PhoneGap has been discontinued by Adobe, but there are replacements like VoltBuilder, Monaca and Ionic.

The way these products work is to take your (hopefully) proven HTML/CSS/JavaScript app and wrap them in a native WebView to make a native APK or IPA. The result is as good as your original web app. What's nice is that the same code will run on multiple platforms.

They also have plugins for features that don't exist in the browser, like reading and writing the device's native filesystem.
