We currently have HTML-based apps for iOS and Android, using a wrapper. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features. If you're an iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone developper, we'd very much welcome you :-)
Mobile applications for Open Food Facts.
Mobile Web version
See http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Project:Mobile_version
Android and iOS ( PhoneGap )
Application mainly dedicated to the collection of products: barcode scanning , sending photos, input basic informations.
The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova) to be packaged for Android and iOS .
Phonegap can be used on other platforms ( Windows Phone,etc…) But the app also need BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin.
