As far as other course i find it is much more efficient and well. Yeah ,it's great.

You'll have a working development environment after just two lessons! And sometimes a preconfigured environment is what makes you start coding rather than postpone it. During the course, I recommend watching lessons first, remembering the main goal, and then trying to meet it by memory in your code. This effectively recreates the process of app development. And what an invaluable experience it is to work with code intended for change rather than with a collection of fixed templates! 2024.08.02

Hi, I was able to take the React Native by Example course. This is a course I would recommend as it did help me understand the basics and get started on coding with react native. With the course, I was able to build 10 mobile applications, and add my own improvements to challenge myself. The courses go step by step and provide help if necessary. I would recommend this course to others looking to get started in React Native. Thank you!

It's a great intro to react native. Really enjoying and it's making me wanting to learn more.
Hugo L.
Very good course for the beginners to start with, each topic is explained very well.
Randhir S.
This is a really good introduction to the elements I commonly see across many different apps! The course shows me how to create a multi-screen app, how to create my own re-usable components such at a text box that has common attributes so I don't need to repeat code / markup. The course also shows us a suggested folder structure that helps tame the complexity of an app that scales to a number of different screens, and a bunch of other things like showing a "loading" icon while waiting for an API to return. I'm just mentioning a few things but there's a bunch of other cool stuff if you're new to React Native.
Jose D.
I love the way the project is presented, steadily building up and adding features as you go as the different concepts are explained. Really well done course.

Omoefe U.
I was blown away! I'm a huge fan of Wes Bos' react courses but he has nothing on React Native. Someone in that community recommended this course as being similar. Spencer is extremely knowledgeable, and clear. His examples are great and the progression is logical and well-placed, with nothing extraneous. He definitely helped me avoid some pitfalls in moving from React to React Native!
Michael B.
excellent! speaker was clear & concise!!
dover c.
Great class. Explained in a proper way without rushing like I saw in some other courses

The video class is an extremely helpful guide for people who are learning the basics of React Native. It also follows the standards mentioned in the React Native documentation.

React Native School Community
★★
I took this class because I was intimidated by Apple and Google and all the hoops you have to jump through to get an app published. This course showed me easier ways to deal with the process, how to set things up for future updates and just reassured me that I was doing things properly. Before I took it I was struggling to understand certificates and provisioning profiles, but this makes it pretty easy. Definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to streamline their publishing process.
Jonathan W.
Publishing a React Native App to the App Store
This class is awesome!!! I am a senior java developer (~10 years of exp) and I recently pivoted to react native due to change of job. If you want to quickly pickup really solid fundamentals to build your knowledge on, this is the course for you!
Michal Z.
A very explanatory and fast way to start programming with React-Native!
Jeff
There's lots of bugs I encountered, caused by my code as well as the installation with yarn/npm. There's lots of things I wouldn't have understood if I didn't know the basics of CSS and OOP. Although it's a really great intro for those who have coded something else but not react native
Andrew
I am a Computer Science student and beginner with React and JS. Very good and easy to follow intro course to both.
Joao C.
Not only is the course instructor very attentive but it's the first course and community I've been in (and I have been in many), where the instructor walks through every step. The tutorials and guidance given by Spencer and others are more in depth than anything else you'll find. I truly get the feeling that the goal of teaching is based upon the desire to solve problems and make solutions instead of just create tutorials and make a buck. The experience learned here cannot be replaced and I cannot recommend the content of React Native School Community enough. If you want to learn and understand, look no further.
Lorin L.
Great material straight to the point and clearly explained
Tapiwa M.
It was amazing.
Rafael O.
Great and thorough demonstration of an example currency conversion app. Not for a pure beginner, skips over a lot of things but this is just a fault of mine as I jumped into something without any relevant programming experience. Some discrepancies in the code done in the video vs what is available at the bottom of each lesson, but it will certainly teach you to troubleshoot!
Simon
I’m brand new to React Native!!! This was the most detailed and clear-cut explanation of react-navigation 5 I could have asked for. Very easy to follow and understand.
Alida
I am currently building an app piece by piece and learning as I go, taking what I can from multiple resources. This class has been the most comprehensive course on React Navigation I have found so far, saving me a lot of time and guess work for this specific feature of my app. This site has become my first choice for any other topics I may need.

Very easy to follow. I like how Spencer shows how to configure Prettier, EsLint which are technically not part of React Native but are very essential for using VS Code most efficiently.
Tony O.
No explanation how how to bootstrap a native project. Probably the hardest thing about learning native. I say this because I am a React developer (web)

How to Set up a New React Native Project
We take courses to learn something, and we want to learn in the best possible manner. I like to be able to reproduce what is presented in the course and then modify it to enforce my understanding. For any course to be useful the source code should be readily available, otherwise it is useless to my way of learning. I found that the "React Native Basics" course is excellent in this respect. I have gone through the course once, and now I am redoing everything and modifying segments of the code to better understand the concepts. This is the best course I have found on the internet - it clearly explains the concepts and has the source code readily available for the student to copy and experiment with it.
Nick C.
Excellent course, very informative, especially for a beginner like me. I would love to see more of these type of courses.
Rishabh S.
A very Wonderfully designed Course which helped me a lot loooottttt to build a basic understanding of Architecture, design and all the basic stuff which is actully needed
Qasim Z.
Excellent course. Quick and to the point. Would definitely recommend.
J. G.
Great intro to React Native. I really like how the course is set up: a short (5-10min) video going through a topic/component/pattern with all the code from the video shown right under the video window. I usually watch the video at 1.5x then try to write all the code from the lesson without referencing the code but if I get stuck or don't remember something I can quickly reference the code samples. I haven't seen this setup on udemy or other video tut platforms and it really, really helps me not only learn but solidify my understanding of new information. Plus Spencer is a great teacher.
fishwrists
Great course. Not quite for beginners, but perfect for intermediate programmers. Definitely learned a lot. Would recommend to anyone wanting to start with RN.

I do not think this is beginner friendly because this guy is like: we are changing this and that and thats how its done .. no explanation whatsoever, wanted to buy the paid rn example course but after this free one I do not think I am going to do that. However, I respect the effort and time dedicated to this course.
Jack
Amazing! Coming from a native mobile developer background, this got me up to speed very quickly in React Native. The first half the course was brand new and walked through it at an appropriate pace. I liked that we started with a simple screen to build knowledge, then jumped to a more complicated screen to get advanced. The second half should be familiar to anyone who's done mobile before (presenting new screens, passing data back and forth between screens, updating data and UI based on API response), so it was a great way to bridge my existing knowledge to a new language.
Jill C.
I learned a lot. This course is amazing for self-taught RN Developers, it teaches you the best practices in the best way.

this is a great clear course, and very useful. and I am looking for more advanced courses for react-native.
This is my first time taking react native course. The explanation in this course is so clear. I just follow suggestions by watching the video first, then I replay it while coding it line-by-line , it worked really well. I can see the big picture of react natice really clear now.
Ilham A.
Great course! Spencer's explanations are very clear, concise and to the point. Video playback quality is also good, which is a big reason I chose this course over some courses on Udemy.

Great Work Everything is Fine . Would You please upgrade Navigation to V5
Hamid T.
I am doing the course a little late since launch, and there are quite a few changes when working with android the libraries have been updated but it is still possible to do the course, the only Error i couldn't fix was React.Children.only expected to receive a single React element child. Video: handing Errors This happens when in the index file export default () => <AlertProvider> <Navigator /> </AlertProvider>; Thanks for the course Note: I am not an English speaker, but I understand many things by context
Every thing is great but, it is not UPDATED !. ( ie navigation V5)
Very easy to follow along with and cleared up so many questions I had about React Navigation

M H.
This is amazing and clear course, so I am looking for more courses to learn more.
Notes were very helpful all throughout the course, It was well provided in each lessons or modules but some codes are not already working in the newer versions, the new syntax usage for propTypes.<type> for example, using isRequired is forced by eslint. However, the setting up of plugins such as prettier and eslint actually saved me enough time to deal with these type of errors, warnings and bad practices of coding.
Overall good, except there is a bit outdated package in video, but already update on source code
Ali N.
At the moment nothing is missing. I'm new to react native and it's all clear! :)

Nothing, but this is for your benefit, don't be satisfied satisfaction is a disease.

Younus
about react navigation course update, now updated to version 5.0, thx!
kao
Good job overall. Very understandable and at a decent pace for someone who knows nothing about react-native. The only thing that I would have liked much more, is that there are things that you do not explain and force the apprentice to look for and make his own idea of what you are doing ... Many times you say what you are doing, but not why you are doing it
Hugo V.
The only issue with this course is that most of the contents are outdated
Jude
Good teacher, good resources and organized commit history of the course files. Needs some updating for the new changes to React, React-Navigation
I like that I am able to get a hands on experience with creating an app. It is a good guide and tutorial for learning your away around using React Native and begin understanding the basic concepts of how it works and how it all comes together. I don't like that there were steps skipped at the beginning of the tutorial in creating a new app for beginners. Additionally, instructions can seem a bit vague at times, and there are many things covered without much explanation as to their purpose or functions.
Danny
awesome

Mfundo
More about rendering options with ios and android
This course is an excellent walkthrough of react-native. I wish it were a little more updated as i've come across some issues that didn't have an explanation of how to solve. Ex: The @expo/vector-icons were unusable after attempting to resolve the multiple errors I ended up just adding images to the asset folder and moving on.
A lot of valuable information even for an experienced developer. However it will be even more valuable if you could explain not just how to do it, but also why we should do it in a that specific way.
I really enjoyed the first 4 modules but after that its all redux stuff... and I think that was may be the thing to learn in 2017 but now we need to learn hooks and context. But I really enjoyed the course its amazing and I really think its a great effort for the community.

Really Loved it. Even you know react-native, this amazing course help me understand some basic which you can not grasp using other tutorials. Highly recommend it for people who want to learn react-native.
there was a slightly defferences between ios and android, and the package has a lot of update.
Great walk through a nice introductory project.

Over-the-Air Updates with CodePush
Alert component throwing up error
Detailed "real world" explanations. Managed the slight differences in both android and IOS very well. Example project is complex enough to learn a lot
Gideon
This course was super valuable, I learned how to write components for a React Native app and how to use Expo. Additionally, after following this course I found my mobile app project to contain a lot of clean code with modular components and meaningful variable names.
Marianna
What I did not like was dealing with so many Expo SDK version issues at almost each module. Additionally, the information in Module 7 is outdated and when I published the Currency Currency App the app wouldn't load because the SDK needed to be a version of at least 33.0.0. However, this course was very helpful for learning how to publish using expo, how to use extended stylesheets and react navigation to make development easier. Note: This review is in combination of my first review I submitted before this one.
Marianna C.
Well, i took notes since the beginning so i would be able to apply your way of coding in my Bluetooth project and i was really focused and extremely happy because i was being able to structure everything i would need in my head but when the redux thing happened i got a bit overwhelmed, i read a lot of documentation in between videos and i have a lot of information to process. I'm still very excited to do it because i still can structure everything in my head apart from the how i would handle the constant async values being received by bluetooth altough i already started looking into it and there might be a solution within all those saga functions. Probably it can be similiar to an api request (since the pairing with the device is just like that), but after being connected and monotorizing a service with a specific characterisic, i don't know how i'll handle it to put it into a chart etc. I got it working with hardcoding inneficient scripts so with your tecnhiques and tricks it might get where i want to. I only started working 1 and half month ago and altough my boss liked what i did i wasn't happy with the end result and i flt like there were so many pieces missing that i didn't know about (redux, saga, navigation etc) so thanks a lot for making my brain work !
José
Excellent job man, very well structured and extremely thorough
SJudge
I liked that part of UI creation how easy it can be code without a hassle in react native. Some part of the explanation were missing in the course (just improve the explanations little more - how something is behaving, how these function calls behave, etc.)
Loved everything about it, made me re-start my whole project from scratch to be more efficient, scalable and ready to use on a team environment. Maybe you'll talk about it in the next videos but i'm curious how you would handle the organization of the project if you had an async component constantly receiving values, (In my case is a bluetooth heart rate sensor) Thanks a lot for this free one !
Wonderful thing, thank you!
I really liked the course so far, I like that you try to keep some notes to update if some API's changed or not since you recorded the videos, that's very helpful. The only thing I feel like is that there's quite a lot of boilerplate that could be avoided in a course, like setting up 3 files per component, I understand this is related to project structure but it's not the most important thing when someone is trying to learn React Native. I really appreciate your effort on this course, I intend to go through it all! Congratulations 👍

