Creating a product review app, whats best option

Hello I just wanted to get an opinion from some more skilled programmers. I am creating an app where users can write and read comments regarding certain products. What is the best option to do this? Like should I create a webpage then implement a web view?

Or is there another way I can create this. Like have a comment box where a user can add a comment and below that he/she is able to see other users postings. This I know information would have to be stored and pulled from a database.

What option would be more efficient and user friendly? And if anyone has good links for tutorials on the option you suggest that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can do it by two ways,

Creating app means you really create an app which displays data from remote server. No webview integration.In this user will have more app like feeling.This is more time consuming also.You also need to write web services to pull and push data from server.


And second display them in webview. this will serve two purpose. You will have an app too and also the same thing will be able to see from browsers also. For this you need to write html pages which supports all browsers.


Choice is yours now
