What are hybrid apps?

Those apps that are equipped with a wrapper around the web view is known as a Hybrid app. This is native control that will facilitate the interaction with the web content.

Hybrid applications are web applications (or web pages) in the native browser, such as UIWebView in iOS and WebView in Android (not Safari or Chrome). Hybrid apps are developed using HTML, CSS and Javascript, and then wrapped in a native application using platforms like Cordova.
