The proliferation of mobile technologies has brought about a unified communication sphere along with verse and modern experiences. These emerging technologies have intensified competition within the mobile communication industry. This competition has further led to some problems for the users as well as application developers. Developers are not able to access and modify mobile applications codes that operate on other platforms i.e. Native platform incompatibilities. In this study, we advance the academic notion of developing a hybrid mobile application into a practical perspective. The same code base for these application promises a simple yet timely approach to multiple platforms. The result of the study addresses the problems inherent with vendor specific platform dependency and parallel developer’s expertise. A hybrid mobile application was designed using emerging Ionic framework and leaflet to ensure its practicality on and roid, iOS and windows platforms. The need to adapt Ionic framework for developing hybrid mobile applications will offers simplicity and flexibility in user communication experience. It will be a potential to break the monopoly of native dominant technologies.
