React Native · Expo · TypeScript · iOS & Android from one codebase
React Native development: one codebase, both stores, real native features.
Reed Dynamic is a React Native development company in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We shipped GET Nursery App — barcode scanning, offline browsing, push, payments — in a 16-week MVP that drove 10× mobile sales growth. Same approach available for your product.
React Native lets one TypeScript codebase ship native iOS and Android apps. Reed Dynamic provides React Native development — architecture, UI, native modules, offline sync, backend APIs, and store publishing — with typical MVPs at $30,000–$90,000 in 12–20 weeks, from Michigan for clients nationwide.

React Native development FAQs
How much does a React Native app cost?
A shipping MVP for iOS and Android typically runs $30,000–$90,000 — roughly 30–40% less than building two native apps — with 12–20 week timelines. Offline sync, payments, barcode scanning, and back-office integration push toward the upper end. See pricing.
When is React Native the wrong choice?
When the app is primarily heavy 3D/AR, needs bleeding-edge platform APIs on day one, or is a thin wrapper around one platform's hardware. In those cases we recommend native Swift or Kotlin. For commerce, field service, portals, and content apps, React Native is usually the right call.
Do you use Expo?
Yes, for most new projects — Expo's managed workflow, EAS Build, and over-the-air updates cut release friction dramatically. We eject to bare workflow or write native modules when a requirement demands it.
Can a React Native app work offline?
Yes. We build local-first with SQLite/WatermelonDB or MMKV plus a sync layer with conflict handling, so field technicians and in-store shoppers keep working without signal. GET Nursery App browses previously viewed plants offline.
Can you integrate with our eCommerce platform or ERP?
Yes — Magento 2, WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, POS systems, Stripe, and ERPs via REST/GraphQL. We build the middleware too. GET Nursery App syncs inventory, pricing, and orders across multiple physical locations.
Do you upgrade or take over existing React Native apps?
Regularly. React Native version upgrades, New Architecture migration, dependency cleanup, and performance profiling are common engagements, as is taking over an app from a previous team.
