Apps can be categorized by the following: #1. Platform: Native apps run using the Android, iOS or Windows platform APIs. Cross-platform apps can run on multiple mobile OSs using frameworks like Cordova/Phonegap. #2. App store category: An app could be a game, a utility/tool, office related, communication, m-commerce, or a system app etc. #3. Privileges: Some system apps like backup utilities require root/superuser privileges. These are known as root apps. #4. Source code: Open-source apps make their source code freely available on public repositories like GitHub. However, an open-source app does not have to be free although most of them are. #5. Price: Apps can also be categorized as freeware, ad-supported, freemium (free but supports in-app purchases), trial/demo, paid (one-time charge) or subscription-based (recurring monthly/yearly fee) for a service. read less

I am trying to make an hybrid mobile app using javascript, html5, css3 but I am facing lot of challenges. If any one can help me, it would be a great help.
It's better idea to go with building in native android, hybrid will have to many dependency on libraries and its not good approach.
