Apps are usually 1.5 times faster than mobile websites and also they perform actions much faster. Applications store their data locally on your device., allowing data retrieval within the blink of an eye. In the case of mobi-sites, data must be fetched from the online servers which may take from a few seconds to a moment depending upon the network speed and packet sizes.

Another reason is, mobi-sites use JavaScript to run functions and apps run on frameworks which may be five times faster.

User-centric personalisation is very important in making their experience delightful. Personalisation may be based on a user’s interest, behaviours, location, culture etc. And mobile apps make it easier to cater personalized experiences.

Your mobile app can let users clearly define and set their preferences from the start, based on which they will be served customized content.
