I have on my mind to turn into Unity for future development but as for now I have a little knowledge about that engine. Therefore I would like to ask you if Unity is a good choice for development of 2d apps or is it good just for games? Does it provide same functionality like Android e.g. touch screen or iOS multi-touch?
Is it wise to use Unity for development of apps dedicated for Android and iOS or is it better to stick with those 2 separate paths of development for Android and iOS?
It is very possible to create a good 2D game in Unity. In fact, following with your comment:
It is perfectly fine for Unity to create non-game apps, even in 2D. The good thing about Unity is that you can EASILY create utilities/software/non-game apps. Unity makes a great software platform in general for multiple platforms. For the most part, Unity has the power of C# Mono for logic and features.
One of the pitfalls of using Unity is the GUI. For getting a good GUI, you may want to look at some alternate third-party Unity plugins.
In other words, Unity is great for all-around multi platform development. 🙂