The rating may be a little unfair as this is a free course. Spencer is a 5-star teacher and has a very good grasp of React Native. The only reason why I gave it a 3 was because many of the course content were outdated and answers were not easy to come by.
Kenneth
Materinya bagus , namun saya kurang suka tidak terjemahan bahasa Indonesia di video tersebut
What I like: Good course content/structure, learnt many things to get started with React Native. What I do not like: Many coding/libraries are outdated. Code in video isn't the same as code downloaded. Doesn't work well with new iPhone, doesn't work with Android.
I loved all the learning offered, very valuable information. WELL DONE!!
JP
I like that you explained why you did things the way you did because not a lot of tutorials do that. I'm very much not a coder that needs to know the reasoning behind why you do things a certain way. It wasn't as updated as I'd liked so I spent a good amount of extra time working with updated packages, and the breaking changes that come with it, because I figured it'd be better to work with the most up-to-date packages. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I also kind of wish we'd gone through deployment to the App Store not using Expo. It's easy, free and great for starting out so I can see why you did it. I have your other course and I'm hoping there is more info in there on deploying to the App store. Overall I learned a good amount even though I've been working in React Native for over a year.
Ash
Very well structured course, I enjoyed it a lot. Only one thing was missing which is proper introduction to React Native (components, rendering, state, etc), the development process and also parts for handling the web part of react native apps
The course is a little out of date, maybe you should alert it somewhere. I've had some problems with Ionicons (probably related to something I did wrong), and for the navigation things, I had to look at their documentation, which is not a problem, but maybe you should write a note or something. Also, the copy-paste Alert made me feel bad...
I liked everything.. Passionately explained and learning more than i already knew which is a plus
JPMC
Having proper setup for development helps a lot and this course is bang on.
Yogendra S.
I am a blind developer and expo because you have to scan a barcode is not accessible for blind people but react-native with react-native-cli is as far as I could get. Wish the creaters of expo want to make a option to type in your barcode and not just scan. So can not complete the course. Thank you
Hendrik
Very good explanation of concepts - could improve a bit if: for the out of date content, could add some in-video-popup text bubble to say what is different in current version, that's how I have seen it done before, also could improve a bit by not repeating the boilerplate imports typing in every lesson, it's OK in the first few, could start the lesson with boilerplate typed already to save some time. Keep up the good work!
Manos
I liked the routine of creating components with their own files and importing them to the screen. I was easily able to understand a practice for creating React Native apps.
Review What did you like, what did you not like, what was missing, etc.?
Thắng
No basic explanation of React-Native or what components are what is render, etc. It can be real confusing for a beginner to get familiar with the concepts along with the course.
I liked how you cover the basics of React Native
Jee M.
I liked the topics that were covered, I just didn't like that the voice was a little bit low in some parts and some noise in the background
Diego
every thing was good. i just some problem in learning redux saga.
behzad
It's a little outdated at this point but it did point me in the right direction of stuff to take a look at and use.
This course introduced the essential react native components for building an interesting app. I feel comfortable to start my project after this course.
Linda C.
Great.wonderful awesome and so on :) Thanks, especially for Github. I have just a problem in option screen part get error when use Ionicons.'Unrecognized font family Ionicons' I search it and tryed solutions but none of them did not work. plz Help :(
Behzad
This was like a super compressed jump start as I am yet to get my feet wet and dive in this weekend at (I just started this not before leaving the office). Thanks for the time and effort put into your content, quite resourceful.
Naatwilwe
Nice summary yet very detailed
Nahabi W.
I thought the course was awesome, now I know how to set up a react project!:)
Khalif
Clear explanation, but some codes could not work due to version problem
Its absolutely amazing tutorial as a free! Thanks
Mr K.
Nice course for starters. But i don't like, it covers Expo installation type only
Alexey
It was informative.
Mārtiņš V.
Everything was quite good. Faced some issues 1. fixer.io is not allowing to change base currencies for free 2. How will I get android n iOS builds that I may upload on app store
As a beginner a think this is 100% good
Adrian
Could have been bigger with more functionalities
It's quite good and thorough. I'm trying to think what would improve it but nothing comes immediately to mind. I would love to have a course on having a full login menu and system allowing users to login in using facebook or Google or just have an id and password and all the security that entails. Maybe you have that already?
A G.
I would like to learn about how to use database.
Bishnu
I liked the course. Don't know yet wha't missing.
over 5 years ago
I liked that even some videos are outdated there is always a link to the repo with the new code
It is beautiful course, thanks!
Maksim
Actually what I found missing is, you should have given a small example of react navigation between 2 screens
Abhi S.
Very information dense, which is great for my learning style! Didn't waste my time.
Nathan B.
great tutorial, video is a little fast if you're coding along w it. had to check out completed code a lot.
Very nice build up to a great pay off!
More clarity on functions
Puts the bar high enought and makes me design and organize better my own projects.
I missing the details of the last video in the module of react-navigation( handling errors).
Yves I.
Wonderful course! I came across a lot of issues due to older and newer versions being in conflict, but it was helpful attempting to debug them and I learnt a lot. Appreciate a lot for putting this course together.
Abdul M.
ESLINT throws this error "Unable to resolve path to module 'react-native' import/no-unresolved" - I followed your tutorial perfectly but can't get past this
This is so retarded. Why run prettier which changes all the formatting, only to run lint:fix straight after that changes it all back?? No man.
First of all thank's. Every steps was right to follow. It's very helpful for me to write a clean code step by step. Again Thank's.
Abu S.
Great explanation
Ekas P.
You are amazing in teaching, good job! This is helping me immensely. You cover a lot of material, I could not ask for more. Sorry I can't provide you with any constructive feedback, but you're doing everything great. I will make sure to donate.
Constantinos
Very good lecture. Would be great to understand also the differences between expo cli and react-native init. Is it enough to build a real application(without 3rd party libraries)?
Dima
Would it be possible to update the course with a module using the new context API instead of Redux? :)
i love this course.
everythings good so far. if possible update to current standards for the modules/packages used
I liked that the tutorial was easy to follow. What I did not like is that some of the code is outdated for the current React Native.
Francis C.
Clear and full details
Diem H.
Teaching me react-native essentials and important fundamentals early on. Love it.
Xavier
Interactivity was awesome!
Keyvan M.
I don't like exporting all through the index file. I like stucture of the course, I mean all lessons named and grouped by themes.
Aleks
I did like all the course, its very explicative. But people have to know that this course isn't for a rookie, you've to had some knowledge about javascript
Manuel H.
very good lession
uditha
It was all good! but i think it would be better if you reproduce this tutorial with new versions. it was kind of challeng for me to find out about changes. the only think i couldn't find out was about change animating ImageBackground. could you please tell me about it? how to resize it? it was not as what you showed in the tutorial.
Keyvan
very good
k.u.p.chaturanga
Very nice
Venkata S.
I like it, it's awesome. I can't say what's missing, it doesn't seem perfect but it's very useful and a great introduction to react-native. Thanks a lot for your effort.
I thought this was a perfect tutorial to get started learning React Native! Thank you for putting this together!!
It was good for the beginners
Arvind C.
I feel like individual things could have been explained more, as it's a 'basics course'.
I really appreciated this course. It helped to get me up and going very quickly. I was already somewhat comfortable with React, but this example really pushed me into react native. I have a much better understanding of design practices, how to create modularized code, and the libraries react native leans on to make magic happen. After publishing my application to Expo, however, the logo and status bar seem to have disappeared. I am uncertain as to why this has happened.
Caleb D.
excelent couse!!
cristian a.
Good basic introduction, needs an update in some parts to reflect changes in components used but otherwise good content.
Second comment: I like how you made Redux understandable. Unfortunately, in beginning Module 6, my good internet connection fails to "yarn add redux-saga@any version I try". Does the redux-saga npm package have a problem? Versions I tried: 0.16.0, 0.16.2, 1.0.2
Gordon
I really liked module 3. The lessons are great and I really appreciate the breakdown of how to handle cross platform issues.
Mack D.
I learned a lot. I had some trouble keeping up with Spencer as I was typing along with him, but I managed. I had trouble installing the redux-saga package, but finally just set my yarn timeout higher for that command and it worked.
So far I like your explanation, it's easy to understand and fun to learn. Keep up the good work!
Hasan E.
Excellent so far! Bravo mate! I totally like the pace of your tutorial, the fact that we watch the Motion Capture first, and the fact that you keep re-typing same code (for example with ExtendedStylesheets).
George K.
You covered everything and kept the files updated
Rich
I'm enjoying it! I got stuck for a bit in Module 3 around Animating the Logo, until I saw the note about things changing and read the File Changes. Now I'm having trouble with the icons. They only show chinese characters even if I use hard-coded 'ios-arrow-forward' or 'md-arrow-forward'.
I liked that the course covered a lot of the little things that many online teachers forget or omit because they think most people know how to do them, for example linting, prettier. my concern is that looking at your different courses and videos, things change all the time, are these hints and tips up to date? are there easier ways to do things now? do you lay out your projects differently now? has react native changed in ways that make some of these practices obsolete? something that seems to be missing is git, it is mentioned but not explained. overall, these courses lay everything out simply, the content is not rushed, nor is it dragged out, the speech is clear and succinct and the videos are of high quality.
Robert
Hands on description and resolution of problems. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sambit P.
Okay, so I think there's be some upgrades in react-native since the tutorials was made. I had to get my way around certain things myself. But on a general scale, I have learnt so so much from this course and I hope to learn even more! Thanks Spencer
Henry M.
this will be my recommendation as go to course for all the react native developers from React, well done dude !! likes: course pace, explanation, course organisation.
harish s.
so far so good! Thank you.
Nhan N.
Loved the way you presented, talked, and provided enough details to understand. Certainly look forward to see your other courses.
Omer
I like this tutorial just because of providing video to understanding everything.
Ankit S.
The good: very well structured and you explain things very well. The bad: splitting UI components into index, style and component itself files generates too much boilerplate that might distract beginners and consumes valuable time each time a new UI component has to be created. I know it might be considered good practice, but it could be left for a more advanced course.
A huge set of assumptions are being made
Axesh A.
Great Job
Everything great currently.
Silently dangerous. Cutting edge course. good teaching skills. love the inner tips explanation sheets.
marc
Organize projeto is good. Routes config isn't good. The update module navigation use missing.
Jeftar M.
Great course, still a lot of concepts are direct thrown like PropTypes, and other properties. Would be great if links on wheer to refer different properties are shown
It was a good fast overview of setting up a new project, but it was definitely for advanced React developers who have already done some other tutorials.
Klaus M.
The course is really great, however you need to update it. PropTypes has been updated, Alert doesn't work, using iconions throws an error. You should encourage students to submit PRs as that is an important lesson unto itself.
Ronny E.
some lessons contaons deprected things
I think everything was covered.
As a beginner, I find this course to be very helpful. But it would be better if you have provided some examples.
Midou
theme when base currency or quote currency change the primary color is loading
sakthivel
everything is coded that's the best part. some snippet not matched with videos but i can understand due to versioning. easy to grasp for beginners. answered almost all questions that come into mind during tutorial. great work :)
Usman
Explanation
Nagesh
till the navigation every thing was explain great
Figuring out what was out of date i.e. propTypes
The course cover the basic concepts needed for build a large application and that all i need.
Jesus V.
I think it's really great so far
Wilmerson d.
Really good the way you teach react native, everything was easy to understand
Marina C.
I like the examples in the course and it's awesome have the code to validate doubts.
Updates to new version.
RP
It's really good to start learning with react native.
Hemant
I have worked on React on the web, but not with React Native, so I liked the fact that your recommendations for things like Prettier and ESLint, and their importance, fit with my experience! That gives me confidence in your React Native recommendations. I also liked the pace - I'm going to be checking out some of your paid courses next!
Matthew B.
Its a great introduction about project scruture, thank you.
Pedro S.
The android emulator setup is out of date i think. I am unable to launch android simulator. I added the lines export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools to my bash file in home, but still says no android device.
Nick F.
missing some good video controller for streaming
Nima M.
Do you set up any ui kit in the react native app or any animation kit?
Jyotirmoy
Great content
Very didactic!
Ale P.
Now somethings are outdated but I guess that is the nature of development. It could be a bit clearer noted though with some huge red letters or something, for example that the navigator has changed? Everything else is good, good pacing, relevant content. Thank you!
Adam
I'd prefer a deeply explanation about Alert error section
Elvis
I liked this course very very much! Thank you for providing us with this such good course, I am new in react native and I already learned a lot with your course! Just again Than YOU a LOT!!!!!!
Dmitriy G.
give some tasks after module or some props about how I can play with options of libraries, alternative libraries witch can be used and props and cons of each of them
Ihar P.
I like all the covered subjects, now I'll start the "production ready" course. I'll only ask you to update of refactor the code to not to use the deprecated methods (componentWillReceiveProps, and the old context api). Aside from that, I had any problems folowing it. Congrats Spencer!
