I will be working on an iOS app shortly and am curious about Trigger.io. Parse looks like something I would definitely be able to use, but Trigger.io and the like make me uneasy. I don't want a crappy user experience.
So, has anyone created an app with Trigger that can be compared to or is indistinguishable from a native application (i.e. not HTML wrapped in a UIWebView)?
There's one downside that's pretty severe: it's impossible to write native ui components (outside of the few they offer). We didn't care.

Trigger is a way to create an app that is HTML wrapped in a UIWebView (and has access to native camera apis, etc), so, no, nobody has ever created such an app.
So do you think it would be a good idea to use Trigger if: a) I needed an end result fast, and b) I am not creating a game?
I have not done practical iOS development before so I don't know what I will be missing or what I will need if I go with Trigger instead of a native iOS application.

EDIT: I speculate that he wants to answer privately, because he will say something negative about competitors. I think that's a bad practice - if you are willing to email a user a statement, you should be willing to make it in public.
But it's easy to switch between Phonegap and Trigger.io so you can try them both.
