Approaches of React Native Mobile App Development

When to Use React Native?

Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

An MVP is the working prototype of an application that needs to be launched in the market quickly.

Developing an App From a Website

Convert your website into an app with React Native, reusing existing code for broader reach.

When You Can’t Use React Native

Apps With Multiple Screen

React Native may not be ideal for apps requiring multiple screens with complex transitions and gestures.

Apps for Single Operating System

React Native is best for cross-platform apps; for a single OS, native development may offer a better user experience.

Businesses are using React Native to turn websites into apps for broader reach.  It eases porting business logic to iOS/Android, shares code with web versions, and allows a unified codebase for all platforms.
