Progressive web apps (PWA)
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) combine the best of websites and mobile apps, offering a fast, reliable, and engaging user experience without the complexities of using an app store.
A PWA looks and feels like a native mobile app that you download from an app store, can be installed on a device, work offline, send notifications, and have access to device capabilities.
Unlike a native mobile app, a single app can work across multiple platforms, with greatly reduced development costs, fewer support requirements, and less bureaucracy.
Key benefits of PWAs
Users can use a PWA even when they’re offline or have poor connectivity
Fast loading times due to caching assets and content within the app
PWAs can be installed on the user’s home screen and accessed just like a native app
Accessing a device’s technology such as camera, microphone and GPS
Skip the app store submission process. PWAs can be updated instantly and downloaded via a browser.
Works on all devices including Apple, Android and Microsoft on mobiles, tablets and desktops.
A single codebase results in reduced development and maintenance costs
Users can be notified of events directly on their phone’s lock screen
