React Native has been gaining in popularity for one obvious reason: it allows developers to target different mobile operating systems with a single codebase. This means that you no longer have to build the same app for both iOS and for Android from scratch, and you don't have to forgo one or the other platform. 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, and Airbnb, and can only go from strength to strength.
To help keep you updated about the best React Native app templates on the market, we've compiled a list of the 10 best available at CodeCanyon for 2019.
React Native App Builders
1. React App Builder
