When properly developed, native apps work smoothly on devices using a specific operating system. Thus, one of the most significant advantages of native apps is access to all the device-specific features, including GPS, camera, gestures, accelerometer, compass, contacts, and notifications.

Unlike web applications, which depend on a browser and may lack support for features like notifications, complex gestures, or offline functionality, native apps can fully utilize device capabilities. They can also run seamlessly in the background and offline, providing a more reliable and integrated experience.

Additionally, native apps provide a better user experience consistent with the operating system and other apps. For instance, if you're an iOS user, you get used to specific native UI components and device-specific interactions. That's why native apps feel more familiar and allow users to complete tasks faster.
