Comment on Ask HN: React Native or Flutter for a new app in 2023?parent

Comments

I'm not primarily a mobile dev but have done enough Android/iOS appdev to prefer Flutter. Even if it was only for the Android version of an app, I'd choose Flutter over Android APIs because it's so fragmented and janky in its own ways. RN to me is the worst of both worlds (React + Android quirks).

Of course it depends on the app, if it has specific not-run-of-the-mill UX requirements. It's also better to start with Flutter (or RN) rather than switch from something else, as the feel is so different users would be put off by the change. Each is fast/slow in different places/ways.
