So you’ve decided that mobile is important for your product but now you’re faced with the choice between whether to build a native app, build a mobile web app or make your existing web app more responsive. Sometimes it’s a straightforward decision, sometimes you have the luxury of just doing both in parallel, and other times it’s important to carefully evaluate the different factors that push you one way or the other.
