React Native has been gaining in popularity for one obvious reason: it allows developers to write code across different mobile operating systems. This means that they no longer have to build the same app for iOS and for Android from scratch or specialise in one or the other operating system. Now you can code apps for both platforms with the same powerful JavaScript technologies you use for building web apps.
Pioneered by Facebook and released as open source, React Native is being used by apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Airbnb, etc., and can only go from strength to strength.
This is why we’ve pulled together this list of the ten best React Native app templates currently available at CodeCanyon.
