Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the app look native on both platforms?
- Yes. React Native renders actual native components, and we apply platform-specific styling so the app feels right at home on both iOS and Android.
- Can you publish the app to the stores for me?
- We prepare all store assets, metadata, and screenshots, then submit on your behalf or guide you through the submission process.
- What if I need backend APIs too?
- The estimate includes a backend API. If you already have one, we can reduce scope and cost by integrating with your existing services.
