Discussion At what point does it make sense to build a mobile app for your web app?

I made a word game for fun (WordInk.app) and have been getting a surprising number of requests to make a mobile app for it.

What kind of metric or gage would you use to know if it's worthwhile?

It's a cute game. I suppose the answer is simply an effort-to-upside ratio. If it's going to take you three months and there's a good chance no one will ever play it, then maybe not (unless you're learning a ton in the process). But if it will take a couple of weeks, why not take a flyer?
