Since its inception, HTML5 has played a crucial role in shaping the future of mobile; renowned companies such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Xero are some of the examples that got a lot of attention via HTML5. However, from the last year many of such companies switched from their existing HTML5 apps and started again with native applications. The reasons behind this shift is mainly that these hybrid applications are not as swift, dependable or flawless as native applications.

There are mainly three types of web applications: traditional, responsive and adaptive. Traditional web applications comprise any website. A responsive web application displays different design when it’s used on a mobile device like phone or tablet, transforming its design to suit the device it is viewed on.
