Cross-platform mobile development: a study on apps with animations

The paper presents a comparison between different frameworks for cross-platform mobile development, MoSync, Titanium, jQuery Mobile and Phonegap, with particular attention to development of applications with animations. We define a set of criteria for the evaluation and we develop the same game as case study app, with the aim to provide an unbias judgement. Our analysis recommends Titanium as the best framework to develop mobile applications with animations.