Jorge D.
Most of the subjects still work with the newer versions. I would like to see the Alert component using the new context version, though. It's really great! Congrats
Diego A.
Informative
Tarek A.
This course is awesome and easy to follow. More power :)
Genesis B.
Style explanation
Navin K.
great video and detailed steps
David
I like how informative and easy to follow it is.
Hunter S.
this course is very easy to understand and neatly structured
One word Brilliant. Very well organized and explained. Thanks
Zain Z.
Just needs to be slightly updated, but still really good in 2019
The course it is pretty good, it is a little bit outdated but still dig in with the core react concepts.
Felipe S.
It is not up to date. I did not like the "Handling Errors" left unexplained, I think you should explain it as an skipable extra instead.
This was an excellent course! I think the Redux / Saga part could have included a bit more explanation for a newcomer. Fortunately, I already have a little experience with it; so, it wasn't too bad. You've done a great job of introducing someone to React Native with a realistic, useful app.
Justin N.
I've taken several paid React Native intro courses. This is by far the best training I've received - for free! I'm also fairly experienced with React Native, but I've still learned a great deal from this course.
It moves too fast for someone without JS experience (I'm a native iOS dev). For example, the presenter seems to type as fast as possible and then immediately change screens. Also, it would be nice if things that were happening were actually explained, like what is 'require', better explanation of how Props and such work, etc. Basically what is happening behind the scenes from a technical/language perspective.
It's a really good course, I appreciate it
Khalil E.
For the Beginners, It's the best course to be followed to create a simple react native app
Himaxi
Really nice course - really enjoy it so far. You're really fast so I have to pause often though haha.
Aurélie
It is the best course , all the concepts are clear about installing packages and coding of react native.
Preyasha
I like the whole course it's amazing, but I didn't know how to save data after fetching it or changing theme, I mean save it after closing app.
Ritta I.
Spencer Carli's React Native course is the best value for the money I have spent learning while learning a new technology. Not only do you build a functioning app but along the way you learn the industry's best practices. I personally found Spencer's technical explanations to be helpful as I do not like to write code without knowing why or how it works.
Toul C.
Your step-by-step approach is awesome. I also enjoy that we're building a fairly complex app to start.
Android navigation works differently
almost 6 years ago
I think some parts needs update
Expo seemed to me very unstable. I would like to see the use of React Native without expo.
Sergey
great
Bharath
Repetition was welcome. Outdated react native code made it difficult to debug
I really really like this tut and he did a really good job out of it! He knows what he's talking about! =D What disturbs me a lot is that usually Frameworks update very fast and usually old methods to do things change drastically every....day almost! And updating the code to a newer state is very hard or.... it takes a lot of time. And I have to keep cheking every time how to implement what he's saying with the newer and only way to do it....... Its cool since u learn a lot when you search for things to make it work but the learning curve drops off a lot and sometimes im like "damn... I want to but I dont want to continue with this tutorial because I haven't figured out how to do what he's saying..." Either way, is a really good tutorial ^^ cheerS!!!
Steamless
Awesome explaining of basics in RN.
Andrey
best
bharath
i like this lesson
ori
The teacher speaks too fast. Maybe the problem is that English is not my native language, but in other courses I usually do not rewind video every minute. When the teacher writes the code, the previous code is closed with a hint from one of the vscode plugins. Seriously, it is very annoying. And it prevents to cover more than one line of code.
I like everything u teach tell, nothing was miss, it's awesome ! great job.
Khalid
Awesome tutorial!! Speak more about foundations of apps, and architecture. I can then look up API etc.
Zane
You do not explain what software you will use on the course
Iago H.
I particularly love the note on top of the video when there's a change to react native. It made learning so easy for me as I didn't have to go searching for answers online.
Overcomer
everything was awesome
Vlad P.
the explanation was extremely clear. Some times when we enter the hard topics like Redux it was boring first, I had to take break, repeat some modules. But In the end I can say that, I understand well. Unfortunately fixer.io api changed. And I couldn't follow the Redux Saga session properly. But I think, understand the logic. I am planning to make a weather forecast app for understand well this section.
mehmet s.
I have done two paid courses on react native but I still couldn't wrap my head around it. This is the best course I have done so far on React Native. I feel good doing it now. I would also like if the new way to import prop types is also indicated in one of the lectures so that newbies won't spend a great deal of time trying to work with prop types. Bt this is still a great course so far. Thanks to the tutor.
Kehinde E.
I did love the way the author shows all the bits and parts that need to be used. Not only the basic 3rd party libs are introduced but it is also explained how to elegantly integrate them in the app architecture so that future maintenance will be ok. Really great tutorial! However I assume that this tutorial is for newcomers in RN with some solid experience in s/w development (web, native, backend, etc...) and not for those who lack any software development experience (learning javascript).
#ERROR!
Great !!
Minh
How do you find "Duck" approach for redux, when each business component has its own reducers and actions inside its folder. Also as an idea - would be cool to hear top 10 libs you are using the most =)
Vladimir
I wish you went into detail about why you are using certain syntax. Other than that it is a great tutorial and a great source for me to reference to.
Fore
Love the way you laid out the contents, introducing bits by bits, then slowly tie the components to the screens, the screens to the navigation, along the way, I also learned how you structure the codes to make the pieces stay together in one folder in its own component folder etc. That said, I'd put all the images in one folder higher at the top of the tree structure, thinking ahead to CDN and how to break out pieces that don't often get modified or change.
Minh N.
I like the pace of course learning stuffs and also best practices that I've never learned so far, like how to have a general alert system for the entire app. that's wonderful! I also wanna mention some changes that happened to this module. First, Navigation V3 differs a little bit that worth to notice. Second, in android there is some whitespace between header and StatusBar in other pages (not Home). I solve that by removing 'cardStyle' from routes and add that media query in styles of Header component for android (not sure that worked in iOS!).
Ali R.
I like the step-by-step structure; I know some things in React have changed so some more detailed notes on those changes would be good (e.g. I had to Google and link the gesture handler in order to use navigation)
Nahabi
Everything is good. proptypes from react package is deprecated.
UMAR T.
Every bit as good as the best 'Learn programming online' paid classes. Although I would classify this in the 'like' column, there were a few deprecated things (react navigation 3 being released since) but its enough to make you actually have to figure a few things out yourself.
Marcus
Better if it'll get upgraded to latest versions of react and npm. In addition, I would like to work with you closely and need you to be my mentor.
Manoj
The content
Fernando C.
The up to date code diffs have been super useful. A lot of times the courses become out of date and loads of time is spent trying to debug, but having the code diffs reduces this effort.
Spencer's courses and tutorials have been an immense help to me on my journey to become an Android and iOS mobile app programmer. He has taught me to better utilize the React Native component model--which, along with its cross-platform nature is really its core strength and saves one from redundancy. All this, and he has always been there with an answer when I've run up against one of those frustrating coding problems as well! I recommend his courses highly.
Ken W.
I've been doing React/React Native for about @ years now and I still learnt some new things.
I like content of the course
The course is amazing and too good to be free. High point for me was the dev structure and tools config. Thanks Spencer, great content.
I got an error while starting my app, it said it could not connect to metro bundler
Casey
I liked all, maybe you should have explained some react and react-native basic concept connected to the different element introduced.
Graziano
I like Component based file structure so that we can maintain our app easy. And EStyleSheet really awesome feature. No other tutorial explained like this. My friends feel like writing too much code compare to Ionic framework, but we learned how to swim while diving into code. Missing parts are how to use Redux.
Arunraj C.
i like your style of teaching, how you put the pieces together show great understanding of what you're teaching. i wish you could do a course writing tests in react
Bisi
I think the course is missing an authentication section so it can be complete. But overall I really enjoyed the instructor
Missing your VS config. Share the user settings :) BTW very good course.
Overall is a good course (also free) i would like to get deep dive into redux and saga, because it is very confusing all the data flow and name for the reducers, actions, store, etc. I still can not connect everything in my mind to make sense.
Sebastian
explained everything very nicely and in simple language, practical examples. the error handling stuff (AlertProvider, connectAlert)
Raheel J.
Awesome Explanation
I like the way you organize the code and explain some basic things, but sometimes you go so fast that is a bit difficult to follow you without make mistakes in code. Besides, some outdated sections are complicated to fix without a deep search on github & stackoverflow, i would like to have comments section in every video for feedback with other students. I am currently thinking about taking some of your payed courses, which one would you recommend me to take?
Sebastian M.
I liked the whole course it was easy to understand and very useful the only thing that I would like to know and was missing here (IMO) is about react native init projects and how different they are comparing to your method?
Arya F.
The way you arranged your boilerplates was excellent
Ehsan E.
really nice, discovering fundamentals api of react native
Youssef
the explanations are very clear, you show very useful library and how to use them step by step (i just saw the video abut using prettier with lint and lint-staged - very good!)
or
android details (currencies list doesn't drag down (Currency List Modal), how to change styles of dropdown alert (status bar overflows the top of the alert)), update dependencies to the latest one,
radmir
I was hoping you would tell you how to build an apk file and share it on Google Play.
Alexander
Russian language :)
It's a great starting point for react native. I just have a little work with eslint & prettier. For eslint I had to use different command for initializing (because I use windows) [that's > node node_modules\eslint\bin\eslint.js --init] And for husky your way of writing scipt in package.json file is deprecated and I suggest you to change that part to this: { "husky": { "hooks": { "pre-commit": "..." } } } Generally that was great and I love it!
Your workflow in React Native is the awsome and it's the most important thing some can learn from your course.
Marcin A.
instead of ignore jsx rule for airbnb lint, you could do this instead: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/5233#issuecomment-442279996
It's a fantastic course to organize React Native project. I flow this project structure for all my React Native projects after watching React Native basics Currency Converter course. Overall I liked everything in this short course.
Hussain T.
Just great! Everything!
Crimson
lack of explanations what some thing do under the hood.
It teaches good patterns to go with, but it is also outdated (at least at the moment)
Victor W.
dani
I liked the straight forwardness and not having to go through a 30 minute tutorial of daunting details to get the concept and overview of the tools.
this is simple
Alfa C.
It was a good review, I picked up a few things along the way to make things easier. I didn't know that single quotes is the standard, I have prettier in VSCode and it converts them all to doubles, I'll have to setup eslint to make them all single again. Is there a way to tell Prettier to leave them alone? (I could probably google that). Also - Stylesheets come first? is that an Airbnb thing?
Android focus to the course
Vignesh N.
THIS IS GREAT!!! Thanks dude
Thanks for awesome course. All sections are clear. Expression is very fluent.
I don't like the noise in 2 videos (perhaps my headsets)
Damien
Very good beginner 101 videos and it shined light on my learning. Would like to see how you connected to git. :) But nice job .
It was a very fast and very deep overview!
Zoltan T.
It's missing comments and interactivity. I am trying to get things working, but he's talking from Mac point of view, and glossing over commands for linux without telling us how to actually spell what he's writing, or showing us what we actually need too type. So, after several minutes on Google, I find the command and: it didn't work, and there's no community of people to write to to find out how others solved the problem.
Rowan
Very precise
Shoaib A.
Nothing was missing. The perfect thing about this course was teaching how to design a real-world app in a professional way. Thanks a lot .
Celal D.
Great course for at newbie just starting to learn about react native
All is awesome
Code version mismatch and some basic idea was not clear. Some basics of react and file structure would have been very beneficial.
HukkaHua
I think that it's the very best free course I've ever had. I'm a newbie with react native, after 3 days looking for some directions I found this course and now I'm already working with react native. Probably in these lessons you must have more written descriptions of the code, for an advanced user it's not need, but for a newbie it will help. Thanks again for this. Greetings from Aveiro - Portugal.
Nuno F.
Everything is great! The thing I like the most is the perfect English. And also it's great that the course contain Redux and Sada. Thank you very much!
Anastasia K.
Thank you so much when you share this course for everybody. I very great!
Hoang T.
Very useful to start working. Needs a recent update, it's better. Keep going.
Good course for beginners. Excellent work.
Marija
about 6 years ago
Great course. Looks like a good starting point for learning react. Course creator does not talk about how certain packages work, he tells their purpose and uses them. So if you want to learn more about how redux works, you will have to do it on your own.
Coa
Amazing course, learn't so much along the way thank you.
Louise M.
It is one of the first courses about React Native that deals with all the fundamental aspects for the development of a real app. Superawesome!
Federico P.
Thank you for the course! I think it would be nice to add some tasks for homework, something simple to do by myself.
Wow, all these things are very important, probably a lesson with all the specific react-native modules it would be nice. Greetings from Portugal.
Ferreira
The course is very well structure. What sometimes is not very nice, is the popup on the code, with the functions documentation that covers up what is been typed. I am the type of person that has to type along.
Kelly
It gives the starter a orientation into react-native setup, which you find it anywhere.
Balu R.
everything is fine keep it up..

