Just a little heads up: Google is still trying to convince everyone that web apps don't suck

Re: Web app? No thanks.

A web app is code (js/html/css) loaded from an internet endpoint.

A native app is code loaded from disk.

After that, both can make the same mistake and assume that a network is available when its not.

The advantage to a native app is the app can load even without a network. A web app *could* load without a network if it had loaded at least once with a network, but that's really up to the browser and the developers of the code.
