React Native
One codebase, both platforms — our default for cross-platform apps.
What is React Native?
React Native lets you build genuinely native iOS and Android apps from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase, rendering real native UI components rather than a web view.
Why we build with it
It lets a team ship to both platforms at once with a native feel, and shares language, types, and often logic with a React web app. For most business apps, that's a huge win in speed and cost without sacrificing quality.
Strengths
Best for
- Startup MVPs and most business apps
- Teams with existing React/JS talent
- Products that also have a React web app
Not ideal for
- Graphics-heavy games or AR
- Apps needing the very latest native APIs on day one
We build most mobile apps in React Native — offline-first, with push and analytics — and handle full App Store and Play Store launch. We go fully native only when performance demands it.

FAQs
Are React Native apps really native?
Yes — React Native renders real native UI components, not a web view, so apps look and feel native on both platforms.
Is React Native good for performance?
For the vast majority of business apps, yes. For graphics-intensive apps or games, fully native or a game engine may be a better fit.