There are some legacy code that unable/should not use anymore, such as <Image> inside <Image>, should be <Image> inside <ImageBackground>, which leads to another problem about the animation. The api had changed since then, the api url is different, and not free to use query ?base anymore, I suggest change to https://exchangeratesapi.io which has similar structure Otherwise, it's a best react native course I have learnt, thank you very much
Bang N.
Great course, Easy to understand. I hope you would add testing in the future.
Ichsan K.
Pretty!
pablo
First of all, worked awesome. one thing, why did you import styles.js in index.js? and second thing is, not working the navigation in CurrencyList, when click to any list item, it doesn't go back to the home page. Tell me if any changes made to. Thank you..:)
Liked : Practical example with step by step explanation.
Loving it so far! I've been away from RN for a little over a year, so this has been a great refresher. Every aspect seems to be covered and I'm eager to get to the redux module..!
Lee
It is an fantastic first guide to React-native especially for someone who hasn't even used React. However, I find myself following the mechanics of creating the app but not really understanding why I am doing something. Perhaps this will come with more immersion. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful, free tutorial. I am looking forward to learning more from your premium courses.
I like everything you taught in this tutorial. Amazing work, Thank you :)
Savan C.
I like that you went through your own development environment . I wish that you would have walked through a simple react native application, though.
Charles B.
how to setup unit-test for the components and also redux setup is missing
Galeel B.
I like how this tutorial is so succinct
Peniel
test more on android
HaTHanh H.
I like the professionalism and good practices that you show. Thank you so much for that!
Michał S.
I like the explanation for React Navigation and generally handling navigation in React Native. Previously I had used React Native Router Flux for my application but I was not satisfied with it. This course (module) helped me to convert it to React Navigation. Fantastic!
I liked??? I loved every part of this series you tailored for react native. It's an awesome course and I have recommended most of my friends here in India to go through your course. Thanks for making this series. Appreciate your efforts and admire your skills. One thing more, First of all it may sound weird but your course are listed in USD which cost a lot for Indian developers. For eg. $67 cost around 5000 in India. I know a lot of pain goes in making such wonderful tutorials. But it proves costly for us. Can you do something like what Wes Bos has done. He gives us a coupon which drastically reduce the price for Indian (in INR currency)
Rishabh
Overall, I like this course, however I expect this course to be continued to the uploading part (especially to App Store), since the link you gave about uploading to production is a "paid" course. And I hope to know the best practice for versioning apps as well. I hope to see more courses like this in the future. To be honest, I have one request about the best practice for a big project contains multiple modules, how to manage screens, etc for each modules, how to handle the dependency among few modules, etc. Anyway, thank you very much for this great course!
Daniel
can I have access to your courses free. I am student yet.
Sanjeewa
I would like to thank you for this tutorial. keep it up and share me the links if you have other free tutorials for react js and react native.
Great job. Thank you!
Hamid
Perfect explanation, simple but cover all subjects an give a great start of RN.
Sebastian C.
notthing
Quang
Everything is this course, too fast.
Mohammad L.
No
pass state as props with navigation without dispatch in redux
Rami S.
The course was great.
Abraham V.
redux and state management was not clear enough, all other modules were is great
Raed S.
sohail
For me, the best course of React Native! Thank you so much! Really understandable, your voice is not too fast for me (not en. native).
Guillaume
Really enjoying the course, the explanations is very clear and the pace of the course is great. Thank you
the project structuring and component reuse
Raed
The video cannot move backward when push left button in Firefox, don't know whether it's an error.
Tuan D.
Very easy to follow along. Wished you explained a bit of the big fundamentals such as what is a state and prop which new users like me have no idea.
all
Azamat
I like Project structure and Editor tricks
Mayuresh
Good to "Organizing Your React Native Project" but after all project is done.. Bad :( But the start is very COOL! Thank you
Everything was good and properly explained in this course. One thing is missing, i think in this we are not directing one activity to another. e.g: when we login it redirects to other another activity. i hope this will be handled in next tutorials.
good start for the beginners tp react native
My only complaint would be that course is a little bit outdated which did cause some problems when trying to follow the tutorial
Marko(Dundie)
Some things are outdated, there is better workarounds for other things (KeyboardAvoidingView with scrollview, as an example), but overall its a very good course.
Marcelo F.
It would be great to have something about AsyncStorage :)
Occasionally the steps were a little rushed through, however didn't find it to be much of an issue. This is easily the best course I've come across, and one that I genuinely feel is helping me learn React Native so quickly. Thank you so much!
Rick M.
I like this course, thank to the author. Sometimes I was stucked due to react native versions incopatibility, but I think, it helped me to understand this material more deeply. I'd like to see more information about emulator setup, because I spent a lot of time trying to start it up.
Nikita
Just great! The course is very well structured, it follows up a good learning curve, it doesn't goes too deep into the details, just exactly what you need to proceed forward.
Vasko K.
I realy like how it is split up in all those parts! very good organized! helped me a lot to het into react, because this application covers almost everything! Thank you for your big effort!
Timothy T.
The amount of effort and polishness that has been put into this course is amazing. I would pay for this course any day of the week. I don't really feel like joining the group, but would definitely buy you a coffee. Cheers.
The VScode popup over the lines can be annoying when trying to read the code when it is paused
Harry
i liked to learning both OS at the same time
eslint & prettier, the fact that it is free
This was one of the best courses I have come across lately for react native, I am a beginner to react native. I would like to suggest adding more info about basics along with the tutorials, for example why certain keyword are used in the code, etc. This will give a little bit of fundamental knowledge to the learner as well along with an amazing practical session. Otherwise man you rock. The modules are timed very well.
Soniya
Everything is OK, keep it this way. It would be good if in the details section bellow the video you can put links for more info about the stuff you introduce in the video.
Vasko
all good, sometimes confusing, somethings are not explained why they are done so. overall it good.
Nabin
Explained well
Nice examples and good explanations of most important components of react native!
Alexandru D.
it's very intuitive and practical, only small drawback is that I'm working on an android, while you focus on iOS. great tutorial though, thanks a lot.
Vinh H.
I like the way, you explain all things very clearly and one by one. so anyone can understand easily. this app should be in react native CLI instead of expo :( . Many of the function i am not able to use like Image in children, Animate.ImageBackground not working for me. Also that @expo/vector-icons. i imported manually but its not working and that's why i don't added any icons in my application.
Vishal S.
In lessons Options Stack Navigator and Handling Errors there are some differences between IOS and Android.
Adnan P.
I like that you teach how to structure the project. It is unfortunate that some stuff is out of date, but I appreciate the notes and code being updated.
Christina
It's great to use the same app during the complete course. Maybe you should give links where to find more information about each subject that you are covering.
Giulio
I liked everything as this is my first course in RN.
Charles
I don't know if learning to use the alert provider is really necessary since we have the alert thing to use.
This project is awesome man!
I liked the course overall so far, Really put together quite nice.
simple, straight forward. I followed and I understood
Joshua
Everything is really good so far,
i love you man, you are awesome
Muhamed A.
May be more info about React Native Navigation
Andrii
Hi. Into some step you are continue put import React from 'react'. Its borring. Also I do not see difference between simpleHTML->react Native <- Native apps. And you are not put into texts some documentnaion about styles, properties and another things about RN.
everything is perfect
Upi
I love the style of instruction; perfect pace and content.
Kevin C.
Pace was really good. Explanation was very clear. It would be great if its updated. Libraries change. What works for you might not work for the viewers.
Ritesh T.
some things aren't working and should be updated by now
I'm really enjoying this course, and I wanted to thank you for it. I think the structure of the course: first screens, then navigation, state and so on is a good one and using a currency converter as the application to build (and not the classic ToDo list) gives you the opportunity to teach more stuff. As a beginner with React and React Native (I've only written a basic web application by myself) I've missed more information about what elements I can use (what's a 'TouchableOpacity'? And a 'TouchableHighlight'? What's the difference? Why they didn't name it 'Button'?...) but once I finish this course I'll read a book or two to learn about those. Anyway, thank you, sir, for your nice work.
Abel
Tutorial is too good and good for quick start. Good thing is tutorial is updated with latest/deprecated changes on each video.
Nirav S.
It is well explained and it's very helpful.
Tiago F.
What I liked. Nice diction, pacing, well researched and organized video. Probably more work went into producing this than I can really imagine. To have this offered for free is quite a bargain. Having git commits associated with each lecture is wonderful. I wish everyone did this. What could be improved. I like to code along with the video and this course makes that hard for a couple of reasons. The video player window is too small for me to easily make the text big enough to read with confidence, and if I make it full screen then I can't see my own editor. I want to be able to see your code and my own at the same time. Frequently when I want to read your code the video has the text you are talking about obscured by the pop up 'intellisense' window and I have to carefully move the video forward and back to try and find a frame where the text is visible, or look in the git repo. I also don't like the video players inability to remember the speed settings. I like to watch at 1.5 speed and this player makes me set this speed every time I go to a new lecture, I'm used to YouTubes player which will remember the speed setting across multiple videos.
This course is great! I loved the pace of the videos with explanations to the point.
George
One of the best courses I've taken with respect to staying focused on real world-style development.
Alan A.
I took this course, because I wanted to try out VS Code with React Native and since this course was free I learned how to setup linting etc. through this course :)
Login navigation screen
rajan
Love the delivery and the content.
The tutorial is well defined and easy to follow. I have no experience with React or React Native and this tutorial has provided me with the tools I need to create applications for my work.
George A.
Less explanation Redux.
chankroesna
This course is great because it gives an overview of why you would use each individual package instead of just copying/duplicating what other projects do without understanding the benefits.
Nice brief course with a lot of useful information! Thank you! Perhaps you could use prettier options for quotes instead of running eslint fix after to fix them.
Explanation with practicing so good.
Great for beginner,
Ravi K.
Very good course. Thank you.
Phil S.
Very helpful. It misses some local storage to save the state.
easy to understand, nice explanations
can use other methods to fix keyboardDidShow issue?
bilabila
Thanks for the great course.
It is a really useful course. Thank you very much. There is just one minor thing that you can watch out for if you record course videos again. There is a box over your text editor when you type that gets in the way of what you are typing. But that is not a crisis. Thanks again.
Really liked the way it is setup. But its mostly talking about fresh setup. But would like to know more about how we can add react native to existing native project
Rizwan
Awsome ma, !!!!!!!!! Amazing
Santosh S.
I really like the whole approach of how you build from ground up. In the sense that you first add the building blocks and then build complexity and functionality. This course was super useful. I am doing this tutorial on Android and though I had to fix couple of issues with the code. It was not a big deal. Overall super thankful dude. Keep rocking!
Vivek K.
It was interesting, some date was deprecated, but easy to fix. thanks a lot. will be cool to add lessons "how to publish this app in real app store and google market
Goga T.
Excellent tutorial so far. Only that I feel like things are kind of repetitive in module 3: The User Interface which is okay for me since I can skip or fast forward.
Jason
DrawerNavigation missing
na
thanks, everything was perfect, i really learn a lot. Thanks
So far still awesome
Barreira
new efficient ways to do things
It helped me a lot, i was having issues on running the server and you clarify my questions. thanks
Giullyano R.
First, Thanks for free tutorial, Everything was perfect, sometimes u forget to show for android.
Best react native course I have done so far. I like that you give advice on how to structure a project. It's unfortunate that some code is already outdated but I'm glad that you offer links to the current code.
Christina B.
Overall great tutorial, Redux Module part is well explained which lacks in others videos, however Redux Saga is quite diffcult.
Ujjwal M.
You went a little fast and some aspects of the course are a bit old now. I had to figure out a few extra things that changed such as the propTypes importing. Thanks for the course! Overall it was a good intro into react native
Joe
TUt needs updating to current react native version and modules.
over 6 years ago
It's delivered at the perfect level for people beginning React Native and setting up their first React Native project. I wouldn't say this is exactly missing from this presentation--as I said, I like the level as is--but I've had difficulty in my 3 React Native projects on the native side of things. For me that happens to be on Android. But I'm wondering if there might be some way to point to resources that people can read or view so they can inform and familiarize themselves with getting around XCode or Android Studio. Again, I understand that is beyond what's intended for this course.
Subtitles are missing, but it's not a big problem. I appreciated the clear and simplified setting of the project.
Francesco S.
I really like that the author specifies the correct versions of each package to install and every single step needed, so then there is no surprises of non-compatible packages and obscure errors. He speaks very clearly and calmly. Excellent communicator!
Ignacio
I like everything, but i want more info about context in lesson handling errors.
Chebotaev R.
Very thorough and great way of walking through the material to build it up.
The modal that your IDE keeps up as you type code makes it difficult to follow along with you - it frequently covers code I'm trying to read to keep up with you. I'm following along, and doing every module, and that is the biggest time-sink. I have to pause the lesson, scan to a point in the video where what I need to see is not covered, and then jump back (or let it play through) to where I was. It seems like you were good, or better, about closing that modal earlier on. The end of Module 3 and some of Module 4 seemed to have the most egregious transgressions. This and the fact that some of the code is now a little dated. Those are the only two complaints I have. I easily have 3 or 4 times as many compliments for you. I will take the time to write those out once I've finished all the lessons that I've purchased.
This is the type of tutorial/course that I've been looking for, creating an application from scratch with enough basic things about React Native, so later on I can use this project as an example.
Widyarso J.
I (and many developers ) have had alot of problems with tab navigators combined with stacknavigator and switchnavigator. The course is outdated in that matter as some of the stuff have been renamed changed. The example that I had an issue during developement was an app with a simple two tab structure, but the tab bar would be on top and on top of that a header bar with centered logo and a sign out button on the right ( switch navigator would crash the app). But overall really nice course.
