React Native Reviews & Product Details

I like using React Native for developing mobile applications, particularly because it allows me to build Android applications easily. One feature I specifically enjoy is the fast refresh, which lets me see code changes immediately without needing to rebuild the entire app. The initial setup was pretty easy too.

I don't like the dependency management tool in React Native. The compatibility issues between React Native libraries and Android versions are a big challenge for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

React Native is a technology that we can use to develop mobile applications for both Android and IOS devices. We just need to write separate code for different operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In react native, sometimes we need to depend on external repos to develop functionalities for our application. Sometimes it affects the performance of the application and can cost a lot more effort to developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use React Native to build cross-platform mobile apps without learning new languages, which is great since I spent four years mastering React. I love using the same hooks and logic to ship high-quality iOS and Android apps from one single codebase. It takes the stress out of explaining my React experience by highlighting how I’ve cut load times by 25% and used reusable components to speed up development by 30%, making my impact clear. The shared codebase for iOS and Android is a massive win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging can be a total nightmare compared to web development. Dealing with native versioning conflicts, heavy bundle sizes, and those occasional performance hits when you're used to the speed of React. Setting up React Native in VS Code was honestly a headache compared to web. Managing the Android SDK and Java variables took way more patience than I expected.

React Native lets me build Android and iOS apps using mostly the same codebase. It makes development faster and easier to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features still need platform-specific code, and dependency can sometimes make debugging a little difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use React Native to create the mobile interface for ServiceScout, an AI-powered assistant, and I find it enables real-time, voice-focused dashboards effectively. React Native helps me manage live two-way audio streaming, real-time updates, and changing user interfaces based on AI responses smoothly. I appreciate how it makes it easier to connect with WebSockets, Firebase authentication, and backend microservices, allowing for quick development and consistent performance across different platforms. It helps link powerful backend AI systems with a user-friendly, voice-optimized mobile interface, making a complicated technical system feel easy and natural for users.

In ServiceScout, where I stream live audio between AI agents and phone calls, detailed performance adjustments and precise control over audio handling often need to connect with native modules. Debugging WebSocket-based live audio streams across different devices can be more complicated than working with pure native development. One big challenge was dealing with how different devices handle audio buffers. For instance, some Android devices add small delays when processing audio, while certain iOS devices manage audio chunks in a different way. This led to minor inconsistencies in latency, making conversations feel a bit off even though the WebSocket connection remained stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

React Native helped us maintaining one repository whilst developing apps for different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed is slightly slower than a native code and we require to develop native module in certain cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

React Native helps developers create cross-platform apps with a single code base, saving a lot of time for app developers. It has a fast reload feature that enhances app testing and development processes. It is easy to integrate with various libraries and tools for added functionality. Additionally, its large community offers great support for developers through shared components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance might be a concern where complex functions are carried out. This is because it will be slightly less efficient in comparison to fully native apps. Bridging is needed in certain native functions. This results in additional work. Debugging might be a concern considering multiple platforms. Documentation might lack in certain less-used modules. Still, it is effective, but these are minute issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
