Native-quality mobile apps, shipped with Expo.
Expo is an open-source platform for making universal native apps that run on Android, iOS, and the web with JavaScript and React. It provides a set of tools and services built around React Native, making it easier to develop, build, deploy, and iterate on mobile apps. Expo handles much of the complexity of native mobile development, offering features like over-the-air updates, push notifications, and easy access to device APIs without requiring native code, making it perfect for rapid development and deployment.

Pick the right tool — including when it isn't us
Framework and platform for universal React applications. We'll tell you honestly when Expo is the right fit — and when another stack would serve you better.
Use Expo when
Best fit- You need rapid prototyping
- You need cross-platform apps
- Fastest way to build React Native apps
- No native development experience required
Consider alternatives when
Not ideal- You only need a simple content site, not a native app
- Your app is 100% web with no device integrations
- You cannot support two platform release cadences
- Offline-first is not required and PWA is enough
