I am the founder of http://theicebreak.com

We have built our app ( Icebreak for Couples - http://itunes.apple.com/app/id476063944 ) using Titanium.

When we started building it, Titanium was very very buggy. It has since improved, but still has a lot of really basic stuff that is broken. Their forums have a lot of questions that have been unanswered for over an year.

Our reason for picking Titanium was basically to have an app that is just like a native app on both iPhone and Android without writing the code twice.

We have found out that porting a Titanium app to Android is taking a ton of effort, lot more than we originally thought. I would be curious to hear what the RAVN team has to say regarding their Android version.

Its just not as cross-platform as we thought :(. I would be extremely careful before picking it in the future.

Basically, if you build native apps:

Native App: iPhone=1X, Android=1X. If you want both Android and iPhone: 2X

Titanium App: iPhone=2X,Porting to Android: 0.7X. Total effort: 2.7X

Native Wins.
