Hybrid Mobile Apps in the Real World

Nowadays most people have heard about hybrid mobile app frameworks and their advantages. There are so many of them and each promises everything you dreamed about for a cross-platform mobile applications development. The idea is nice and simple: hosting a web application inside of the user’s smartphone or tablet with the ability to have a single codebase, involve web developers, reduce costs, decrease time-to-market, and so on. However, we can see that most of the mobile applications are still native and platform specific. Why is that? Experienced developers (especially those who had a really hard time working with early hybrid applications) may notice that the real life cross-platform mobile app development process is far from perfect to make it a standard.

Resolving iPhone apps GPS accuracy problems

We have been creating mobile solutions for our customers for almost a decade. But with each project's experience come interesting challenges.

It turned out that in developing GPS-based mobile applications, the accuracy of the coordinates can vary. These inaccuracies appear on the screen as sudden jumps in a user's location on the map and are especially visible if the application is trying to plot a route that the user is traveling. These inaccuracies are the result of not discarding bad coordinate points and not detecting fluctuation of points in a route.
