I built a complete mobile app using jQuery mobile and it was a total disaster as well. I had so many ugly hacks in place just to achieve what any decent SPA framework does out of the box nowadays. To this day I have no idea what the actual purpose of jQuery mobile was, it sucked for single page apps and felt more like a quick way to make HTML pages responsive. Which can of course be achieved with a bit of CSS or one of the many responsive CSS frameworks.

Thankfully the app never made it to production, for various non-technical reasons.
