React Native apps for both stores, from one senior team

iOS and Android from a single TypeScript codebase — sharing types, business logic and often whole modules with the web product we build alongside it. React Native is part of our standard stack because it lets a small senior team ship and maintain mobile without doubling the engineering bill. And when native is genuinely the better call, we say so — below, in writing.

Why we reach for it

Engineering reasons, not fashion — the same test every tool in our stack has to pass.

One codebase, both stores

Features land on iOS and Android in the same release, built and maintained by one senior team instead of two platform teams drifting apart.

Shared logic with the web

The same TypeScript, types, validation and API clients as the React web product we build alongside it. Pricing rules and business logic are written once.

A deep talent pool

React developers are among the easiest engineers to hire anywhere. The app we ship is one your future team can inherit — boring technology, deliberately.

Native where it counts

React Native renders real native components, drops into Swift or Kotlin for the screens that need it, and pushes fixes over the air without waiting on store review.

When we advise against it

A tool we recommend for everything is a tool we've stopped thinking about. Three cases where the answer is something else.

Games, AR and heavy sensor work

Real-time 3D, augmented reality and anything leaning hard on the GPU or sensor pipeline belongs in Swift and Kotlin. The abstraction that makes React Native productive gets in the way here — we'll tell you to go fully native and help you scope it.

A single-platform internal app

If the audience is your own team and the workflow lives at a desk, a responsive web app is cheaper to build, deploy and update — no store review, no install step. That's most internal tools.

A healthy native codebase

If you already run well-built Swift or Kotlin apps, rewriting them in React Native rarely pays back. Keep what works — modernisation should be incremental, not ideological.

How it fits the process

The stack is an output of the diagnosis, not an input. React Native is a default we hold — defaults, not dogma, as we put it in how we engineer — and when mobile isn't the right shape at all, the diagnosis says so in writing before a line of code is written.

Common questions

Will a React Native app feel native?

For product UIs — feeds, forms, dashboards, checkout — yes: React Native renders real native components, not a web view. Where a screen genuinely needs platform code, we write a native module for that screen alone.

Does one team really cover iOS and Android?

Yes — one codebase, one senior team, both stores. Features ship on both platforms in the same release, and signing, store review and CI/CD are handled as part of the build.

How fast can a first version ship?

A focused v1 typically ships in 2–3 months, milestone-billed like everything we build. You'll have a build on your own phone well before that — usually within the first few weeks.

Why React Native over Flutter?

Flutter is capable — this isn't a religious position. We standardise on React Native because it shares TypeScript, tooling and often whole modules with the React web stack we build, and the hiring pool for your future team is far deeper.

Thinking about a mobile app — or told you need one?

The diagnosis is free, and if a responsive web app or native code is the better answer, that's what you'll hear.
