Which Platform You Need

Content Performance Device Features Animation Human Resource Investment (Past/Future)

Secondary Platform

Run on browser OR Translate to platform language

Secondary Platform

javascript, html, cssMore Easy then Objective-C, Java and C#

Navigation, Animation, Device Features, Offline, Security are weakness.

You need a strong Front-End engineer team.
