React Native development for
cross-platform mobile apps.
React Native lets JavaScript developers build real iOS and Android apps, with native components, not a web view. If your team already knows React, it's often the fastest path to a production-ready mobile app without duplicating your frontend expertise.
React Native for teams that already live in JavaScript
React Native bridges the web and mobile worlds. If you already have a React web app and a JavaScript team, adding a mobile app doesn't require starting from scratch.
SaaS Mobile Extensions
Mobile companions to existing web SaaS platforms, sharing business logic, API calls, and type definitions across web and mobile with a shared JavaScript codebase.
B2C Consumer Apps
Consumer apps for iOS and Android built simultaneously, from a single JavaScript codebase submitted to both stores together.
Location & Field Apps
Apps with GPS tracking, geofencing, background location, and mapping. For logistics, field service, and delivery operations that need accurate real-time location data.
Notification-Driven Apps
Apps built around push notifications, in-app messaging, and real-time alerts. We integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging and OneSignal for reliable cross-platform delivery.
The right choice when your team already knows React
React Native isn't always the answer, but when you have JavaScript expertise and need to ship mobile fast, it removes a massive barrier to entry.
Shared codebase with your web app
Business logic, API calls, validation, state management, much of it transfers directly from your React web app to React Native. You're not rebuilding from scratch.
Real native components
React Native renders actual iOS and Android native UI components, not a web view. The result feels like a native app because, at the rendering layer, it is one.
Expo for faster iteration
Expo's managed workflow cuts mobile development overhead significantly, OTA updates, pre-built native modules, and simplified App Store submissions. We use it when it fits.
Massive ecosystem
React Native has thousands of community and first-party modules. Maps, payments, camera, biometrics, Bluetooth, there's a maintained package for nearly everything.
When should you choose React Native?
React Native is one of two cross-platform frameworks we build with regularly, here's how we think about the tradeoff against Flutter.
React Native makes sense when
- Your team already knows JavaScript and React
- You have an existing React web app and want to share business logic with mobile
- Your UI is relatively standard and doesn't need heavily custom rendering
Consider alternatives when
- You need complex, highly custom UI with guaranteed pixel-perfect consistency
- You're starting fresh with no JavaScript team already in place
- Raw rendering performance on GPU-intensive screens is the top priority
What we pair with React Native
React Native handles the mobile frontend. Here's what we build around it.
Hire a React Native Developer
Skip the full build. Get a vetted React Native developer working inside your existing team, on your stand-ups and your roadmap.
Hire a React Native Developer →Built by AI-native engineers, so your React Native app is ready for assistant and on-device features
Smart capture, streaming assistant panels, and agent-driven flows need the app architecture designed for them. We build the state and streaming patterns in from the start. It is how our own products, Tully AI and Mebag, were built.
Token streaming, cancellation, and retry handled cleanly on a mobile connection.
Camera and voice input wired to a model with the right on-device and server split.
Prompt versioning, evals, and guardrails on the backend the React Native app talks to.

Common questions about React Native development
Straight answers on stack fit, working in your codebase, cost, and how we start.
React Native vs Flutter, which should I choose?
If your team knows JavaScript and you have a React web app, React Native is typically the faster path. Flutter gives better performance for complex custom UIs and is the better choice if you're starting fresh with no JavaScript team. We build both, we'll give you a straight recommendation.
Do you use Expo or bare React Native?
Depends on the project. Expo managed workflow for most apps, it dramatically reduces friction and is fine for 90% of use cases. Bare React Native for projects that need custom native modules or specific hardware integrations that Expo doesn't support.
Can React Native apps be published to both app stores?
Yes, both the App Store and Google Play from a single codebase. We handle the full submission process, including app store screenshots, metadata, compliance with review guidelines, and release management.
How long does a React Native project take?
A focused mobile MVP: 10 to 16 weeks. A full-featured app with complex features and third-party integrations: 18 to 28 weeks. If you have an existing React web app with shared business logic, we can sometimes move faster.
Hire React Native Developers
Need React Native engineers embedded in your team rather than a full project handoff? Our React Native Developers join your existing workflow (your tools, your stand-ups, your roadmap) while we handle employment, payroll, and HR. Add one developer or a full team, scale up before a release and back down after, and keep everything they build.
