React Native has changed the economics of mobile app development. For businesses in Trinidad and Tobago, it means getting a professional iOS and Android app without the cost of building two separate apps.
What Is React Native?
React Native is a framework created by Meta that allows developers to build mobile apps using JavaScript and React. The resulting apps are not web views — they use actual native components, delivering performance indistinguishable from apps built with Swift or Kotlin.
Why React Native for Trinidad and Tobago
Cost Efficiency
One codebase for both platforms means roughly 40-60% cost savings compared to building separate native apps.
Faster Development
Shared code and hot reloading mean faster development cycles. Your app gets to market sooner.
Native Performance
React Native apps use native UI components, ensuring smooth animations and fast interactions.
Easy Updates
With Expo, you can push updates to users without going through app store review processes.
Web Code Sharing
If your website is built with React (like the sites we build at RCB Software), significant code can be shared between web and mobile.
