We just shipped a financial/banking App with React Native and previous App was fully native. From our experience React Native is OK for iOS but having all sort of issues with Android. We have a very strong testing mechanism but we find that some odd bugs in production App. It's also something to do with Android as well and not just React Native fault. Also performance degradation was very visible on mid range Android devices
My main focus is JavaScript specialising in frontend UI with React. I like to explore different frameworks and technologies in my spare time. Learning languages (programming and real life) is a blast.

That’s a great point, supporting mid or low end phones with stricter performance budgets sounds challenging. I think the closer to native the better for performance.
I haven’t tried anything complex on Android, thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep that in mind when testing.
Sure. If you are using React Native navigation keep eye on iPad as well since we just discovered that app isn't even starting up for few specific iOS versions. It was something to do with launch screens
The mobile fin-tech app Brex uses Expo for iOS and Android. With things like the Hermes engine being created for Android, the speed increase makes it far more compelling than it was even a few months ago.
