Just curious, what do you need a native app for? I ask because I'm usually suspicious of any company that has a native app when one isn't needed. I usually suspect they have some ulterior motive, spy ware, malware. Etc. Plus even if they don't have an ulterior motive installing a native app is one more vector for having my machine owned whereas a web site is not. (the browser might be a vector but it's a given I'm going to have one)
- jonesb6 11y agoI think native apps qualify as the offline-mode for a platform like evernote. I don't user evernote personally, but I do ride caltrain for ~2 hours every week day during which I try to be productive offline. For me that means having a local development database and usually some documentation for whatever I'm working on. I can easily see this meaning evernote native for a fervent note taker. Granted you could have a web app using local storage but that's unreliable at best and they already seem to have a problem with syncing..
