The moral of the RN story is don’t be half assed. Is 10x rebuild/iteration time reduction and JavaScript being at least 2x less verbose/tedious as either ObjC and Java code, on top of typical 90% JS code reuse between the platforms; is that worth switching from native for you? Then fully commit to progressively rewriting your app to 100% React Native screens.

Despite growing pains and instability of RN releases, I’m a happy camper with my app WonderSwipe. And that’s an easy decision as I started the app on RN entirely.
