Why React Native?

Cross-platform development with real added value

React Native is one of the leading technologies for cross-platform development. It allows us to create apps for iOS and Android that feel and behave like native applications using a single code base. This not only saves valuable time and resources, but also ensures a consistent brand experience across all devices.

  • Native performance: Genuine native UI components ensure a smooth and responsive user experience that is indistinguishable from native apps.
  • Efficient development: One code, two platforms. We significantly reduce the development effort and accelerate the time-to-market of your app.
  • Consistent brand experience: Make sure that your brand is presented identically and in high quality on iOS and Android.
  • Large ecosystem: We use a huge ecosystem of libraries and tools (e.g. Expo, React Navigation, Firebase) to quickly integrate modern features.

React Native App Development FAQ

Answers to the most important questions about React Native app development, costs and our service. Find the information you're looking for quickly.

React Native development

React Native is a JavaScript framework from Facebook that makes it possible to develop native mobile apps for iOS and Android with a single code base. The apps use real native UI components and therefore offer performance that is almost indistinguishable from native apps. This saves up to 50% development time and costs compared to separate development for both platforms.

React Native Apps use native UI components and therefore offer performance that is close to native apps. The main difference: they are developed with JavaScript/TypeScript, but are translated into native components at runtime. This means: one code base for both platforms, faster development, but still native performance and look & feel.

React Native is suitable for almost all app types: E-commerce apps, social media apps, business apps, gaming apps, fitness apps, educational apps and much more. Only apps with very specific native features or extremely high performance requirements could be better developed natively.

The development time depends on the complexity: an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) takes 4-8 weeks, a complete app 3-6 months, complex enterprise apps 6-12 months. React Native speeds up development considerably, as only one code base needs to be developed for both platforms.

Yes, existing native apps can be migrated to React Native. We analyse your current code base, plan a step-by-step or complete migration and modernize the UI and architecture in the process. This reduces maintenance costs and enables the use of modern development practices.

We rely on proven technologies: React Native Core, Expo for rapid development, React Navigation for routing, React Native Reanimated for animations, Firebase for backend services, TypeScript for type safety and Redux Toolkit for state management. Our stack is optimized for performance and maintainability.

We implement comprehensive testing: unit tests with Jest, integration tests, end-to-end tests with Detox, and manual tests on real devices. Our CI/CD pipeline automates builds and tests for both platforms to ensure high code quality.

Yes, React Native apps can be published in both stores without any problems. They are recognized as native apps and go through the same review processes. We take care of the complete store optimization, ASO (App Store Optimization) and the publishing process.

We offer comprehensive maintenance and support: regular updates, bug fixes, performance optimizations, new features and security updates. Our team remains your point of contact even after the launch and ensures that your app is always up to date.

We offer direct support from our development team. We respond to technical problems within 24 hours and to critical issues immediately. You have a dedicated contact person and can contact us at any time - without waiting on hold or support tickets.

Project & costs

The costs depend on the complexity: simple apps cost €15,000-30,000, medium-sized apps €30,000-60,000 and complex apps €60,000-150,000. React Native saves 30-50% compared to native development. Use our free app cost calculator for a precise estimate.

Absolutely! An MVP is ideal for validating your app idea. We develop a functional version with the core features in 4-6 weeks. This costs €15,000-25,000 and provides valuable insights for further development. Many successful apps have started out as MVPs.

Included in the price: Concept & UX/UI design, complete development, testing & quality assurance, app store release, backend development, 3 months support after launch, documentation and knowledge transfer. Optional: ASO, marketing support, long-term maintenance.

We work in partnership: regular video calls, transparent project management, weekly updates, direct contact with the developers. You always have an insight into progress and can give feedback at any time. We speak your language - no technical jargon.

Yes, we offer flexible team support: part-time or full-time developers, code reviews, architecture consulting, knowledge transfer. We integrate seamlessly into your processes and supplement your team where you need additional expertise.

We can usually start with the conception within 1-2 weeks. For MVPs, we often start even faster. The actual development time depends on availability and project complexity. We plan a realistic schedule together.

No, we work transparently: all costs are discussed in advance and set out in the contract. No hidden fees, no surprises. In the event of changes during development, we openly discuss the impact on time and costs.

Your satisfaction is our top priority. We work iteratively and regularly gather your feedback. If you are not satisfied, we adapt the app to your wishes. Our goal is for you to be delighted with your app.

Yes, we offer continuous further development: new features, updates, performance optimizations. Many customers work with us on a long-term basis. We know your app and can develop extensions quickly and efficiently.

We sign NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and treat your idea confidentially. The code belongs to you, we transfer all rights. We only use open source licenses that have no restrictions for your project.

Yes, we develop complete solutions: APIs, databases, authentication, push notifications, analytics, payment integration. We use modern technologies such as Firebase, GoLang, Node.js, PostgreSQL and can also integrate existing systems.
