That's true. It doesn't exactly "compile to Objective C." But it's an easy way for people to understand the basic concept. The performance is much closer to full native than full HTML5.

Yeah, I figured. Just wanted to say something since a person or two was saying that they were surprised it compiled to Objective C. Congrats on getting your app out the door -- at the end of the day, every product has different needs, and shipping a quality app that fits your customer's needs is the most important thing.
