Join us on Discord 70K+ Discord members Peter Piekarczyk @peterpme Expo is amazing Adnan @adnansahinovich React Native and @expo is the best option by far, and can’t even compare to Xamarin or Dart & Flutter NicoDevs @Nico_Devs I love @expo, it made React Native dev so much easier. Firstly, it allows anyone to dev from any machine, even with very low specs and run the app on device with Expo Go app. Also, it includes so many libraries and the performance is crazy especially on Expo SDK 54 Nana Asante @asantenocturnal I love expo Antonin marchard @antomarchard The more time flies, the more I love @reactnative & @expo Adrian Carolli @icookandcode I love @expo for making my life so much easier! Simon Grimm @schlimmson It's almost shocking how much I take Expo API routes for granted at this point. I can't imagine working any other way, they are a natural part of every RN project I do. Hugo Duarte @hugoasduarte I love @expo so much! Was struggling to upgrade an old React Native app to the latest version for a few days without success. Created a new expo app, copied my src folder along with some package installs and was ready in just a few minutes! devon @devon_94 highly recommend @expo JD Conley @wackie if you're debating between raw react native and expo, choose expo. i tried years ago but it wasn't good enough. now the wrapper is winning. smooth dev environment. flexible. much better ecosystem and documentation. Melih Yumak @hadnazzar 🌟 Why choose #Expo for your next app? Enjoy the simplicity of building with one codebase for all platforms, access a rich library of pre-built components, and streamline updates with over-the-air changes—all without touching native code! 🚀 #ReactNative #js #100DaysOfCode :) waally @_mohawwal I love expo/react native Josh Gonsalves @joshgonsalves_ Makes sense. I do LOVE expo. miaugladiator11 @miaugladiator1 can 100% recommend expo is so much better than just pure react native imo Dane Grant @danecando Also, @expo is amazing getDerivedSwaggerFromHacker @hackerswagger Big enterprise app guy here. Expo is the best! In the time another team experimented with all the new repack module federation nonsense I've got our two apps using expo CNG and almost done with new architecture. We have a mini app architecture and it's a pain. Prince Ajuzie @princeajuzie7 dude, react native + expo is the best option out there. Patrick Aljord @patcito Just use @expo Build beautiful native apps Get started Recommended by Meta React Foundation Member SOC 2 Type II Compliant GDPR Compliant CCPA Compliant SSO Recommended by Meta React Foundation Member SOC 2 Type II Compliant GDPR Compliant CCPA Compliant SSO
