Wouldn't it be easier to implement it as web application? Then you only need one code base and a browser and it works on all those platforms. Distribution is easy. You just email a URL. Updates would be local and wouldn't need to be distributed at all.

Indeed, for this type of tasks web app is the way to go. A bit of HTML5/CSS3 magic is usually all that's needed.

Uhh... Don't you mean, scan its 2D barcode with your phone camera from the web page? Email is so last millennium.
