This would enable us to release an MVP even without animations, if we ended up not satisfied with the result. Since we lacked the experience of implementing animations in React Native, we decided to leave them for the end. Our designer did a great job creating the animations in Flinto, to help the developers know exactly what to develop. Since the design phase is always executed before the development begins, we knew right at the beginning that the app would have quite a few animations. I agree, there is nothing that makes the app look more polished than animations.

We are very design-driven and our designers, although very sensible to software limitations and constantly consulting with us developers, rarely let us compromise the design in account of faster-developed, but more ‘default-looking’ user interface. My native-oriented colleagues’ main concern was that the application will not be as smooth as when developed directly in Objective-C/Swift or Java/Kotlin and that we’d especially have problems implementing animations and customized parts of the app. The objective behind creating this app was for our iOS team to get a hands on experience with React Native, since I was the only one with prior experience building React Native applications. Just recently we published Simple Cycle - a mobile application for tracking menstrual cycles, available both for iOS in App Store and Android in Google Play. The goal was aimed at providing users a clean, intuitive screen to interact with and business teams with the best merchandising experience possible.React Native Animations - a quick overview January 10, 2018
