I downloaded the app (iOS) and even if I'd downloaded it thinking it was something I might use longer term rather than to evaluate the claims in the post, it would likely have been deleted within an hour. It fits broadly with my previous experiences of hybrid apps: - touch targets behave oddly - touches sometimes don't even register and you have to tap multiple times (e.g. moving between tabs, dismissing modals) - menus, scrolling and transitions don't feel right (the "physics" is all wrong) - reopening the app gave me the login screen and a spinner while it sorted itself out multiple times - I had to actually log in again once because it just appeared to forget the login info (within 10 minutes) - the UI in general lacked polish and felt clunky Honestly if this was a corporate form filling or inventory tracking app, the trade-off might be fine, but if you're trying to gain and retain users it's likely not good enough for anything but an early proof of concept. Maybe I'm just picky but it amazes me that someone could produce this (given how good we know things can be) and think it's good enough to justify a praise-filled blog post about the merits of hybrid apps.
