I did an app in Appcelerator Titanium. It was pretty decent. I had better luck than with phone gap, but that was about 2 years back. Nice thing about Titanium is that the UI is cross platform and everything is done in Javascriptâ¦well, I guess that last thing could be an issue also, but for the most part, as long as Iâm not dealing with the DOM, js isnât that painful to me.
