I built this as a companion to my web app http://TheWikiGame.com. Started it as an HTML5 app (using jQuery Mobile and Phonegap), but I abandoned them in favor of Objective-C, which turned out to be a choice I'm very happy with. Native scrolling was the single biggest thing that convinced me to go with Objective-C.

Out of curiosity, which frameworks did you try before going the native route?

Scrolling the only thing keeping you from a Sencha / Phonegap like approach?

I got pretty darn far with jQuery Mobile before I realized that I was going to just build something I wasn't proud of. I did really put a good effort into it though.

Jittery, slow, and inconsistent scrolling and page transitions were (sadly enough) the thing that made me just go with Objective-C.
