React Native and Expo apps that feel native on iPhone and Android, built once and shipped faster.

For most business apps, writing everything twice is wasted money. React Native with Expo lets us build one codebase that runs natively on iOS and Android, ship fixes over the air and share code with your web app, without compromising how the app feels.

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most often before someone asks us about cross-platform (React Native / Expo).

01

Paying for two teams

Separate iOS and Android teams mean double the cost, and the two apps slowly drift apart in features.

02

Fixes stuck in review

Every small bug fix waits for app store review, leaving users with the problem for days.

03

Worried it won't feel native

Older cross-platform tools felt clunky, so teams assume they must go fully native.

What's included

01

React Native and Expo setup

A modern TypeScript project with Expo's tooling for builds, updates and device features.

02

Native look and feel

Platform-appropriate navigation, gestures and components, so it feels at home on both systems.

03

Native modules when needed

Custom native code for anything the shared layer can't do, such as specialised hardware.

04

Over-the-air updates

Ship eligible fixes and content changes straight to users without waiting for store review.

05

Automated builds

EAS pipelines that build, sign and submit both apps consistently.

06

Code sharing with web

Business logic, types and API clients shared with your web app where it makes sense.

Questions

Cross-platform (React Native / Expo), answered.

Something else on your mind? Ask the Zelvorm Concierge in the corner, or talk to the team.

For the large majority of business and consumer apps, users can't tell the difference. Heavy 3D, complex audio or video processing, or deep platform features may still be better native.
