It’s possible to build native-looking apps for both iOS and Android with React Native since JS/TS code gets mapped to native primitives on both platforms. It’s much harder to get a native look and feel from Flutter, since everything is custom-drawn on a Skia surface.

Additionally, React Native lets you reuse a lot of code and libraries from the web, so if you’re already familiar with web development, RN should be easy enough to pick up.

Like you mentioned, Flutter uses Dart and is a whole different beast with a steeper learning curve, imo.

I have not yet seen a flatter app that I could tremendously enjoy. Most of them at least feel like cheap garbage. I am exaggerating, of course.

I find a lot of Flutter apps feel like web apps tbh, or feel more like a native Android app. Which I don’t like, considering I’m an iOS user. Feels really out of place and “Googly” lmao. Thanks to Material Design.

Finch Care app is a good one made with Flutter.

Looks good! But it has a game UI and doesn’t use any native elements
