Ask HN: Best/worst mobile app dev experiences?

Posted by bbsliik on Thursday January 19, 2012 @01:45AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm looking to develop apps for both iOS and Android over the next few months. Coming from web dev, I was tempted to go with frameworks like PhoneGap until a few friends strongly recommended going native.

Now I'm considering hiring contract developers from both worlds, but not without a dose of HN wisdom.

So... what was your best/worst experience developing a mobile app?

Depends on the app. I personally developed a dozen native mobile apps, and I wouldn't have done it any other way -- but that's because of the nature of the apps I created.

Why is phonegap not a good option?
