A hybrid app combines web technologies—such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—with native mobile components, packaged in a wrapper like React Native, Ionic, or Flutter. This approach allows apps to run on multiple platforms (iOS, Android) using a single codebase. Hybrid apps balance performance with development efficiency, enabling faster releases and easier maintenance compared to fully native applications.
