I´ve used Ionic for both mobile apps and PWA (web sites that access the device hardware).
It is pretty straightforward to do both in Ionic.
As a side comment, the other day I wanted to do a very simple single page "app" (I jog, so I wanted a "sonar" kind of app that told me how far to my target speed I am, constantly).
I thought I was going to give native Andriod Studio a try... as this was a very simple app and I was going to use GPS functionality, it sounded right. I was badly surprised by the way UIs are built in Android Studio, it is so fugly, it took me back to the AWT/Swing framework I worked with in the late 90s. After battling with the ConstraitLayouts and other bullshit, I went back to Ionic to do a simple HTML layout and had the app working in 1 hour.
I can't believe in 2019 that is the way Google is making people build interfaces in Android.
- xenospn 7y agoAndroid studio is awful. Moving from it to Xcode is like climbing to an open field out of a dank old basement.

- xtracto 7y agoI really want to understand it. It reminded me of my days migrating from the Vb5/6 UI to java swing. It was painful, but after you groked its logic, it made sense. How can I get to grok Android's Ui layout process?
