Why React Native most of the time?
One codebase for iOS and Android, so you don't build the same thing twice. Over the past three years it has been the basis for nearly all our new client projects: widely used, actively maintained, and not a hype that disappears in a few years. For most apps, simply the most sensible place to start.
And Flutter, or native after all?
Flutter is a strong technology with a lot of control over the interface, and in specific situations we deliberately choose it. More often React Native wins, because it sits closer to the JavaScript ecosystem and connects more easily to existing systems. We do not start from a framework but from the product: the stage it is at, the performance requirements, the integrations and how quickly it has to go live.
Does a cross-platform app feel less like a real app?
For most apps, no. React Native uses the native interface elements of iOS and Android, so a list scrolls and a button responds the way users expect from their device. Where that is not enough — heavy animation, intensive use of hardware — is exactly the moment to consider native.
Can an existing app switch over?
Yes. Redesigning an existing app, making it faster and getting it ready for the years ahead is part of our work. We start from what is there now and where it pinches — slow screens, outdated integrations, two codebases that have drifted apart — and decide from there what has to be rebuilt and what can stay.
