React Native mobile apps

React Native is a technology where a single TypeScript codebase serves iPhone and Android, and the interface uses native system elements. You get two apps for the App Store and Google Play that share logic and most screens. When needed we add native modules, for example for Bluetooth or payments. We also work with Expo, Redux and Firebase. You own the code and documentation.

First we define features and design the UX/UI, then we build the app for both platforms at once and test it on real devices. We work iteratively, and you receive builds to review along the way. Shared code usually shortens the time compared with two separate apps, but the schedule depends on the number of features, integrations and store review. We give a date after analyzing requirements.

It usually needs less work, since logic and most of the interface are written once instead of twice, and it is simpler to maintain afterwards. That is not a rule, though. Price depends on the number of screens, the need for native modules, integrations, backend, offline mode and animation polish. We estimate from a feature description in stages, and if you need heavy hardware performance we will say honestly that native is a better fit.

Performance is very good for typical business apps, but intensive graphics, advanced image processing or unusual hardware features may call for native code. Reliance on third-party libraries also means keeping up with updates and compatibility with new OS versions. That is why we check at the start whether your requirements fit this technology, and we test the app on a range of devices.

Small changes in the JavaScript layer, such as text or logic fixes, can be delivered through over-the-air updates (for example with Expo) without waiting for full store review. Native changes still need a new release. The code and store accounts belong to you, and we can handle ongoing support, library updates and feature development, or hand the project to your team.