Sam P.
Pretty thorough course overall. Goes through many of the things you need to get up to speed on when building a react native application. There are also quite a few nuggets that add a pretty nice touch to the user experience such as animations and displaying alerts using higher order components (HOCs). My only gripe with this course is that a few interesting tidbits were glossed over where a little more explanation could have been given, e.g. when setting up alerts using HOCs.
Steven
All great!
Hung C.
Some things are not clear how and why...
I like the way that you explain things. Great Man...!
I will give it 5 stars if it was not for outdated script that you put in the video.
Marselinus D.
Positives - I liked how each module was structured to introduce important concepts such as animation, routing, designing for android vs iOS, etc. - There weren't too many concepts introduced too soon, tutorial was well paced. - Liked how in the later tutorials the mock ups and component interactions were introduced to allow us to build the component without needed to go through the tutorial to understand all the functionality required. Deltas - I'm nitpicking here, but I would have appreciated a little more explanation or even references to the error handling components. Felt a little too much like "copy and paste this code, it works". That being said I appreciate that this was a more advanced feature and this is a beginner course.
Learning a lot of different things at once is nice, routes.js and the different stacknavigators do get tedious and kind of confusing.
I like the way you give the lessons step by step, so I understand about redux and redux-saga well. i just do not like the error when xde is hanging. there are less, may be added search. thanks for the lesson, I really like and I appreciate it. *sorry for my english :v*
Cecep A.
Amazing course, helped me a lot to understand how to structure a project and how to split component to make them re-usable ! Thanks :D
Zak
Very cool!
Maybe, I miss more information about publishing the App in Expo. But, In general terms I'm very happy with this course because I've learnt a lot
Javi
It's perfect
git repo of the finished app would be very time saving, otherwise 5
It's awesome so far :)
Why not use styled-components instead EStyleSheet?
Muhammad W.
It was good
Narendra
How to eject the App, and sign it so you could upload it to Google Play
JULIAN
The course content is great. However, some of the typing was too fast and requires a student to pause the video or go backwards to see what was typed. Another thing would be the speed of the course. Due to the fact that the teacher was experienced, some of the stuff were sped through (such as during the Redux and Redux Saga modules), it requires the student to pause and think about what is going on. Examples: - What is the difference between the 'CHANGE_QUOTE_CURRENCY' vs the method changeQuoteCurrency()? - What is difference between using state.XXX in a screen file vs using action.XXX in a reducer file? The Redux modules were a little complex and it is understandable that this course would not go through them. However, due to the briefness, it would require the student to read up and understand more about Redux before attending this lesson. Overall, the course was great and opened an eye for the world of React Native, coming from a student who has done pure native work in Obj-C and Swift. Thank you.
I liked the way the course is designed to give both conceptual and hands-on practice. Highly recommend for beginners or people who are planning to work with react-native. Would love if you could add some assignments or conceptual quizzes.
Harish G.
the tutorial is detail, which is very good. I follow this tutorial in 2018, some codes in the video has deprecated.
Ferdianto
Only teaches the things he's doing and the way he's doing. Should also tell the other ways to do it, the other options available etc.
Raza
A little fast, sometimes unclear why you chose what you did, I wish I understood more rather than copying quite a bit.
Can you add more currencies to your own api account (fixer.io) like 'MAD' and more ... Thank u. Best regards,
I love that you're putting this stuff out there for free. It's been a year since you originally recorded and released this course, and I've found comments along the way which have helped me bridge any changes due to dependencies, etc. Overall great content. My one feedback is you are great at multitasking (talking and typing). Which is a great skill in a job setting when pair-programming, I imagine, but not so much when I'm trying to code-along with you. I would consider explaining and talking about what you're about to do, and then typing it out. I would also advise turning off the parameterHints in VS Code when you're typing, because they're quite annoying when it covers what you just typed, so instead of pausing I have to rewind. Anyway. Those are rather minor things, compared to the much-appreciated value you are providing. Thank you.
Everything was precise and nice
Kaala
validation part is missing,
Great Quality Content. However sometime its very hard to follow the code, because some of the function from VS code were blocking it, and when its unblock, you have already move to a different section in the code.
Kenneth A.
Update courses with latest version ;)
overall it's great tutorial.. a must tutorial for our team.. but, little error.. proptypes error.. should import PropTypes from 'prop-types'l
as y.
I like the scope of the course. Since your avoid explaining a lot of what you do, I think this course is perfect for people who already have some experience with React and want to see an application build live. I didn't like that you avoided explaining the alert part. I do not like that you are using expo.
Jan
I like that you explain most of the sintaxis, functionalities and a lot of other stuffs. It's good for beginners to understand the concepts and how to use it, keep doing it. I didn't like when you don't show a the end of the lesson how is going look on android and it's functionality, because not all of us have a macbook to run iOS emulator, it doesn't happen always but some lessons don't have that review. Thanks again, it's a pretty good course.
Well explained very detailed
Zac
Everything great, would be nice to see explantion for AlertProvider and connectAlert
Artem K.
everything is good
Kirill
Great, I've totally satisfied!!
The course is very useful for me, thanks!
Yan C.
Its a real time example, good explanations on right way of doing things. I like it so much
Sumesh
I really appreciate this tutorial for its neat project structure the most. And the tutorial video duration is perfect(i.e, not too long). The instructor also has a great teaching talent.
Khein H.
liked everything about this course. the way of explanation and the module structuring, especially the folder organization is awesome. I'm Missing more of such courses ;). Please upload new courses on Udemy ASAP. Thanks a lot! :)
Ankit D.
Though some things were outdated (not unexpected), I thought the course was very well done. Thanks for your time and know-how.
could you also integrate rx observable ?
vladimir
What did I Like: The module is very well structured with a beautiful illustration. I am completely impressed with your teaching specifically on the app designing principle/concepts. Thank you very much for your selfless amazing knowledge sharing, which is going to be definitely help me in structuring/designing my apps. I am definitely giving thumbs up for this course and I love/honour to become a student of you. Thanks again, Kaliraj S.M
Kaliraj
Everything perfect
Dixon G.
Lots of handson stuff
Fresedo
Configure Navigation in react
Queen
everything was good
All
The list of the VSC extensions could have been hyperlinked to the marketplace website for the extension to read about it and see which one you're exactly using. It could also have been good to explain how to pull your configuration using gist. I liked how you show the CLI for prettier and ESLint before showing the extensions.
Jose S.
I like this course very much, but I think I didn't understand completely the 'react-navigation' part. However I'll have a look to the egghead course in order to improve and learn the concepts.
There was a lack of comments in the example code which made it unnecessarily difficult to understand code that wasn't explained in the course.
I liked this course, I speak a bit English but I understood the lessons, I missed some patterns design react, but generally its great course. I hope to take others coursers.
Stiven
Best React Native Course I have taken up so far... well taught all the concepts uptil now and module division is perfect. When will you release your other courses on RN on Udemy. Waiting for it.
I like your structure and way of teaching. Missing is last lecture "Handling Errors" I didn't understand anything how its working I just copy and paste code from your github file and I dont like to skip anything.
Ashu
Excellent course - thanks very much for making this available for free. I took me as a beginner to React through every step to completing a solid, attractive and useful app.
Graham B.
Really detailed and well explained course!
Alex
The whole structure is pretty solid, a good pace as well
Outdated
Sa
course is great, but subtitle is missing
I M.
Great course! Perfect for setting up your machine and getting an overal understanding to start a React Native project.
Christopher
as a beginner, i felt this course really easy to understand and follow. really appreciate your hard work put behind this.
Kapil D.
Until I liked everything here I'm a beginner RN developer and this course is helping me a lot.
André S.
Content is good
Mayank R.
I really like the consistent practice. Folding styles are also great.
Liked Everything. Will definitely visit back to solidify the concepts. Thanks for the amazing course.
I would have appreciated going over the alert component, even briefly
Congrats for this course. I bought one however I decided to take this free first to understand the way you set a project. I would like to suggest you to set the sound up a little more.
Ribamar S.
It's always been an issue for me to set up a react native project from scratch, this was really helpful, I like the folder structuring
Yes
Repeat Practicing made the difference
Akash
how to setup lint in windows is missing. i was using CRNA but not esilint files are installed by default.
Shashank
Very neat explanation. I've tried React Native course in many other websites and i would say this is the best and most up-to-date course. After this course, you feel confident, ready and well equipped to get start with your real world app. Many thanks to the instructor!
Rashmi H.
I like how super organized your workflow is! I am going to adopt it. :+1: I wish if you have covered more complex navigation scenarios, like when I don't want for the user to go back to a previous screen. The scenario for that is when on-boarding a new user through a wizard that is displayed only once.
Faisal A.
Very detailed guide. would like to (eventually) find out about ConnectAlert & AlertProvider though.
Kurt J.
Dude, this course you put together is awesome :D
Kenny
it was all great! i loved it! thnx for your amazing work!
Rizwan A.
Android Statusbar issues ie. its not quite as beautiful as IOS... always seems to be a slight modification needed, be nice to solve this globally.
Paul A.
I like that your explanation was very concise. However, I got very confused when entering the redux module. Fortunately, the way you explained while doing the code helped me a lot to grasp a bit about the redux concept. Overall, I find this course helpful.
Ricardo
I like how informative you explain about the process taken and the thinking process throughout the course. That way, I am able to grasp the concept to use the react native tool. Overall, i still don't find any missing or anything which I dislike so far (until this module).
I'm completely new to coding, and I found your descriptions and explanations to very clear and easy to follow.
Brian W.
There nothing to dislike till now. Every lesson is deeply and well-understandable.
Paresh P.
This is the most concise course I've found on the internet, a complete package. I am an android/java developer and just started react native. Through this course, though I'm not done yet, helped me and saved a lot of time. I did not have to look for tutorials of commonly used modules(e.g. navigation, redux) since it's already here. I hope, if you have time, you'll include hoist-non-react-statics in this course, since you have used it in module 4 (handling errors). It's the one thing that I don't fully understand.
Jomar
Excellent course. Learned lot of things. Thank you for the course.
Yaswanth
I like how it shows every detail.
Tunç
The course was easy to follow, and it didn't copy and paste large sections of the code, I coded alongside the course and it was really helpful for a beginner dev learning React.
Joseph
As a course for beginner, its really comprehensive and nice folder structure, very well organized
First: Thank you, I think for now its covering the static needs for an application, will continue to learn more, thanks again ;)
Hany S.
It's awersome course. I think, everything is great.
Alexandr
i was expect you to deal with the remote api in depth, but you just pass by it. also i expect you to show how to publish on app store, i ll try to find it out. anyway thanks for your efforts. if you see this review, i hope you just send me a reply to keep in touch.
I like that the core concepts are presented in a fast and easy way. The course covers all the basics for a begginer or intermediate developer.
VIdeos are great, but written text is important for a student to take a moment and slow things down and think.
OK
Moves very fast, but it is better than it moving too slowly.
The course was made a year ago, and amost libraries are updated, and do not match what we see in the lessons. so, sometimes i need to take a break, search on google, and come back there. for the begginers is most likely a problem ... so, is it.
Henrique
I've been impressed enough to purchase both the "Additional Exercises" and the "Production Ready" courses. I NEVER pay for things that I can get for free, but there isn't anything even close to the caliber of these courses out there. One thing that is missing; total run time for each module and for the entire course. It's listed for each individual topic within a module (and I like that they are concise), but I'm trying to estimate how long it will take me to get through this course plus the two I just purchased.
If y.
I like the course please do free more courses for me thanks in advance
Haris S.
It's said "new" but someone should have known how to understand this course. The react navigation and style is so less to understand, and using yarn instead of npm is a mystery, like "why yarn is a default here?
Nana
I think the value you bring is perfect:) Will be a fan & customer for ever!
I love the way everything is explained in detail and all well set up to be in sequence. Its my first experience with react native but i found myself building alot of the features before looking at the code. The only part where i had a little bit of an issue was with redux-saga. I found myself typing code i really didn't understand what it was doing. But overall it was awesome
Nsoseka
I'm a product designer with a limited JS / React background - at times the tutorial is a bit fast for me but ultimately this course has been super rewarding. I'm simultaneously reading the O'Reilly "Learning React Native" book and between the two resources, I feel like I've gained a ton of great React Native knowledge. Looking forward to learning Redux - I've always struggled a good deal with wrapping my head around those concepts. Thanks for the killer course!
Justin
I like how you introduce the content to understand what is required in a very short time, its the student job to dive in!
Nabil A.
I would have like to seen a video about using Redux, since I'm still confused as to how it fits in to all this.
Elias
Very informative
The fact that many libraries are depricated and it make me go back another time to fix them.
Ina K.
I really love the real world approach of this course. It'd be wonderful to update the course to use new APIs and note about deprecated methods. However the course is already incredibly amazing. I really love the way you cover as much topics as possible without letting things for a paid course. Thanks countlessly Spencer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ahmad
Nothing, for an introductory course, it is pretty good.
Depth on each topic was fantastic. It would be nice to know a little about authentication, how to separate authentication vs non-authentication flows.
Krishnan
awesome course
Sujata S.
Loved the way topic has been explained. It would have been great if you had involved the authentication feature aswell.
Nikhil
Needed to find a workaround on some things, like <Image> no been able to have children anymore, After completed the Saga part i was not able to change the quote currency anymore, could not figure a solution to it yet.
It's very good course
Uurtsaikh
The delivery is very good. The tests are extremely basic. I don't think that this would be enough testing to put this particular application into production. We haven't tested any of our sagas for example.

