If you are about to start your journey into HTML5/Hybrid app development but are a little confused about how good hybrid apps can get, then read on.
HTML5 apps have a relatively bad reputation as compared to native Apps. One of the main reasons for this is because it is amazingly easy to create crappy HTML5 apps even without knowing it… I was once guilty of this.
Another reason is that some hybrid app developers are from a Web Design/Development background so they tend to develop apps just the way they would for a standard website forgetting the fact that mobile apps run on devices with relatively low hardware configurations. This means using some things like unnecessary Javascript animations would absolutely be inappropriate for a Hybrid App.
So below is a list of some pretty cool HTML5 apps/games for your inspiration
- Brick Breaker Bold for BlackBerry10 – I didn’t believe this game was actually created with HTML5 until a BlackBerry Development Advisor confirmed it
- BlackBerry10 Browser – I still find it difficult to believe that the BlackBerry10 native browser was built with HTML5 even though it has been confirmed from a BlackBerry source.
- ViceVersa
- Walk2view
- GT Bank Mobile App
- Tic Tac Toe – This game is really amazing
- Summon
- Love Sms Collection – I personally developed this app, and I know there is still room for improvement
- Pin Pals – Meet your next date – This app can also be greatly improved on but it still deserves to be on this list.
This list would be updated from time to time. If you see a Hybrid App and you feel it should be on this list, feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll take a look.
