Now an exclusive React Native product! Expo independent and new additions.

In 2016, our purpose to facilitate an easy to use Uber-X app was weaved into reality with our **Taxi App based on React Native, built around [Expo](expo.io/)**. This app kit allows developers to create a custom service based application (not just a taxi service!) in their own style. The UI is fully customisable with ready-to-use backend integration that makes management of services easy and self-explanatory.

Sales have been great, the product is a sensation and we couldn’t be happier. That being said, feedbacks are crucial, as they assist us in making our products and services better, and it is on the basis of your support and feedback that we decided to go the extra mile and fill in the little gaps that needed to be filled.

For in-depth information on the Taxi App, read through **here**.

We introduce to you, a new and improved **React Native Taxi App 5.0, bundled with backend API’s and a web dashboard, built exclusively on React Native**. Now the elephant in the room begs the question, “Why re-do the app entirely?” Here’s why.

Moving away from Expo.

Initially, the Taxi App starter kit was based on Expo over React Native. Expo has its own set of advantages that made development easier and quicker, but it had its own set of disadvantages too. With the starter kit now based solely on **React Native**, developers have a wider assortment of customisations and features at their disposal. No more, are they limited by Expo support limitations. The new app kit is identical to the old versions, so there will be no compromise on efficiency and responsiveness.

A salient list of all the differences and features that make **React Native** a better choice for a starter kit is as follows-

· **React Native** offers the freedom to add any third-party integration for any feature that may be required according to your needs.

· The new **React Native Taxi App** now supports background task management and background location update service, when minimised. You can browse through everything on your phone and still know what your service status is.

· Payment gateways can be customized according to country or preferred payment methods. Earlier versions of the app were dependent on Expo support. Not anymore!

· For the developers, bridging between android and iOS for additional features is straightforward, based on React Native development rules.
