Capabilities and Performance

It is able to use key features of the smartphone e.g. the camera. The user can access the PWA using the browser which they have installed on their smartphone e.g. Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari or others and download the required content as and when they actually use the application, hence the name is progressive. It saves money as it is only developed once unlike traditional application which have to be developed separately for each platform. Also the PWA does not have to be submitted and approved for online application stores which increase its viability. With the growing personal data of people even a small fraction of internal memory becomes a major issue, the best part of having a PWA instead of an application is takes up a very tiny piece of internal memory when compared to the traditional application. In a PWA a simple shortcut can be added to the home screen which makes the experience of a PWA very similar to the experience of a traditional application.
