It sounds like a todo list and you will find many tutorials that cover this. You can easily modify the code to add extra fields. You would probably want a good login screen so you know who is posting, amending and completing the job requests. I would recommend Firebase plenty of tutorials and its cross platform.

I would use the dataUrl functionality to display the open jobs, then a webview screen for changes. That way you could use as much native code as Buzztouch can provide, then use the php and webscreens for the next layer in. Comments I'd keep the database in mySql. I've done some similar projects.

Your users will make additions, changes, and deletions from their devices, but they will need some central place where the jobs reside. Comments You need some sort of database to store the jobs.
