Cross-platform form functionality for mobile app

Question

I'm not asking for a heated debate on what is the best approach, as I know this would be against StackOverflow rules.

I am building an app natively in Android and iOS and am wondering what are some good ways to set up a form in the app so comments can be made and I can see them, ie - a feedback form.

No one else needs to see them so I was wondering if there was some method of doing this with Google Forms, or some other alternative.

I know I could just save the comments to a server/database but that's a lot of effort really.

I considered sending the comment/feedback to my email but apparently there are problems with this in iOS development due to spam issues or something.

What are simple ways to go about this, I would like a few options and I can then research some more?

Answer 1

Simple but lengthy steps:

1.Create a form in UI of respective technologies, ie in android java+xml. I don't know about ios much.

2.Send form's parameters just like html form, from client to server. Now you will be sending parameters from app.

3.Handle parameters on server, use phpmailer library for SMTP email. Its fast and your mail would not appear in spam folder.