Publishing to the app stores, ejecting, why not use Expo XDE
The course is excellent, I loved it! Something I didn't like was setting up and implementing redux-saga. Seems way over complicated compared to redux-thunk. I'd prefer using redux-thunk on this project.
Jese R.
This tutorial is awesome, I like it. I use different RN version and environment, so some things I get is wrong. But I love to find the solutions. Nice!
Nur M.
Мне все понравилось спасибо за это
Jasur
Your concerne with code quality/organization was impressive. I missed 2 things - how to use Expo APIs and how to package the apps for distribution
It was a great course I liked the redux section the best
James W.
I have actually been liking a lot of this course so far. Nothing to complain about. Good pacing, good explanation.
I am a fan of the project directory organization. It's simple and advanced at the same time.
Femi A.
The application building and the content presented is amazing. The content can be moving a little too fast at certain times while coding along.
Nice info!
GT
great pace, really clear examples, builds me along and doesn't ask me to accept too much "magic" to get something working
hari
how can i call this.props.navigation.navigate in action file, in my app, as soon as i signIn from firebase, i navigate to another screen, so my question is how to navigate in action file ??
Parth N.
I like the way you divide step, content I think it is better if you can add more resources in the comment below video. And can you make subtitle for videos?
I love the way the teacher takes his time to explain the details of what he is doing. Its incredibly well explained.
Everything, I like everything in this tutorial. Well explained.
alt332
I like so much because this is practical course, is direct to the point.
Leo
it explains everything
Very Good
Ismail
i'm so good, but something i understand: in lesson Handling Errors
Ngo T.
I am not sure what was missing, but I did wonder if anything was out-of-date.
Devan B.
Covering all the basics stuff in a very organized manner.
Sanj
I liked the introduction to redux-saga, made it seem less scary. The workflow used by Spencer is really great and makes sense. The accompanying repo needs to be updated in one or two places, but mostly still works great.
Great overall pacing and easy to understand. The only thing that bugged me sometimes as I followed along was the VSCode popups over the mouse cursor that obscured the code as I was trying to follow along.
You introduce many concepts of react native in easy way to understand
Tin
Everything easy to understand. But, would be great if you have more example for redux use middleware.
Pham V.
very clear explanations, breaking down components / process into small steps
so clearly explain and the very clean code that the instructor writes
jeffy a.
it is super cool and I liked the way you are teaching it and same time give practice shot to it. Yeah, the missing is the explanation on some parts which I know can't be possible in this course.
Overall Course was good, missing the landscape mode setup
I like that the course was more than a beginner introduction
Your teaching was exceptional. I liked the way you explained the concepts and how to apply them. I did not like the repetition with import and export in the different index files. Would have loved to see the alert provider part explanation.
Muhammad M.
Can't think of anything bad at the moment
I like the course. It is concise and substantial. Thanks!
Oleksandr A.
The course has been very comprehensive and the repetition of building components is helpful in developing some muscle memory. I've also found your teaching style easy to follow and the length of your videos keeps me engaged.
Josh S.
Pacing and incremental advancement is very good. How the content is delivered is great, and your workflow is really awesome. Having so many files named index.js can be confusing, but I guess its good practice. Updating the repo with the KeyboardAvoidingView component would be great.
It is simple too understand and covers the basics when starting a new project... i like that
Kharioki
I liked how you explain everything so clearly. It's been a pleasure to follow along so far.
Sachin G.
You cover all the basics that we need to start working with RN, good job!
Luis F.
Updated code would be nice in some cases, like in Animated module, when now Image withing Image is not longer possible
The way you describe the lesson is so good
huy
simple course with everything important is included.
Nabeel K.
Great course overall. Thank you!
Modules (lectures) are very well organized. It would be nice to talk about how nom packages are installed (global vs local, versioned vs latest) for us React & nom noobs. Not sure if you have control over this web app... but allowing comments by students to allow information to be passed regarding a lesson would be nice.
Art
Great in depth course, marred by recent framework changes, but super cool
Jerry S.
This course was quite straight to the point and gave me the experience of what it would be like to create a robust and complete app from scratch. I did however find it difficult to understand what part some of the imports had within the app, since there were so many imports that had to be made, which weren't explained very much. This isn't too much of a problem, since there are many online resources where we can read up on the material, so I found the overall course very helpful. Thanks for such a wonderful course!
Kotaro
cool: tips and tricks, not cool: too much time showing/typing basic styles
Eduardo R.
A great tutorial covering the main principles, very well explained. After this tutorial you are able to create a great app with many features. The only 'negative ' observation is about redux, and redux saga, that this tutorial is not explaining very well.
Eduardo S.
Loved the course so far. I found it to be the best React Native course available. The best part about the course is that it focuses more on modularity, code reuse, and best-practices regardless of their requirements(eg. PropTypes). Nothing to complain so far. This course answers all my doubts until module 4. I'll catch on the rest of the modules in next few days. Thanks again for the free course.
Rajender J.
I like properly scheduling of file.
sumit
Good end-to-end coverage of using React-Native in the whole React ecosystem (Redux ect).
There are some RN codes that you didn't explained well or skipped to explain so i have to re-read the code in order to understand it. Overall a good course for a newbie like me :)
Love the course. In the very beginning it was difficult to understand how you got the QR Code after bootstrapping the react native app. I wasn't sure if I was missing a package or not. I very quickly tried to run npm start and then it worked but some may feel stuck at that point.
i had an issue on android while i was following this course on youtube with the logo resize, I decided for now to skip it and maybe later on, I will revisit and try to fix it (the error occurred after importing Animated from react-native) also I would like to mention that I am install npm packages without the specified version you have on your video. again i will come to that error and share/ask for a work around :)
omar f.
Really loved it, amazing content for free
It would have been interesting to cover state persistence. I imagine it's being wiped-off everytime the app is closed or at least updated.
Project Structure.... not explaining the very basics
Muhammad A.
Hey! Firstly, thanks for creating this really cool tutorial. I like how you covered all the basic components to get started with. I would have liked it more if you had explained about the AlertProvider component. But again, this is me just nitpicking. If you're making a tutorial on Advance concepts, I would like to know about it.
Prajith
I like the pace and the structure of the information layout. Also all the information needed to complete the course are readily available
This is a fantastic intro to React Native. Best free course I've ever taken!
Will J.
Amazing Spencer! I am a big fan of you and you deserve a big thumbs up for this free tutorial! This is a really good intro into building a fully functioning react-native app! I coded along and everything worked seamlessly. After watching an episode I've tried to code the episode without actually copying the code over and it has taught me a lot about ES6 and react-native. Sometimes I was running into some errors though since the javascript didn't build correctly and I couldn't figure out why. The error message that the console or the simulator gave me wasn't enough to figure out where the problem lay. I managed to figure it out though by looking at your code on github. I would like to know a little more about how to debug an app. Maybe I just have to learn a little bit more about ES6 and the way react works but I feel that maybe react-native is just not that good for this since the error messages given are sometimes not good enough. Sometimes it doesn't gave me an error at all and the only message I got was that the build failed. I'd like to understand a bit better on how to debug an app or how to approach understanding my mistakes. Maybe a debugging tutorial would be great. Overall though, I rate your tutorials A+ and you have a talent of explaining react-native in a way that is easy to follow and easy to understand. Thanks a lot, you rock!
Florian V.
I'm loving the course so far. I took this course to learn more about react-navigation, stackNavigator, and redux which this gave me a pretty good basis so far. I'm currently building an app where I purchased the rnfirebase package. it's using react-navigation, stackNavigator, and redux so I'm looking forward to the redux module as well. But I'm completely lost with how they navigate from screen to screen as I can't figure out how they're doing it. Hopefully after this course I'll know more about it and will be able to get on my way!
Chris
I really liked this course because I'm learning all about RN but is important to know the best way to setup the environment, tools and basic projects. Thanks!!
Everything is clearly defined from starting to end I was trying to learn React-native since last 15 days but I was not able to clear many things but now I am clear about my concepts and things.
Kaushal
All the course was very good, clearly explicated!
Florian
I like folder structure you are created, it's very easy and your explanation technique is super super awesome :-). Thanks for this course. It's very helpful to newbie like me.
Nilesh F.
The best thing about this course, although It's outdated, I've never had an problem because lecturer always had an notes for me to keep me updated. Thanks!
Mustafa Y.
To the point stuff,,, Little bit difficult for newbies... Proper explanation of the very basic stuff is missin
there should be a link to the detailed explanation of the alert component
Maciej
I liked the baby steps! Especially for people who are lost when it comes to configurations and how to setup things and what architecture to follow. Also the recommendations were very useful , made me more curious. Over all a Good guide to start with.
Amina
Exercises? Let the student try to do something and then in the next video or perhaps a link, check the proposed answer.
Juanjo
Good job! Careful with using floating point for handling currency, but not a big issue in this demo app.
you are talking very fast . i like the way you organized the project. its great. And its a good introduction .
thameem
did't like to be on my own when it's supposably straightforward... and the fact that it's not up to date
mimccio
Very instructive, I love the detail and the videos. You speak about each step as you perform it, no dead silence and I feel like everything you say is beneficial in the course. Might like mention of other preferences or options that you may consider when using things (different packages or ways to go about things, or atleast why you choose one way over another. Like, why expo over something else, or redux).
I like the details explanation about react and its related modules. The "fixer.io" API is deprecated so I cannot full-fill 100% currency Converter App.
