This was my thought too. A lot of the times I suggest doing a hybrid app for the MVP. It is an easier and more affordable way of getting a functional and decent looking app to market. Allows the client to test and fine tune more easily. Oftentimes after launch they stick with the hybrid app because it gives them enough of what they need. Other times they decide to proceed to native but now have a much better idea on what they really need/want and saved tons of money in the process.
