Let’s talk about your React Native app
Speedy processes
Shipping quickly is our thing.
App setup can be time consuming, so we created an Open Source library that allows us to bootstrap React Native Apps quickly. Our library has reduced setup time from four weeks, to just 1-2 days. Great code combined with an integrated, Agile team approach means ongoing features are shipped quickly, iteratively, and with users at the center of mobile app design.
Support for large user bases
Mobile apps that can scale
Need an app that can handle high traffic peaks and a quickly growing user base? We build a comprehensive systems of monitoring and feedback into our React Native Mobile apps, so there is a constant stream of feedback both for performance, and the user base. We’ve handled apps with millions of monthly active users and peaks of 100,000 or more.
Wide pools of knowledge

Integrated teams
You benefit from the improved designer-developer workflow
React Native avoids maintaining repetitive codebases: one for iOS and one for Android. Instead, developers maintain one codebase. We’ve achieved 80–90% code sharing across iOS and Android platforms, which translates to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings for our clients and a faster time to market. The React Native flexbox-derived layout systems allow designers and developers to style directly with JavaScript.
