React Native has been gaining in popularity for one obvious reason: it allows developers to write code across different mobile operating systems. This means that you no longer have to build the same app for iOS and for Android from scratch or specialise in one or the other operating system. Now you can code apps for both platforms with the same powerful JavaScript technologies you use for building web apps.
Pioneered by Facebook and released as open source, React Native is being used by apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Airbnb, etc., and can only go from strength to strength.
To help keep you updated about the best React Native app templates on the market, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best available at CodeCanyon for 2018.

App Platform only came on the market in January but is already one of the best-selling app templates at CodeCanyon for the year. That’s probably because it’s a bundle of multiple apps that follow the same design and coding pattern, and it enables developers to create any number of apps including recipe, restaurant, events and/or shopping apps.
In addition as part of this bundle, developers also get the Firebase Admin Panel to be used as the admin for all the apps, from which you can manage the app content, layout and design, send push notifications, and manage orders.
