React Native is a native version of the popular web library of the same name and its major role is to bring the power of React to native mobile apps development. Listed below are the 10 popular applications that was built using React Native:
React Native commenced as Facebook’s hackathon project developed in response to the company’s needs. Facebook wanted to bring to mobile all the advantages of web development such as quick iterations and having a single team develop the whole application. That is how React Native was brought to life and leveraged in mobile app development for both iOS and Android apps. Originally, Facebook only developed React Native to support iOS. However, with it’s recent support of the Android operating system, the library can now provide mobile UIs for both platforms.
Facebook Ads
The social networking platform isn’t the only React Native application that was produced under Facebook’s roof. Facebook Ads was the first React Native app for Android and the first completely React Native based cross-platform app built in the company. The framework seemed suitable for a lot of complex business logic required to accurately handle differences in ad formats.
Walmart
Walmart has already proved its innovative attitude introducing Node.js into its stack. A few years later they also rewrote their mobile app to React Native. React Native allows great performance, nearly identical to native apps, and extremely smooth animations. (lowpricebud)
Bloomberg
Bloomberg’s new consumer mobile application for iOS and Android gives clients a streamlined, interactive experience with simple-to-access personalized content, videos, and live feeds featured across Bloomberg’s Media. Another advantage of React Native is that it automates code refreshes, accelerating the release of new product features.
Instagram accepted the challenge to integrate React Native into their existing native app.They began with the simplest view you can imagine – the Push Notification view, which was basically implemented as the Web View. The development team at Instagram faced a few problems on the way, but they substantially improved developer velocity. Thus the team was able to deliver the app much faster than they would have with a native solution.
SoundCloud Pulse
SoundCloud Pulse is an application for creators that helps them manage their accounts and keep their community humming.iOS developers were impossible to find and they didn’t want to have a huge gap between the iOS and Android releases.Therefore, an independent research team started to run user-testing sessions with React Native apps prototypes.
Townske
The app connects you with locals to get a list of their favorite places and creates a curated list of places to explore and experience as locals do. It’s not mandatory for users to have an account, which is great, as it allows you to quickly find the next location you want to visit. The resulting UI is highly responsive and feels fluid thanks to asynchronous JavaScript interactions with the native environment.This means the app is faster and has better load times than a typical hybrid app, and a smoother feel.
Gyroscope
Gyroscope enables you to see the complete story of your life; it’s the health app on steroids. Not only can you track steps, your workout, or your heart rate, but with the dozens of integrations, you can also track activities like productivity on the computer, or use sleep tracker and automatic AI to make sure you get enough sleep. Thanks to React Native the data is exhibited in two attractive, well-designed views: Simple and Cards mode
Wix
Wix is an online company that provides web hosting and website design services.Users can design and build their sites in HTML 5/CSS, as well as mobile websites, using drag and drop utilities. The company didn’t settle for any of these, they required extremely configurable navigation and screen options along with a properly maintained and updated codebase. That’s why they created their own wix-react-native-navigation.
Delivery.com
Delivery.com empowers the neighborhood economy by enabling customers to order online from their preferred local restaurants, grocery stores, wine and spirits shops, and laundry and dry-cleaning providers. React Native allowed the company to connect the map with the device’s functions like rotate, zoom, and the compass while utilizing less memory and loading faster.
