Installing this on Android, it's pretty obvious this isn't native:
* the very first animation (a slide transition to the left) was janky
* The app was unable to get my GPS location (it's being shared properly, and I have intermittent GPS signal, but if it was using the native fused location provider this would work perfectly)
* Buttons have no touch feedback.
* It's not the platform standard navigation drawer
* It's not the platform standard action bar
* The touch drag on the navigation drawer lags behind the finger position more than it should
* Non-native map has really bad pinch-zoom-pan gestures
As an Android developer I'm sure I'm consciously noticing things that lots of other users might not, but if this is the best Cordova still has to offer... :/

Having talked to a lot of users, they do notice. They may not be able to articulate it, but all the things you mentioned give them the feeling that the app is not as good as some other app.
