It all depends on the size of individual items you add to the app. Will your content be embedded, or accessed via the internet? One way or another would make a big difference. Maybe you could try creating a few screens in the manner you wish first, and then see how big the project is. Then add some more content and see how the size changes. Extrapolate that idea for as many screens as you plan on adding and you might get a general idea? Comments Hi ceerup, There's no way any one of us could tell you the exact answer to this.

If you kept image size to 500k (which is a decent size to display in the app) you'd be looking at 2.5 gb just for the images. That's huge. Your html pages should be very big and an app could probably accommodate those, but as Parker suggested, the best option is to build a bit and check the size. Then add to it and see how that affects the size. I think you'll conclude you need to house at least the images on the internet.
