Shared logic, platform-appropriate interface
Business logic and data layer written once. Navigation patterns, gestures and typography follow each platform’s conventions, because users notice when they do not even if they cannot name why.
Mobile Apps
React Native Development
Cross-platform apps in React Native: one team, one codebase, two stores. Native code written where performance or platform APIs require it, and not before.

The problem
Cross-platform gets sold as half the cost and delivered as an app that feels wrong on both platforms — because navigation, gestures and typography were built once and never adapted to each platform’s conventions.
How we do it
What the work actually involves
Native modules when the case is real
Bluetooth, background processing, heavy media and camera work often need native code. We write it rather than forcing a library to approximate it.
Over-the-air updates for the JavaScript layer
Fixes ship without a store review cycle. This changes the economics of maintenance more than anything else in the stack.
Store submission handled
App Store and Play Store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations and review responses. First submissions get rejected for predictable reasons and we know them.

Common failures
Where this usually goes wrong
The three we are called in to fix most often. If any of these describe your current setup, that is the first thing we would change.
Building one interface for both platforms
Navigation, gestures and typography differ by platform convention. Users notice when an app feels wrong even when they cannot name why, and reviews say "clunky".
Forcing a library where native code is needed
Bluetooth, background processing and heavy media usually need native modules. Approximating them with a JavaScript library produces something that works in the demo and fails on real devices.
Building an app nobody needed
If usage is occasional, a responsive web app reaches everyone with no install friction and no store review. Apps earn their keep on repeat usage, offline needs or hardware access.
Measurement
How you will know it is working
Agreed before we start, so progress is visible in the months before it shows up in revenue.
- Crash-free sessions
- Above 99.5%. Below that, store ratings fall and the fix costs more than the prevention would have.
- From launch
- Day 7 retention
- The number that says whether the app should exist. Installs are a marketing metric; retention is a product one.
- Month 1
- OTA update adoption
- How quickly JavaScript fixes reach users without a store review. It is what changes the economics of maintenance.
- Per release
