"A Must language to learn for mobile-web developers"
What do you like best about React Native?

It allows developers to create a single codebase that can run on both Android and iOS platforms, saving time and resources. It also enables the use of native components and APIs, resulting in a smooth, performant user experience. In my organization it helped not only me but many developers to create great mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

React Native may not work on older devices or operating systems, so it may not be suitable for app development if you need to support a wide range of devices and also some-time dependecies are are hard to deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advanced web technologies for the win"
What do you like best about React Native?

React, at it's core focuses on conponent driven development, which makes it easy to accomplish one of the major fundamentals of software engineering i.e. reusability.

Today, most of the developers are well versed with web technologies, particularly javascript. With these skillsets, React natuve enables such engineers to build mobile apps as well.

With certain tweaks and configurations it is possible to have one bundler(like webpack) to build web as well as mobile packages.

React is one of the fastest UI libraries, which helps to build slick mobile pages.

Last but not the least, community support is tremendous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

Though I haven't worked on native mobile app technologies, but I'm quite sure that there would certain capabilities which wouldn't be available with web technologies like React Native Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience in react native"
What do you like best about React Native?

React native is an excellent framework for building android and ios applications using web technologies which is better than other hybrid frameworks. We can also integrate native code if required.

Performance is improved in the latest version of react-native as they have introduced new architecture of react-native.

Large community support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

Compared to native, it is slower in some cases, and for a complex application, there can be performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My first impression is very positive with respect to React Native"
What do you like best about React Native?

I like the performance and overall layout of react native. Especially the absolute positioning works well. Best thing is it's open source platform. Debugging is good and is supported by Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

There is not much downside of React Native but what I have faced is little glitches in Chrome debugging. It can be done better. Some improvements are in javascript needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fully Satisfied with your services"
What do you like best about React Native?

Their way of coding it is easy for everyone to understand and move with it. We like to share react native experiences with our friends and colleagues, and they do the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

It will be difficult for newcomers to understand the coding style easily, and it will be better if you explain the code and the writing style of the code.Would be appreciated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Experience of using React Native"
What do you like best about React Native?

- If a developer knows react than wuite easy and smooth transition to react native

- No need to write different code for both iOS and android. Same code and react native does the magic of converting the code

- Good community support for any issues and some great libraries/framework have also been built on top of react native

- To build a mobile app no need for an android and an iOS developer now as one good react developer can easily build the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

- The app size is bigger than the native app that is built

- Some overheads are added as it converts JS into the platform specific code

- Rarely we need to make changes in the android or ios folder and that time it becomes more difficult for a JS developer and it happens when someone hasn't written a bridge to convert the kotlin/swift code to JS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"React Native Review"
What do you like best about React Native?

It works fast and is entirely written in Javascript, so have a wealthy library with added features for 3rd party libraries. React Native applications respond fast and are easy to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

The developer working for a React native application needs to have a good hold of Javascript. Although Javascript is easy to learn, once got a hold of it, effortless to explore and learn and apply to various components and scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
