I can give you a couple of pros. If you are interested in this topic, I suggest you read the article at http://www.thekickassentrepreneur.com/pros-and-cons-of-native-apps/ where you will find more information about the benefits of such applications. Better integration: native apps have access to operating system functions such as cameras, contacts, sensors, screen locks, etc. This provides better integration with other apps and a smoother experience. Offline operation: many native apps can run without an internet connection, which can be important for users in areas with poor network coverage or for apps that use a lot of data.
