I wanted to see how this app feels. Visiting the App Store, there is no app with this name. On my iPad, if I tap on your link, I am presented with (literally) a solid empty white square.

My bad, an honest oversight. We have purchased a license.
I suppose my only query is... why bother with ionic? This is such a simple application that it almost feels overkill, you could have used the cordova commandline tools along with libraries like iscroll and fastclick and you'd have had everything you've got here with less overhead...
Just installed it and I think this is the perfect sweet spot for this kind of wrapped webapp. The app is simple (but useful) and still leverages native things like the select combo and date time pickers. The transitions between the two screens are smooth and the list scrolling feels great. I suppose my only query is... why bother with ionic?