Angelzerodie
I liked that it showed building a full app with some aspects of complexity in it. I've build RN apps before, but this showed a few things that were great to learn about and makes me want to implement in other ways.
Clint
It's not super easy to go back in the material and refresh your brain (I look at GitHub code changes), but coding along with what's happening works really good for me!
Hi, I like the voice clarity and full control of the code for ios android.Please Add English subtitles also.
S.Venkatesh
I like the amount of content, I absolutely love that it's step by step. Very thorough. This is very well put together. I really have enjoyed the tutorial so far. I think the only thing I would have liked was a little more up to date code, though I'm not 100% sure how, you've done well at indicating where things were deprecated but the questions in the back of my mind are: 'How he's doing this, is it standard recommended practice? Is it outdated? How does it differ from React (not native)
I'm following this tutorial without using Expo, so some dependencies have to be installed manually and I had some troubles with that at first, for example the one with the icons from Ionic. Other than that this is a perfect course so far especially considering the price (free :D). Will definitely recommend this to my friends!
Anton K.
everything was clear to understand
Onur169
I did like all course.
Anderson R.
i love everything about the tutorials its too good for free and i appreciate your effort because you set me on track beyond my expectations already
Dihweng A.
explanation is great, video player could be much user-friendly, maybe have few min forward and backward button, the JS hint blocks the recent code so it's not hard to write and watch at the same time.
Diane
This course make things simple to learn, step by step every lecture easy to practice. Thank you very much
Truong G.
I like how the course goes in all the different parts of building a fully functional app. The speed is good especially since I have taken a few courses on react. I actually when through the course twice, first by the just watching the videos and then follow along to build the project. Although certain components are not fully explained, I found it actually good since it allowed me to go and read the documentation and learn everything that was possible with such component. As to what can be improved or added I would say include how to set up xcode simulator, but I did figured out myself. Also the Eslint set up part was confusing for to set up, I ended up not including it in my project, something I need to get my head around. I am not too concerned about it though, I will get at some point. Overall this is the course I needed to build the app for the webapp I am working on. I am deeply grateful to have found this course on Youtube while checking the new features of react 16.3 a.k.a context api :).
Miguel
Really good and nicely paced course! Just the right amount of content to get started with app development using React Native. What makes it really better is that you get to learn the best practices of using React Navigation too.
Ankit
Great introduction into react-native/redux.
Vlad K.
Great tutorials, well paced. Thank you !
I loved everything about it. It is very clear that a lot of effort has been put into producing this course.
I liked that you went to good detail regarding UI/UX of an Application, but would have liked it if you could have possibly went more in depth on react-navigation, as for me that is one of the most common blocker.
andrew
great tutorial, easy to understand
so far so good
Fabrizio
I'm french and you are very understandable! All the courses are really good explain. Thanks a lot
great for beginners
richa s.
I like all course until here, It is amazing, It would complete if we have lecture with TabNavigation :-)
I get this error in "Handling Errors" part: Invariant Violation: React.Children.only expected to receive a single React element child. This error is located at: in AlertProvider (at index.js:30) in Unknown (at renderApplication.js:35) in RCTView (at View.js:78) in View (at AppContainer.js:102) in RCTView (at View.js:78) in View (at AppContainer.js:122) in AppContainer (at renderApplication.js:34)
Evan
Previously, I comment about error "Invariant Violation: React.Children.only expected to receive a single React element child." But, I think there's a typo in this line: export default () => <AlertProvider><Navigator /></AlertProvider>; It's running find by now.
Very nice tutorial. I find it very helpful. But it must be updated as it is a little bit old by now ...
Angel A.
I like everything so far.
Pavel
I wanna see more complex navigation tools i.e drawers tab views etc
This was an excellent course from start to finish! I loved the attention to detail and constant explanations of what was being done and why. I also loved that it (mostly) evolved as a real project would, with some stuff being done a certain way to start, and then changing it as the project grew.
Very a good course) In my opinion was one defect. You have not specified how the Alert library will be applied(installed).
Slava
There are times you can speed thru a section of typing, causing me to pause more frequent, but overall it is a great at making me understand react-native so far.
Structure: everything has good chronological sequence, maybe would be good add links or to mention another approaches for same problem.
Ivan
every thing awesome, very well explained
klessk
The teacher and the content is great!
Andoni
I liked how the course has been structured. looks simple but contains all things which I need to know. learned a lot of new libraries and practices.
First, huge thanks for creating this video series! I really like the major concepts that you have covered including usage of other libraries like extended stylesheets, moment, color, etc. Suggestions: 1. A slower pace of first component video might help few people. I had to read few docs to understand how the code is working. Pace of subsequent videos is perfect as they build on the same approach 2. Maybe a section on setting up iOS simulator & Android emulator will be helpful. Testing app live on expo is really cool but simulators on laptop may add more convenience. This is my first time building an App and I am struggling with simulator setups
Vij
I would love to hear more about Flow and TypeScript.
Good amount of application design, tool setup, react native foundations front end mostly. Maybe in another course you could deal how to handle databases or cloud services like Realm, Firebase RTDB, Firebase Firestore (one of them maybe).
Vinícius P.
Love to see app using GraphQL and firebase
Zachi S.
Really good tutorial. I found it very helpful. The only thing I want to mention is that it needs to be updated to newer version of packages, because there are some breaking changes.
Very simple and effective course at the same time. Sometimes I had a trouble with modules while I passed through this course (@expo/vector-icons is still show an error "unable to resolve module"). Are you planning to make a tutorial using WEBRtc or you already have one? Special thanks for your work. Now I'm thinking to complete one of your paid courses.
Shaubert I.
Fantastic job in explaining the basics! I'd like to actually try out some stuff when organising the project and configuring navigation, but that is probably covered in your exercise book or another course. Thanks!
Please, speak more about Best Practices.
Sergiu
So far, I feel like this has been an amazing course, especially for being free. In-depth, just complex enough, and has some decent features to get you thinking about how React Native works. Great work!
it would be nice to talk about how to insert your own component to a header. Thanks a lot
Roman
Everything you say is very clear. Just too little. But it's okay, that's enough basic knowledge to learn. Thank you very much!
Great, concise and effective, make more of these please.
Damiano M.
It was spot on for a beginner. It would be better if you had suggested some UI libraries.
RAzi
I like teaching way
Sushama
Spencer awesome job thank you, great teacher, you have helped me so much, no critiques of content or organization, please keep it up
Steve F.
i did like the simplicity of delivering the information :)
Iheb C.
Wow, you take each piece from the application and explain very well how it is built.
Costi
Like : - The way you explain and every time you were writing so that helped me to find errors because i was also writing along with the video. Missing : - For a beginner i guess nothing .
Shekhawat
Application and Instructor
Umair A.
The 'Handling Errors' lesson feels out of place. Too quick without proper explanation. Otherwise a fantastic course.
everything was great.. drawer navigation was missing
tony k.
Very well explained and at an excellent pace. Slightly difficult to follow on a windows machine.
Rex
Very good lectures. A bit complicated for me as I am new to react and react native and redux but I will sure come back to these videos. The fact that all the code was available helped a lot. Thanks a lot!
Kristján J.
Great course thanks! I'd really like something about how to go about building APK file. Do you have anything you could send over by any chance?
Great course, can't wait to get started now!
Ben
Very nice so far... Enjoying it :)
Emrah S.
I like the new libs that I didn't know yet, I'm also quite new to React Native so it was nice to see you at work with some best practices in mind. I guess the thing I missed was React Native Web because I'm struggling with that a bit but there are other resources for that and it probably doesn't fit in this course either.
Very clear and well explained ideas.
I liked everything about this course. I would love to see some db syncing maybe in the background. redux-persist maybe and localization things would be amazing
I was lost on redux-saga part. Need to go through again. Having said that, fantastic tutorial. Thanks, man!!
Jahid H.
i have been building with react native for a whole year, but i had been over complicating things.. this tutorial has helped me simplify and even arrange my projects better.. I have an upcoming talk am giving on the basics when building with react native, and i took this tutorial as a refresher and am happy i did
Super explanations. Should have slow down a bit. I had to rewind again again.
Great Coding Structure. Add more free course on react native fundamental (From zero to hero)
tom
Honestly, this course has everything. Instructor is very clear with his explanations and I feel like I know everything I need to know. I also love how the instructor catches issues before they happen. Avoids a lot of stress. Thank you!
I like that you're keeping it up to date, so the tutorial won't break
fatih e.
I've loved every bit! Just the part where you skipped AlertProvider... Great tutorial!
The course is great. The only issues I have are that you talk and type pretty fast so it is hard to keep up with you and understand at the same time because you don't really explain much. You tend to do say we need to do this and this is how but you don't explain why it is necessary or what it is actually doing. The other issue is it is a little outdated. I have run into a couple issues due to this. However, this is a free course so it is amazing.
Giovanni F.
very well structured course materials
I like how many different topics the course covers.
Eugene
A great course for a react-native beginner that touches on all topics that one needs to know to get started. Especially redux and redux-sagas that are used almost all the time, but never discussed in beginner tutorials. One point of confusion for beginners is why CRNA is needed, what Expo is and what the alternative is (e.g., react-native init). Just a brief note about those to clear the confusion would be beneficial.
John P.
Very Concise
faheem
Love the course. It's great to get the basics and even more.
Sometimes the course feels like it was meant for people with a know in React and not for beginners, sorry if that was the intent. But for me I'm a beginner in React-native
