identity:&nbsp; Blockchain can correct identity theft and fraud by adding digital identities that cannot be changed. For example, Estonia's e-Residency program is the first of its kind, a government-issued digital identity that allows entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world to operate and conduct business online in the EU.
Real Estate: Blockchain can simplify property transactions such as sales, leasing, and financing by reducing paperwork and improving transparency.

<h2 dir="ltr">Myth 2: Blockchain Transactions Are Always Anonymous</h2>
A frequent mistake people make about blockchain technology is that it is automatically anonymous to its users. However, the truth is more nuanced. Blockchain transactions are not strictly anonymous but pseudonymous.
Pseudonymity means that a user's identity is not directly tied to their blockchain transactions but rather to a digital pseudonym, typically a public key or a blockchain address. These addresses are like a sequence of letters and numbers, giving privacy but not total anonymity.
In contrast, anonymity would mean that the transactions are entirely disconnected from any identity, even a pseudonym, making them untraceable to the user. Blockchain does not usually provide this level of anonymity because the transaction history of each blockchain address is visible to anyone who accesses the blockchain.
Most blockchains are open ledgers, meaning that all transactions are visible to anyone who wishes to view them. This level of transparency ensures that while users' identities are not directly exposed, their transaction histories and patterns can be analyzed.<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">

While basic blockchain transactions offer pseudonymity, several enhancements and tools can increase privacy:
1. Mixing Services: Services like CoinJoin allow multiple users to combine their transactions into a single transaction with multiple inputs and outputs. This mixing blurs the traceability of any single coin, making it more difficult to link wallets with identities.
2. Privacy-Focused Cryptocurrencies: Some cryptocurrencies, like Monero and Zcash, are designed specifically to enhance privacy. Monero uses ring signatures and stealth addresses to hide the transactions&rsquo; origins, amounts, and destinations. Zcash allows users to shield transactions completely through its zk-SNARKs technology, which enables transactions to be verified without revealing the sender, receiver, or amount.
3. Use of Multiple Addresses: Users can increase their privacy by using multiple wallets or addresses, dispersing their transactions across several points, which makes it more challenging to link them to a single identity.

<h2 dir="ltr">Myth 3: Blockchains Are Unhackable</h2>
The idea that blockchains are completely unhackable is a frequently held misconception that can cause a dangerous level of complacency in security measures. While blockchain technology does offer robust security features, it is not immune to vulnerabilities. Knowing the security features employed and the situations in which breaches happen is very important for anyone who wants to use blockchain for their business.
Blockchain technology secures data through several mechanisms:
Cryptography: Every transaction on a blockchain is secured using cryptographic algorithms, which ensure that data can neither be altered nor read without the appropriate cryptographic key.
Decentralization: By distributing copies of the ledger across a network, blockchain reduces the risk of a single point of failure that could compromise the entire system.
Consensus Protocols: Blockchains use various consensus mechanisms, like Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS), to agree on the validity of transactions. These protocols prevent a malicious actor from changing even a single aspect of the blockchain.
<a class="incut--wrap" style="transition-delay: 0s;" href="https://agilie.com/expertise/fintech/blockchain-software" target="_blank" rel="noopener" aria-label="incut"><img style="height: 344px; width: 778px;" src="https://d3pxw3l8cozu05.cloudfront.net/images/f9e66e179b6747ae54108f82f8ade8b3c25d76fd30afde6c395822c530196169-1716281102044.png" width="100%" height="100%" />Learn more about our blockchain software development services.</a>
Despite these security measures, there are scenarios where blockchains can and have been compromised.
<h3 dir="ltr">Scenarios Under Which Breaches Have Occurred</h3>
51% Attacks: This type of attack happens when a single entity gains control of more than 50% of the network&rsquo;s mining hash rate or stake, allowing them to manipulate transactions and potentially double-spend coins.&nbsp;
Code Vulnerabilities: <a href="https://agilie.com/blog/secure-smart-contract-design-best-practices-in-solidity-programming" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart contracts</a>, which are self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code, can contain vulnerabilities. One of the most famous incidents is the DAO attack on the Ethereum network. Hackers exploited a vulnerability in the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) smart contract code to siphon off one-third of the DAO&rsquo;s funds.
Phishing and Social Engineering: End-user security is often the weakest link in a blockchain system. Phishing attacks can allow attackers access to blockchain assets, bypassing network security measures, to steal private keys or wallet credentials.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</h2>
The blockchain technology is often seen as highly popular and muddled at the same time.&nbsp; Falsified myths are only part of the misconceptions that can mislead such a fantastic technology.
