We can build feature rich iOS, Android or Web Apps Using React and React Native. UK React Native Developers.

React is an open-source JavaScript library for building web interfaces, and React Native is its mobile counterpart for building iOS and Android apps from the same code base.

We specialise in crafting applications using React Native for mobile and React (sometimes referred to as ReactJS) for the web. Leveraging the power of these frameworks, we deliver fast, scalable, and highly interactive web and mobile applications that enhance user engagement and experience.

React and React Native, both nurtured and maintained by Facebook, offer a solid foundation for creating applications that are not only responsive and user-friendly but also capable of handling the complexities of today's digital demands with ease. Whether you're aiming to captivate your audience with a sleek web application or engage users on mobile platforms, our expertise in React technologies ensures your project's success from the ground up.

Why we build with React and React Native

Made and maintained by Facebook

React and React Native are programming frameworks for creating responsive, reactive and scalable applications on both web and mobile. These frameworks boast a strong open-source community following and were created by Facebook to solve the challenges they encountered in creating their interactive social media apps.

Because they are open source, you are free to use these technologies within your own app projects.

A single code base

Traditionally every platform you wanted to launch onto required a completely new application to be developed, meaning brand-new code had to be created in a range of different programming languages. Android uses Java, Apple has C#, the web uses JavaScript and PHP, and so on. This has many negative commercial implications. Fragmentation creates logistics challenges with code versioning and deployment, source code cannot be reused across platforms, and no single developer is likely to have the full skills to work across all languages and platforms simultaneously.

React Native solves all of these problems, allowing everything to be built using a single language, JavaScript. Application programming used on the web can be used directly on mobile, creating a single, well-maintained code base.

Scalable and component based

The React framework requires new features to be built in the form of components — these can then be used anywhere within the application. For example, you may create a submit button component that can then be used anywhere. If you should want to update your submit processes later, then you can simply extend this button component, or drop it completely in favour of a new approach. This approach also works for larger components, such as payment mechanisms, or reporting tools.

As your application grows, you can be confident it has been built in a robust and scalable way that supports future extension. This is exactly why we chose to build the MODL app using React.

Curious about the difference between Web, Native and Hybrid apps?

We've written an in-depth article looking into the differences between each development approach, considering the trade-offs, and helping you to make an informed decision by referencing independent data on the state of React Native.

Interested in using React or React Native for your project?

The best framework to use, whether React or something else, will depend on what you are trying to achieve. It may be that a fully device-native mobile application is more suitable, or it may be best to use React for the application part of the website but not the app. Tell us about your project and we will talk through the options, then present a cost tailored to your requirements.

What Our Clients Say

  • Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

  • We're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.

  • I'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!

  • The new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.

    James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education
  • I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
