Build Android and iOS apps in the same language as a React website, so one team can share code and skills across web and mobile.
How we use it
React Native builds Android and iOS apps in TypeScript with real native components. We use it with Expo, particularly when a client's web product is already in React.

React Native is a toolkit for building Android and iOS apps with JavaScript and TypeScript, the same languages used for React websites. The app still uses each phone's own buttons, menus and gestures, so it feels familiar to users. For you, it means one team can look after the website and the app, and some code is written once for both.
React Native makes most sense when your product already lives in the JavaScript world: validation rules, API clients and types can be shared between the web app, the mobile app and a Node.js back end. We build with Expo and the framework's New Architecture.
Use cases
Notifications, approvals and quick actions for existing web products.
Buyer and seller apps sharing logic with a React storefront.
Feeds, comments, media upload and moderation.
Approvals, inspections and task lists linked to existing systems.
Apps your web developers can maintain after launch.
Types, validation and API clients are reused across web, mobile and server, so rules stay consistent and changes cost less.
Native components give users the controls and accessibility behaviour they expect on Android and iOS.
Over-the-air updates ship JavaScript fixes through Expo, within app store policies.
Libraries and developers come from the wider React community.

FAQ
They let us ship changes to an app's JavaScript bundle without a full store release, which helps with urgent fixes. Expo's update service handles delivery and rollback. Apple and Google permit this for fixes and minor changes that don't alter the app's purpose; new native code or major features still go through store review.
For typical business apps, users won't notice a difference: lists, forms, navigation and maps perform well, especially with the New Architecture and the Hermes engine. Heavy real-time graphics, complex gesture-driven animation or intensive on-device processing may need native modules or libraries such as Reanimated. We profile on real mid-range Android phones rather than relying on emulators.
Yes, that's one of its main advantages. Developers who know React and TypeScript pick up screens and business logic quickly, though they need some guidance on mobile navigation, native builds, permissions and store releases. We document those parts during the project and can pair with your developers on the first few releases after handover.
