Subject: Are Progressive Web Apps worth it in 2025?
Considering building Progressive Web App instead of native mobile app. Are PWAs mature enough now or should I still go with native Android/iOS development? Main concern is performance and access to device features like camera, notifications etc.

PWAs have come long way and can access most device features now - camera, location, notifications, offline storage all work well. Performance is also good with modern frameworks. Main limitation is iOS support is still not 100% - some features dont work as well on iPhone compared to Android. If your audience is primarily Android, PWA is great choice. If lots of iOS users, consider native or hybrid approach

We built PWA for our product and very happy with decision. Development is much faster than maintaining separate Android and iOS apps. Single codebase, easier updates, no app store approval needed. Yes there are some limitations but for most business apps PWA capabilities are sufficient. Only go native if you need intensive graphics, complex device integrations, or want to be in app stores for discoverability.
