Can you list the main types of mobile applications and their features?

Main types of mobile applications:

1. Native applications — created specifically for one platform (iOS, Android) using the respective languages and SDKs (Swift/Objective-C for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android). They provide maximum performance and access to device features.

2. Web applications — run in a browser, do not require installation. Limited by browser capabilities but are cross-platform.

3. Hybrid applications — combine web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) with native shells (e.g., via Cordova or Capacitor). They allow faster development but may lag in performance compared to native apps.

4. Cross-platform applications — created using frameworks (React Native, Flutter) that allow writing code once and running on different platforms with near-native performance.

Each type has its pros and cons; the choice depends on performance requirements, development time, and budget.
