React Native App Development
React Native app development for startups and growing products
One codebase, two stores. We build iOS and Android apps in React Native and Expo with TypeScript - and you work directly with the senior developer who writes the code, from the first call to the store listing.

React Native vs native + AI
The questions teams ask before choosing React Native
AI makes writing code faster, but it does not make owning two codebases cheaper. Every feature, bug fix and store release still happens twice, in Swift and in Kotlin, and has to be reviewed, tested and kept in sync by people who know both. React Native gives you one TypeScript codebase for iOS and Android - and AI tooling speeds that single codebase up just as well.
Senior, founder-led
A senior React Native developer writes your app - not a junior team behind an account manager.
MakeFast is led by Marko Kukurekovic, who has built and shipped React Native apps to the App Store and Google Play for years. The person on your scoping call is the person in the codebase every day, with trusted designers and QA joining when the project needs them.

The challenge
Serving different users in one app
Different roles need different screens and permissions, and mixing them risks a confusing or insecure experience. Role-based access, paired with secure email and Google login, makes sure each person sees only what's relevant to them.
The approach
Keeping the map live
Ride hailing depends on showing accurate positions as they change. A real-time Google Maps view with the user's location drives ride search and selection, so choices are based on what's actually nearby.
The result
A ride flow that can grow
Booking, paying and reviewing past trips touch many parts of the app, and duplicated logic quickly becomes hard to maintain. The flow runs from a detailed ride confirmation to Stripe payment and ride history on a reusable, scalable code architecture that new features can build on.
What our React Native development covers
React Native & Expo builds
New iOS and Android apps from one TypeScript codebase, using Expo where it speeds things up and native modules where the feature needs them.
Cross-platform UI
Screens that follow iOS and Android conventions, styled with NativeWind and tested on real devices on both platforms.
Backend & integrations
Firebase, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Stripe payments, Google Maps and your existing APIs - wired in so the app works beyond the demo.
Performance
Slow lists, janky animations and long startup times profiled and fixed, not hidden behind a loading spinner.
Store release
Builds, signing, store listings and review for both the App Store and Google Play, handled end to end.
Senior, direct access
No account manager in between. The developer on the scoping call is the developer in the codebase every day.
AI-accelerated development
We build with AI, and a senior developer signs off every line
AI where it saves days
We use AI coding tools for scaffolding, refactors, test generation, migrations and documentation - the repetitive parts of a React Native build.
Faster delivery
Less time on boilerplate means more time on the flows your users care about, and first versions in weeks rather than months.
Human-reviewed
Every line is read and owned by a senior developer before it ships. AI writes drafts; people make the decisions.

How a react native app development project runs
01
Scope
A call about what the app has to do, then a written scope with the price, the timeline and what ships first.
02
Design
Clickable screens for the core flows, agreed before production code is written.
03
Build
Weekly builds on your own iPhone and Android device, so you see progress as it happens.
04
Ship
Store submission on both platforms, release monitoring and a handover of the code and accounts.
