App development with React Native
One codebase for iOS and Android – in TypeScript, with real native components.
React Native is the right call when your team already knows React or a web product exists: you share logic, types and design system instead of building them a second time.
What is React Native?
React Native is an open-source framework by Meta: apps for iOS and Android are built from a single TypeScript codebase – with an interface made of real native components, so your users get the platform's look and feel rather than a recreation of it.
Developed and backed by Meta: Meta has been driving React Native forward since 2015 and uses it in its own products.
In production worldwide: companies of all sizes rely on React Native for their apps – alongside Flutter one of the two most widely used cross-platform frameworks.
A mature ecosystem: a large developer community, thousands of well-maintained packages and regular releases make React Native a safe long-term investment.
The advantages of React Native
React Native plays to its strengths wherever React know-how or a web product already exists:
One team for web and app
Your React developers contribute to the app without switching language. Business logic, API types and validation live once in the repository and apply to both products.
Real native components
React Native renders the platform's own building blocks. Scrolling, text fields and accessibility behave the way iOS and Android users expect – no recreation needed.
Fixes without store waiting time
We fix defects in the JavaScript layer via over-the-air update. That shortens the gap between report and fix considerably – especially in the hot phase after launch.
Large ecosystem, less bespoke work
Proven packages exist for most requirements, which lowers effort – but we check every dependency for how well it is maintained before it enters your project.
Not sure whether React Native or Flutter fits your project better?
Short version: React Native when React know-how or a web app already exists. Flutter when a highly bespoke, animation-heavy UI leads. In a free first call – with us in Cologne or over video – we place that for your specific case. Including when the honest answer is native development.

We were kept up to date at every stage of the app development and were able to make requests immediately. With the new app, we can also sell our rings in retail stores, as customers can link their rings directly to their payment card on their cell phone.
