"My amazing experience with React Native"
What do you like best about React Native?

It can offer the opportunity to update the applications you code remotely, it does this many times on Instagram. It has a big supporter in the global market like Facebook. Independent Developers are also available and you can even write your own modules. If there is html, css, js, which is ideal for web-based coders, someone who knows FrondEnd can learn very easily with react native. The time to write the application is shorter, thus providing a great advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

Package incompatibilities. One of the issues that I suffer the most is that when you install a package in any way, the versions you want conflict with another package, this situation can be a bit annoying, but it can be overcome and generally there are solutions.

Development environment problem With React native, you can write the Android application on a Windows pc. No problem, but you cannot write the iOS application. You need a Mac computer or install a Virtual Machine for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Suits majority of app needs"
What do you like best about React Native?

The fact that it is web technology-based, but builds to native binaries means that you can leverage the best of both web and native worlds. Not to mention the fact that if you develop for Android and then check iOS version - 99 out of 100 times it works without any extra modifications. So, two times two birds with one stone 🤗 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

It might be difficult on native side integration. Especially if there is no native module ported for your needs because then you either need to port it on your own or find a native dev to help you out.

When updating between versions you might get native errors that are cryptic and hard to resolve. There is tooling for that, but it still sometimes takes longer than one would want for a minor version bump. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smoothest development with frontend! "
What do you like best about React Native?

A tool that offers a lot of content and tutorials online, a tool that is very well documented and easily integrated with new projects. i managed to learn this tool in a very short amount of time, firstly by my self then by researching and reading other code from open source projects. Time Efficiency. Design and layout feels a lot more productive

React Native is growing really fast among developers and is used in famous and well known companies. For someone who is thinking about whether using React native is the right solution or not, do not think twice, it is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

with all the pros that React Native offers, and the popular API's that are supported by it. Unfortunately, some API's are left out and i wished they were supported. And what bothered me the most is the lack or the hardship of interacting with native elements, React native does not provide any scope to allow the developer to use the native elements of the device like the microphone.

"React Native is a fast alternative to native implementation"
What do you like best about React Native?

React Native is a fast way to help developers start creating applications for mobile phones. iOS and Android are both supported and a web front engineer can help and learn to work with mobile development with ease. Being able to support both web and native using Javascript is amazing, definitely something that's very innovative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

What I dislike about react native is that there are many limitations with native development. There are also a lot of difficulties adding the code and compiling it to support different type of operating systems (iOS or Android). However, there are more pros than cons and react native is great overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool with a rich amount of content online."
What do you like best about React Native?

react native resources and codes are used almost everywhere by both individuals and corporates. In my company, we work on payment systems that is nation wide used and is under development everyday.

Like with most online developer communities, the React Native one is growing and offers a great network of experienced developers. If you're starting out, you can get fast answers to common problems and queries while also taking advantage of some of the new updates to React Native. There will also be lots of documentation and tutorials to help you too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

even though some popular native APIs are supported by React Native, it doesn’t support other important APIs and functionalities. To access those functionalities, native modules are used. Also, interacting with native elements. This is probably the biggest drawbacks of React Native development that it doesn’t provide any scope of using the native elements of a device like Camera or Voice Recorder.

It security is not beefed up especially for institutions that need high level security like banking applications will require to get some extra safety measures which might be costly.

The copy rights of the application are also not so clear which is a bit disturbing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with React Native"
What do you like best about React Native?

React native is such a wonderful JavaScript framework, that has helped me finish projects in time compared to the other methods because i use JavaScript knowledge to develop mobile applications that run native without learning a new programming language hence reducing the amount of time i spend building an application. code sharing is an import area of focus especially when you are thinking about across platform application and react makes this process smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

Even though react is beautiful framework, its not easy to get into for the first time especially if one is not good at object oriented programming and one can easily pick up pace after understanding how javascript object oriented components work such as methods, classes, functions.
