Apps Android App or cross platform app?

[Maxibillion]

Hey guys

i am planning to create an Eventapp for an event i am planning.

The first step is to choose the best option between classic apps Andoid/iOS App (so two apps) and a cross platform app (like phone gap.com).

Since the app should provide various features (overview listed below) i am not sure which option i should choose.

Features:
• User registration / login / password forgotten
• Community functions such as user profiles / chat / user overview / meeting appointments
• Time Table of several workshops / speeches
• Stand overview (Map)
• Sponsors and Partners
• Votingprocess for several contests
• Voting of questions for Q & A sessions
• Matching-Process for users
• Indoor GPS navigation (optional)

Is it possible to get all these funcitons in a smooth crossplatform app?

Thanks for your help in advance.

If you develop a cross-platform app with Apache Cordova and web services with nodejs then there is a huge volume of software modules to build your app with, so most likely you will find code to help build the features you are looking for. For instance, you can make use of the extensive amount of available nodejs modules in the app through the browserify build tool. Another advantage in going with a cross-platform javascript app is that you have a choice of many front-end frameworks such as angular or reactjs to work with instead of having to build out separate front end interfaces with android or IOS sdk's.
