  4. Freedom in Designing
    Mobile websites have to rely a lot on browsers to perform the most elementary function. It also depends on browser features such as address bar, refresh button and back button to work. Whereas mobile app doesn’t have any of these restrictions, because it can be designed with a lot of elaborate functions and features like swipe, tap, drag, hold, and more.
  5. New Branding Experience
    Mobile app has the liberty of offering new branding experience to the users and a company can build mobile app especially to transit a new brand style for themselves. Mobile app also allows users to customize its appearance and it can further help in the personalization front of the app.
  6. User Spends More Times on App

  7. New Stream of Conversions
    Mobile app can be a great medium to push users down the conversions funnel and it can be used to acquire both top of the funnel and bottom of the funnel users. Although utility apps can bring in the top of the funnel users that can be later natured into the bottom of the funnel users, whereas apps like e-commerce already have bottom of the funnel users that have a higher possibility of converting.

Mobile apps and mobile websites both are having their own advantages, but mobile apps help you to get a higher conversion and also offer operational efficiency, greater personalization, ease of use and convenience, and are increasingly becoming the preferred channel amongst all the digital mediums.
