If it's ready for release on Android then nothing is lost by releasing it now. In fact it might bring the dependency on Facebook into play faster and it's good to get to 'No' quickly. [1]
As a general observation, many successful apps have a website in addition to a presence in the app stores. So it makes sense to assume you'll be building a web page anyway. For an app like yours, it's probably easier to test and iterate core logic on a webpage than in a mobile device.
Whether it makes sense to build a web page at this point requires looking at the risk of the second dependency versus the cost of building a page and that's a business decision for your business.

I released the app in Play Store and made a Show HN too. If you can, please try it out and please share your thoughts. Thanks for your time.
1st dependency, dependency on mobile devices, yeah, I regret starting with the mobile app. Though this is a hybrid app, considering the time that I can spend on this and my pace, I might take nearly a month to make a web app. And now, I am not sure if I should go ahead and release the Android version, or work on the web app and release web app first. Any suggestions?
