Paying twice to build the same app
Building separate native iOS and Android apps means two codebases, two teams and double the cost. React Native ships both platforms from one codebase, so you build once.
React Native Apps
React Native App Development
One codebase, both app stores. Cross-platform iOS and Android apps in React Native that feel native, ship faster and update instantly, for businesses across the US, UK and Canada.

Why cross-platform
Building two native apps the hard way?
If any of these sound familiar, one React Native codebase solves it, without the compromises of a cheap wrapper.
iOS and Android drifting out of sync
When two native apps are maintained separately, features and fixes land at different times. One React Native codebase keeps both platforms perfectly in step.
A cross-platform app that feels cheap
Badly built React Native apps lag and feel off. Done right, with native modules where needed, React Native is smooth and indistinguishable from native to most users.
Slow release cycles
Shipping fixes to two native apps is slow. React Native with over-the-air updates lets you push many changes instantly, without waiting on app store review.
No in-house mobile team
If your team knows React and JavaScript, React Native lets them maintain the app too. You are not forced to hire separate Swift and Kotlin specialists.
Needing native features but fearing lock-in
Worried cross-platform cannot do camera, payments or Bluetooth? React Native bridges to native modules, so you get platform capabilities without two full codebases.

Why choose us
React Native done the right way
React Native is brilliant when built well and disappointing when built badly. We know the difference: real native components, native modules where they count and the new architecture. These are the standards behind every app we ship.
Start your projectBuild once, ship both
One codebase for iOS and Android cuts cost and time without the compromises of a cheap wrapper.
React Native specialists
We know the framework deeply, including the new architecture, native modules and the traps that make bad RN apps feel bad.
Native feel, not a web view
We build with real native components and bridge to native modules where it counts, so the app feels right on both platforms.
Ship updates instantly
Over-the-air updates let us fix and improve the app without waiting days for store review.
Any native capability
Camera, biometrics, Bluetooth, payments, maps. If a platform can do it, we bridge to it.
Code sharing with web
If you have a React web app, we share logic and components to keep your whole product consistent and efficient.
Tested on both platforms
We test on real iOS and Android devices, because one codebase still needs verifying on each platform.
We keep RN current
React Native moves fast. We handle version upgrades and dependency updates so your app does not rot.
How we work
Our React Native development process
Eight clear stages, each with something you can see and sign off on. No black box between idea and both app stores.
- 01
Discovery
We map your users, platforms and any native capabilities the app will need.
- 02
Design
Platform-aware UI designed and prototyped, signed off before build.
- 03
Architecture
App structure, state, native modules and backend planned up front.
- 04
Development
One React Native codebase built in sprints, with builds for both platforms weekly.
- 05
Testing
Real-device testing on iOS and Android, plus Jest and Detox automation.
- 06
Submission
We build, sign and submit to both the App Store and Play, handling each review.
- 07
OTA Setup
Over-the-air updates configured so future fixes ship instantly.
- 08
Support
RN upgrades, monitoring and new features after launch.

Client words
Trusted by teams shipping to both stores
We needed iOS and Android on a startup budget. React Native got us both stores from one codebase in ten weeks. It feels native, our React developers can maintain it, and over-the-air updates let us iterate daily. Exactly the right call.
They migrated us off two separate native apps that were always out of sync. Now features ship to both platforms at once and our maintenance cost halved. The native module work for our barcode scanner just worked.
The app is fast and our users cannot tell it is cross-platform. They handled the new architecture migration and the performance is genuinely native-grade. Shipping fixes over the air without waiting for review has been a game changer.

Questions, answered
React Native FAQs
How much does a React Native app cost?
Most React Native projects land between $15,000 and $90,000. Because one codebase serves both platforms, it is typically more cost-effective than building two native apps. A focused app sits at the lower end; complex apps with custom native modules sit higher.
Is React Native as good as native?
For most apps, yes. React Native renders real native components and, with the new architecture and native modules where needed, performs smoothly and feels native. For extremely graphics-intensive apps or deep platform-specific features, fully native may edge it, and we will tell you honestly if that applies to you.
How long does React Native development take?
A focused React Native app typically takes 8 to 16 weeks for both platforms, faster than building two native apps separately. You see builds for both platforms every week as it develops.
Why choose React Native over native?
One codebase for both platforms means lower cost, faster delivery and features that stay in sync. It also lets a React or JavaScript team maintain the app. Choose native instead when you need maximum performance or deep platform-specific capabilities throughout. We advise based on your needs.
Can React Native access device features like camera and Bluetooth?
Yes. React Native bridges to native modules, so it can use the camera, Bluetooth, biometrics, GPS, payments, push notifications and essentially any device capability, either through existing libraries or custom native code we write.
What are over-the-air updates?
Over-the-air updates (via EAS Update or CodePush) let us push JavaScript changes directly to installed apps without going through App Store or Play review. Bug fixes and many features reach users instantly rather than waiting days.
Do you handle both store submissions?
Yes. We build, sign and submit to both the App Store and Google Play, and manage each review process so your app launches on both platforms together.
Can you share code with our React web app?
Yes. We can share business logic, state management and even some components between a React web app and your React Native app, keeping your product consistent and reducing duplicated work.
Should I use Expo?
Expo speeds up development, simplifies builds and enables easy over-the-air updates, and it now supports custom native code via development builds. We use Expo for most projects and bare React Native when a project has unusual native requirements. We pick what fits.
Can you take over an existing React Native app?
Yes. We audit the existing codebase, upgrade the React Native version, fix issues and add features. Outdated RN apps are common and very fixable.
How do you keep up with React Native upgrades?
React Native releases regularly and dependencies move fast. On a maintenance plan we handle version upgrades and dependency updates so your app stays current and does not become hard to change.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes a handover and warranty window. Most clients move to a maintenance plan covering RN upgrades, OS readiness, monitoring and new features so the app stays healthy.
