work on any mobile device.These apps are easy to develop.Single code base for all
platforms ensures low-cost maintenance and smooth updates.

Some Languages used to develop Hybrid apps are .. HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, and
similar programming languages.

Advantages of Hybrid apps:

1. Easy to develop.
2. Less cost of production when compared to native apps.
