Native app is a software program that is developed for a specific device or platform. These apps are incorporated through app-defined gestures and standard or new operating system gestures. They can take full advantage of all device features including the GPS, camera, compass, contact list, the accelerometer, etc.
Hybrid Apps are partly based on both web and native applications. These apps can be downloaded from the platform's app store just like native apps. Also, hybrid apps are built using web technologies like HTML, Javascript, and CSS. In a nutshell, hybrid apps are the websites that are put into native apps to function and look alike.
