Mobile apps built withthe JavaScript you already know.

We build iOS and Android apps from a single React Native codebase. One team, one release schedule, and the same feel as a native build. We use the New Architecture and Expo to ship release-grade mobile products.

Fit check

Is React Native right for your app?

Here is when we recommend React Native, and when we recommend a different path.

React Native is a strong fit if

GOOD FIT

You need iOS and Android on the same release timeline with a single team.

Your web stack is already React or TypeScript and you want real code sharing with mobile.

The app is UI-heavy, data-heavy, or content-heavy rather than real-time 3D or AR.

Consider alternatives if

CHECK FIRST

You're shipping a high-end game, real-time AR, or console-grade 3D.

You depend on brand-new iOS or Android APIs before the RN community catches up.

You're iOS-only or Android-only and want zero framework overhead.

Outcomes

What React Native delivers

Production capabilities we build into React Native projects.

One codebase, two platforms

Ship to App Store and Play Store on the same schedule from one repo, one CI pipeline, and one roadmap.

Native UI, not a web wrapper

Fabric renders real UIKit and Android View components; under the New Architecture, UI calls run synchronously with the native layer.

Over-the-air updates

Push JavaScript-level fixes without a full App Store release via Expo EAS Updates or self-hosted CodePush.

Native-module ecosystem that actually ships

Reanimated, Gesture Handler, FlashList, Vision Camera, MMKV — active maintainers, New Architecture support.

Fast Refresh on real devices

Save a file and see the change on a physical iPhone or Pixel in under a second. The feedback loop is closer to web development than to native, and it compounds across thousands of small iterations.

One mobile team, two platforms

A React Native team roughly the size of a single native team can cover iOS and Android. You stop choosing which platform ships first and stop running parallel backlogs.

Specialists

React Native experts, not React Native beginners.

We build React Native products with production ownership in mind.

01

Native stack navigation

We ship React Navigation with native stack and bottom tabs, wired to deep links and universal links. Screen transitions, back gestures, and modal behaviour match iOS and Android conventions out of the box.

React Native

02

Predictable state at scale

Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or React Query, chosen per project. We draw the line between server state and client state early so the store stays readable when the app hits a hundred screens.

React Native

03

Swift and Kotlin bridges

When a JS library doesn't exist or performance matters, we write TurboModules in Swift and Kotlin. That gives you first-party access to platform capabilities without waiting for a community package.

React Native

04

Expo or bare, chosen well

Expo SDK 52 and later covers most use cases with EAS Build and EAS Updates. We recommend bare CLI only when you're maintaining significant native code. Prebuild gets you most of the way without a hard eject.

React Native

05

60fps under pressure

Hermes, Reanimated 3 on the UI thread, FlashList v2 for long lists, memoisation where it counts. We profile with React Native DevTools and lock the frame budget on real devices before shipping.

React Native

06

Both app stores, first try

Apple review, Play Store policies, privacy manifests, signing, TestFlight, and staged rollouts. We handle the submission paperwork and the rejection appeals so your release date doesn't slip.

Problem / Solution

Problems we solve in React Native builds

We clean up codebases written by teams who treated mobile like a web browser with a camera attached.

Treat React Native like React Web. State updates block the JS thread and FPS drops the moment real data shows up.

01

Profile on a real device with Hermes, Reanimated 3, and FlashList v2. Memoise hot components. Lock 60fps in scroll and transitions.

Pin unmaintained npm packages that break on every iOS or Android release, and the build goes red for days each quarter.

02

Write Swift and Kotlin TurboModules when no reliable JS library exists. Own the native surface so the next SDK bump isn't a crisis.

Ship web-like routing: no native gestures, no proper back stack, no state restoration after the app is killed in memory.

03

Use React Navigation 7 with native stack so gestures, transitions, and back behaviour feel the same as a native app.

React Native FAQ

Common questions about React Native projects.

Talk to us

Start with Expo unless you already know you need custom native code on day one. Expo SDK 52 and later supports the New Architecture, EAS Build, and EAS Updates. Prebuild lets you drop into iOS and Android projects without a hard eject. Go bare CLI only when the app is essentially a wrapper around significant Swift or Kotlin that you maintain yourself.

No, not for the fact that it's RN. Apps built with React Native pass App Store review every day: Meta, Microsoft, Shopify, Discord, and Tesla all ship RN apps on iOS. Rejections come from the usual places: private API calls, in-app purchase policy, missing privacy manifests, or poor performance under review test data. We handle those the same way a native team would.

The JS thread is rarely the bottleneck once Hermes is on and you stop doing heavy work in render. We run animations on the UI thread with Reanimated 3, memoise list items, use FlashList v2 for long lists, and profile with React Native DevTools and the Fabric performance tools. ProMotion 120Hz displays get native drivers, not setState.

Yes, with limits. Hooks, utility functions, API clients, validation schemas, state stores, and TypeScript types share cleanly. UI components do not. React DOM and React Native primitives are different rendering targets. We usually structure a monorepo so business logic lives in a shared package and each platform owns its own component layer. Shopify runs 86% code share on mobile-to-mobile. Mobile-to-web logic sharing typically lands at 40 to 60%.

Yes. We run quarterly dependency upgrades, RN version bumps, and Expo SDK upgrades on a support retainer. Each iOS and Android release gets a compatibility pass. We also track deprecations: when Microsoft retired CodePush in March 2025, we migrated active clients to EAS Updates without downtime.
