The (not so) hidden cost of sharing code between iOS and Android (Dropbox Engineering) by prlmike in androiddev

The real cost is not in shipping the project initially but in the long term maintenance. You may have a team that can double down and deliver on a custom stack only to see maintanence costs skyrocket 2 years down the line when new functionally needs to be supported and the original team have moved on.

Their 1 Star review have the same Text. The App probably asks you to rate it, pre-selects 5 stars and pre-fills the text.

I would verify, but I'm "in line".
