What do you dislike?

It is very sad that Adobe has discontinued it and ended investment in PhoneGap. The website is no longer being updated, but the developer still can use their resources. Besides that, it won't support the hook plugins and it is not suitable for building gaming or native application.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

1. You don't need additional training for development

2. Allows development for multiple devices

3. Allows you to focus on functionality

4. Easy and Fast deployment

If you are focusing on PWAs or hybrid apps, PhoneGap is highly recommended for the beginner in mobile application development, as it using the HTML/ CSS & JS programming language, which is easier than creating a native mobile application.

- It is compatible with multiple platforms including iOS, Android & Windows by writing the code only once.

- Apps Developed on PhoneGap Behave Like Native Apps as It provide many native APIs such as camera, geolocation, accelerometer, contacts and all the other native features.

- Easier Deployment of Apps ad most important things is, It is Free!!
