So, is this a RubyMotion app? (Asking because I'm curious, they recently released Android support in addition to iOS/OS X).

Regardless of whether or not you're using RubyMotion, would you like to share any comments or experiences about developing and releasing the app for both iOS and Android at the same time? I think it's remarkable, it seems like people pick either iOS or Android to launch. A lot of small iOS shops don't even build their Android versions in-house, they will contract the Android version out to an Android firm.

Great work on this app, I love it! Will try it out in the real world later today.



Picky Pint is native both ways. I've been making iOS apps professionally since 2011 (in a great consultancy that does native on both platforms in-house), so that part was straightforward. My co-founder and I both are software guys but we hadn't tried a native Android app before, and this was as good of an opportunity as any.

I'm pretty happy with how it came out!
