"React Native, a modern UI framework making the development of complex mobile applications easier."
5/5
What do you like best about React Native?

React Native's rich user interface, reusable code components, and the fact that it's open source, making it cheaper compared to other native app development made me choose it for the development of my orgnaization's handyman mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

The frustrations that sometimes you can go through as a result of component compatibility issues that erupt especially with the native builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reactive Native offered us the scalability we needed for our handyman native apps"
5/5
What do you like best about React Native?

Reactive Native's reusable code optimised the development speed of our native apps. We need to develop iOS and Android apps for our handyman project (https://customer.workforce.org.gh and https://providerworkforce.org.gh) within 6 weeks, Reactive Native made it possible for our developers to deliver within the set time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

We wanted to develop versions of our app for Apple Watch and Google Watch but Reactive Native was not able to help us do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to develop mobile apps"
5/5
What do you like best about React Native?

With the help of react native using single codebase we can build apps tht work in android and ios. And language used is javascript. We do need two separate teams to build apps for android and ios. And the functionality is same as react. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

The apps might not be very speed compared to native apps. For smoother animations and faster response time it may not be good solution.It is very new so open community help might not be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"POWERFUL AND DYNAMIC!"
5/5
What do you like best about React Native?

Code Reusability: Write once, use for both iOS and Android.

Performance: Near-native performance for smoother apps.

Hot Reloading: Instantly see code changes during development.

Large Community: Active developer community and extensive ecosystem.

JavaScript: Familiarity with JavaScript simplifies adoption.

Cross-Platform Development: Cost-effective multi-platform support.

Used by Facebook and Instagram: Proven reliability and scalability.

Developer Tools: Comprehensive set of debugging and inspection tools.

Open Source: Collaboration and no vendor lock-in.

Third-Party Plugin Support: Access to device features and external libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

Native Modules: Integrating certain native functionality can be complex and require writing native modules in Objective-C, Swift, or Java.

Performance Bottlenecks: While React Native offers good performance, complex animations and heavy computational tasks may not perform as well as fully native solutions.

Lack of Native Feel: Some argue that React Native apps may not feel entirely native, which can be a concern for apps with strict design requirements.

Large Bundle Size: React Native apps can have larger bundle sizes compared to purely native apps, which may affect download and startup times.

Limited Access to New Features: React Native may not immediately support the latest features introduced by iOS and Android, leading to delays in taking advantage of platform-specific capabilities.

Learning Curve: While JavaScript knowledge is an advantage, React Native itself has a learning curve, especially for developers new to React or mobile development.

Debugging Challenges: Debugging complex issues in React Native apps can sometimes be more challenging than in fully native apps.

Dependency Management: Managing dependencies in React Native projects can be tricky, as it involves native code and JavaScript packages.

Community-Dependent: Reliance on third-party libraries and the open-source community can lead to issues with library compatibility or maintenance.

Platform-Specific Code: Despite code reusability, some platform-specific code may still be necessary, adding complexity to the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Go-to Framework for Hybrid App Development"
4.5/5
What do you like best about React Native?

The use of the single code base for both Android and iOS saves a lot of time in App Development with the ability to build the module by module which is very easy when upscaling the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about React Native?

It will be better if there are updated libraries to the React Native framework. And also major version upgrades may be sometimes tiresome since it is modular framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
