It's a bit tedious to make it work, but I truly hope to see more mobile Application in our ecosystem

Yea me too. But, we don't have any native Java libraries for Hive which is why mobile-app development has been slow.

Also, javascript is client-side intensive which makes mobile apps even laggier. Using NATIVE JAVA is the best. I managed to port all of the critical Hive operations to Java a couple years back but I haven't open sourced it. I probably will in the future though when I actually have time to work and clean my code up.
