Turn Angular 2 app into mobile app

We have a responsive web app developed using AngularJS 2. We would like to wrap it inside a package to redistribute it as a mobile app. Android is our priority. We have looked at Cordova. Are there other options available for turning a web app into a mobile app? What are the pitfalls involved in turning an AngularJS 2 web app into a mobile app?

Ionic 2, currently in beta, uses Angular2 to make hybrid mobile apps. You'll have to make some modifications in your app but it's still Angular2, only with some custom ionic components.

NativeScript also uses Angular2 to make apps, but this time, it makes true native apps. There's a little bit more of work there, you'll have to adapt your templates and styles but the code is still Angular2-flavored TypeScript.

This one looks more promising angular-native-seed, where you only need to write code once.
