I'm writing an application in it at the moment, experimenting with Parse and it's been a great experience. You can use a mixture of both native controls and HTML5, see the NativeControls plugin. I'm using a native UITabBar and the UIWebView for the HTML5 / jQuery (native developers seem be building this way now anyway (FB etc)).

I just learned about NativeControls today. From what I saw, it only provides Toolbar and TabBar but doesn't do Navigation, for example, am I right?
UIActionSheet, UIStatusBar, UIToolBar and UITabBar I think. What are you looking for?
I'd love to be able to have a web view for the "content" of my app, but native navigation at the top, and native everything else basically.
I may have misunderstood, but can't you use the UIWebView (PhoneGap uses this by default for rendering) for HTML5/Cordova assets with the native UIToolBar at the top? (that's what I'm doing, but with UITabBar) Everything else can be done using native UIActionSheets.
What is Parse ? Do you have a URL ? thanks in advance !
