With a bit of know-how, you can make virtually any website you see today into an app, or have one custom built by a web developer for a much cheaper price compared to a native app. Progressive Web Apps utilize built-in caching to make them load insanely quickly. This has the added benefit of them working offline. Notifications are easy to implement. There are some limitations, such as not all of a phone’s features can be accessed… yet. A rigorous process is involved in getting an app listed in either the App Store or Play Store.
