React Native, development for iOS and Android with native capabilities

React Native

With React Native, we build apps for both iPhone and Android from a shared codebase. For many app projects, that means faster development, easier continued development and a more cost-effective solution without the app feeling cross-platform. We build stable, user-friendly and long-term apps that can be integrated with systems and adapted to business requirements and needs.

Why React Native?

React Native is a very good fit when you want to offer both iOS and Android apps for the same product while keeping down the complexity that comes with maintaining two separate apps. It is often a good choice for apps where functionality, user experience, business value and the ability to continue developing the product are more important than building two completely separate codebases from scratch.

This can include anything from internal business apps to booking flows, membership apps, communication apps or other types of services where the same core functionality should work across multiple platforms.

Still, mobile apps are not always the right answer for every need. We help you assess whether a real mobile app or a web app is the right way forward, in order to keep costs and complexity under control while preserving the flexibility to grow sustainably.

Native feel and strong performance

A common misconception is that cross-platform automatically means a worse app experience with major limitations. In practice, React Native produces an app that feels fully native, because it uses each platform's own components and can be adapted for both iOS and Android where needed. That can include everything from camera functionality to file handling.

That allows us to build apps with high performance, clear structure and an interface that feels at home on each platform. When smaller parts need to work differently in iOS and Android, we handle that in development while most of the logic can still be shared.

Efficient development and easier maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of React Native is that much of the code can be reused between platforms. That not only makes development more efficient, but also simplifies maintenance, testing and ongoing development over time.

For you as the client, this often means it becomes easier to prioritise features, plan releases and continue building the app step by step. Instead of running two completely separate app tracks, the work can often be gathered into a more coherent flow.

Integrations and access to device features

An app often needs to communicate with other systems or functions. We build React Native apps that can talk to APIs, internal systems and external services. That can include everything from login, business logic and data retrieval to push notifications, maps, camera access, file handling or other phone features.

This is often where the real value of the app is created. That is why we see React Native as part of a larger whole, where the app needs to work together with backend systems, integrations and other processes, something that becomes easier when you can take advantage of the device's built-in capabilities.

How we work with React Native

For us, React Native is not just a technology choice, but a way of working that fits well when you want to build sustainable apps with high quality. It makes it possible for us to build apps for both Android and iPhone without the cost becoming as high as two completely separate apps.

We do everything from discovery and technical advice to development, integrations, testing, publishing and further development. If you already have an app or an existing codebase, we can also take it over, modernise it and continue building on it.
