comment My team has to build an app that requires a Facebook auth to enter a sweepstakes. At what stage should the authorization happen?
True, but I think the general idea of not bothering the user unless it is necessary stands. The two choices are, A) stop users from using the app until they sign up, or B) Let them use the app, and if they choose to enter the sweepstakes, let them do so. Similar to A) Stop users from buying products until they sign up or B) Let users buy things, and if they choose to sign up, let them.

comment Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps
I think the terminology is getting confusing here. PhoneGap apps must use a subclass of WebView on Android apps. Otherwise there is no place to run the javascript that PhoneGap requires.

comment Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps
@JohnGB Not according to the UX SE tag: "A web app is an application that uses technologies such as Javascript, CSS, and HTML5 and is executed in a web browser. Developers release their applications as web apps because of the larger flexibility of the format. The application can be run directly from a website, or, if it uses the HTML 5 Offline Application Cache and Web Storage, can be downloaded and installed locally, for offline use"

@JohnGB Many PhoneGap apps have the HTML and JS files stored locally in the app file (.apk for Android) and the WebView loads them from local storage.

@JohnGB phonegap.com/blog/2013/01/18/… It's an HTML game that was made into a "mobile web-app". I haven't played it but I assume an internet connection is not necessary.

Your issue 4 under UX issues is not always true. A web-app in this case simply means running using javascript and HTML, not necessarily that it requires the internet. You may develop a web-app if you already know Javascript and HTML and you don't want to learn Objective-C or Java, for example.

comment Is shaking a device to refresh an accepted behavior?
I will say that pulling down to refresh seems to really be only an option on a ListView. It doesn't make sense in say, a weather app which just has some graphics and text rather than a list of information to scroll.

Yeah, I didn't remember the shake to undo feature of iPhones. Good point.

I ended up using a refresh button. It didn't take up any extra space since it was inline with the header text.

Why, it seems right to me. And it's what every major website does.
