React Native has been adopted by hundreds of businesses worldwide, including Uber, Microsoft and Facebook, and is used across a whole range of industries. It lets teams build iOS and Android apps from a single JavaScript or TypeScript codebase while still rendering native interface components.
Why businesses choose React Native
One codebase means faster releases and lower maintenance cost than two separate native apps. Teams that already use React on the web can share knowledge, patterns and sometimes business logic between web and mobile.
The ecosystem is mature: navigation, maps, payments, push notifications and offline storage all have well-supported libraries, and native modules are available when a feature needs platform-specific code.
When to consider native instead
Apps that depend heavily on advanced graphics, complex background processing or the very latest platform APIs can still benefit from fully native development. For most business apps, such as field service, booking, logistics and commerce, React Native delivers native-quality results at lower cost.
