Sorry, I missed this response. If you want to chat about the app I am happy to do so, no charge for that. My email is in my profile. We don't work with Parse, but it seems like a viable solution. We generally write native apps for each platform without translators, although we have some shared libraries we generally use. This can be more expensive sometimes, but in the end the reduced number of issues and the app capability is vastly better being native. We have used xamarin a few times, but honestly we find a lot of times a hybrid application (like LinkedIn or Facebook) works better from our experience -- e.g. Native app with web services and html served from the server.
