Native apps are developed in the intended language and/or framework .Such as Java/Android studio for Android apps.

Hybrid apps are developed in another language or framework that is different than the intended language but works on the intended device such as phonegap apps that use HTML,CSS and Javascript to create Android appsThe Hybrid app code has to be translated in some way so Android phones can understand it.

The Native apps are dedicated to specific operating system and user will get these apps from specific store.

The Hybrid apps run on multiple operating system and are very consistent.

Native app ----This refers to app built for a specific operating system and can be accessed only from the dedicated app store.  Like android application  can only be accessed by Android users and is developed using Java, Windows, C++,XML etc. whereas app meant for ios applications using XCODE/Objective-C etc. This is a very expensive and very time consuming as complete development process happens for a specific app store at a time.

hybrid app----These are the latest HTML5 apps. The biggest advantage of developing hybrid app is consistent, cross platform UI that is compatible with most devices. This is less expensive app development method but cannot be used for every type of app.