Nkaka F.
It helped me to get to know how to work with enzyme and redux-mock-store. Could be better if there would be more complex mockings to help out in real life apps.
Very good course, much better than many RN that I've paid for. Can't think of anything offhand that would improve it.
Henrik
Great jumping-off point for building apps. Especially like the tip on EStyleSheet
Chad H.
Not too much...not too little. Leaves me wanting more.
Good quick overview
Paul
I've tried to learn react throught different tutorials online, yours is perfect, clean and very professionnal. I'm new with react and I've never seen the way you build your components and it's very powerful ! Thank's a lot :) !
Jean-Aurel
the yarn install prettier stuff felt very rushed through and did not cover how to correct if for some reason it does not work.
It is a good course and i like it. thanks
Mohsen
Course is good to start RN development but its get confusing at the end , must try it once to learn the basics, I learned a lot new stuff.
Himanshu N.
It would be nice if you could include subtitle in your video.
Vinh
It's slowly getting out of date. Nothing major so far, comments sometimes help with those issues.
So far the course is well structured, and it covers a lot of topics I need for the app I'm trying to build. I feel like the 1x playback speed is too fast to code along, while the 0.5 is too slow. On YouTube I often use the 0.75 times. Any chance you could integrate this into the video player?
I like his tips and advice on how to organize a RN project
Ken H.
The stack navigator was a bit difficult to figure out. But that's awesome, anyway! Thank you so much!!!
Abror
I like how up-to-date the course is. Also I like how it gets you up and running quickly. I didn't like that I had to install eslint again after initialising it. I don't know why this extra step was necessary for me. I exactly followed your steps.
A bit more detailed overview of error handeling, maybe a module about it.
Alexander B.
Great free course
radu
This is a great course so far, really teaches me best practices and how components work.
Romo
It was great - I've learnt so much with reproducing the app, thank you!
all its good but may be different version in video & react-native new vertion
Great course for beginners and it is very understandable and clear
Roger
It's great, I'm picking up lots of useful new tips and tricks for future projects.
Harry C.
The course is great! I wish was updated for the latest version of the tools used, but that's just nitpicking. I understand the amount of work that goes into creating a course like this.
snowburnt
I liked the way you managed to go through every concept, For real I learned a lot. I wish I could get another tutorial of yours, explaining redux in more details
Jean L.
As of Feb 2018 it needs an update. Excellent instructions and clear explanations.
I like the way everything was clear, you managed to type all codes so that we can see and understand everything. Plus, the way you organize your code is truly transcendent. I have learned many things, not only react-native, but also different coding tips and techniques.
This is really professional course. Parts of applications are well broken down. The only this that is more extra is that some components or codes seems a bit too complex for beginners to understand (they are more like codes you use when you become more experienced with react). Else is great.
Samin
Like, the way you explain and go through, no like: is not 100% updated
A very good beginners tutorial
There were situations where since the tools had been updated the code in the videos were no longer valid, or there were discrepancies between the videos and the code on the github. The other issue I had with the videos were that sometimes you would be typing and things would pop up and get in the way of the text. Other than that, the content was great, extremely informative and very clear.
Code organization. Just to create a single select list there is a log of efforts. Just a first timer review.
Owais I.
I liked the overall structure. but was a little disappointed that topics like react-navigation where not explained i detail like "how to setup your minimal boilerplate" had to check it out myself
Peter
This was hands down the best react native course I've seen so far!
Gazorpazorp
Everything is great so far!
hasta ahoa todo esta muy interesante.
maximiliano
Very descriptive and easy to follow without being overwhelming!
I like how deep you dive into codes and explain step by another
Pacifique M.
it's good i like the spencer explain every thing and i really like how redux saga works
Liked the explanation and best practices. Building the app for installation on device was missing.
Aqib M.
simple and straight to the point, clear explanations about the basics and the right way to do it. I definitely missed some things related to defining the name of the app (specially because is using expo), but was a really cool short course. I enjoyed it!
Really nice tutorials! For beginners like me this tutorial is awesome. Thanks Spencer.
Leonardo G.
I liked the completeness of the project, you covered all aspects of building a complete app very well. I found i got a bit lost in understanding the whole redux and redux saga module. I think perhaps a single into video giving an overview of how each bit is connected to the other would help, and then during the normal tutorial you could reference this into video to help the user join the dots.
Brady W.
It is the best course for beginners to learn the basics of App development with React-Native. The only problem is it is not up to date with the RN development, but its fine it makes beginners to search for the latest development in RN and bang their heads on the screen now n then.
What I liked most about this course is that Spencer doesn't spend hours explaining every little detail, but hits on all the details that are most important. This course does a great job of showing some of the benefits of these best practices without making you feel like a bad developer for not doing some of them and still having your preferences for your development environment.
Adam M.
I liked the structure of the course. Sometimes I felt I had to pause the video and rewind a lot because you were covering so much so quickly; or that i would be bashing out code trying to keep up without fully understanding what the code was doing. A little bit more explanation about each thing you do and why you do it would be nice to get a more solid understanding but ultimately a great course so far!
Brady
All iz well bro i like how explain step by step clear understand !
The configuration in the beginning of the whole tutorial is a bit difficult for a complete noob. Maybe you could improve that part.
Spencer has a gift for breaking down complex subjects into easy-to-digest pieces that are directly applicable to most modern applications. Kudos!
Eric C.
taking the course as a java application, I really appreciated it. Once you got into the redux and saga, the videos started to get faster. I would have liked to know why those certain packages where choose; redux, redux-navigation, saga, etc., over other packages if there are any. Are those the industry standard or just the easiest to get started with. There's plenty to read up on. Thanks.
Michael L.
Good balance of pace and depth!
Rob D.
Liked the app full workflow, need to update some codebase
Like: Clear explanation, easy to follow. Dislike: Different version has to debug a lot.
I love it! I had started the Tyler McGinnis react native course, but after realizing it was fairly out of date I came across this course. Same high quality as Tyler's, and slightly easier to keep up with for me. Thank you very much for providing this.
Rob
I like the file organization, the explanation by the instructor is very clear, each module taught me a new thing, but the instructor seem to be fast at some stage. Thanks to Spencer for this opportunity.
Peter O.
I think it was excellent for cutting through the cruft of RN dev and sticking to it's stated purpose. I do think it would benefit from a statement near the top that some RN experience is helpful to understand what's going on, and if that experience is lacking, point developers who are just getting started in this realm to places where they can get started with RN development.
Kelly D.
Love all the recommendations for the packages to use and eslint+prettier configuration
Albert P.
It is difficult to think of what I do not like. So far so good!
Azlan A.
The course is very comprehensive. It gives enough info to quickly dive into topic. And cover interesting moments and subtleties.
Konstantin N.
The tutorial is not up to date, nested <image /> is not supported anymore
Hands down the best RN course I have come across so far. Its better than some of the paid content I have used to learn. It touched on pretty much everything I was looking for, animations, navigation, styling, state management. Def looking forward to more content from you Spencer!
Very good course. Please add more detailed expanation with ES6 and also tell how to read documentations efficiently.
Aavgeen S.
I like everything about the course
Stas C.
I was missing the review of each code ,I think we need to highlight everything in the end of module like what we really did in the first place
verdaniel A.
Nothing its great
Sudhira
how to navigate the app in the biginner level
navigate
Very logical structure. Small enough individual lessons.
Jacques
Very simple and easy to follow
Mayowa
Thoughtfully constructed and masterfully presented.
Matloob
This tutorial might be the best one out there on React Native. Keep up the good work!
Ionut-Mihai B.
I enjoyed every bit of it, and learnt so much
Abayomi O.
I like the way you explain but sometimes you don't says exactly why you do something ( why use hoist ?? ) . But this is verry good and i expected less from a free course !
It was completely new for me, so i learned a lot about react and react-native... also just javascript... Thanx a lot! Was really helpfull!
I like how easy you explain the navigation and hot to set it up, this was one of the things I found hard to understand.
Jemal
It's best practice with learn more React
thong n.
the lessons are good yet explained too fast
Devin
I like how the course starts with small concepts/components and builds gradually on things learned and built in earlier lessons. Perfect!
Detailed and highly commented introduction course, good setup suggestions.
Awesome course! I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for giving me this chance that learn a lot of things.
Morteza A.
Love the introduction of some many useful plugins
How to build APK? About linking native libraries. What does npm run eject do?
Arun G.
Keeping the course up to date with the latest react components. I couldn't finish the animation course, and I didn't have enough knowledge to fix it myself
I'm going in as a complete beginner on react and javascript. I'm a java developer ... I like it's set up in an organised way and it's more or less object oriented. It's nice you directly see results on your phone.
Frans
This is free. So much great information at such a great price. It's really priceless stuff that you will learn.
Tommy M.
Man... plainly you are the BEST. I don't speak english, however I can follow the course without problems. Thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge
Robinson R.
Great course. Needs an update.
Great RN content and good intro to Redux. Has given me a good platform to continue exploring RN. Thanks.
Dave
Every step is carefully covered, together with a logical explanation
Simone
the github repo of code at each lesson's end is great. i've also found other students' debugging tips in the comments section very helpful. and spencer does a really nice job of walking through how each step works.
ian
this tutorial is very nice ,and missing part like draw navigator and tab navigator please let us know more about navigation
ganesh
You build the app so fast so it's sometimes hard to follow without stoping the video, but everything else is amazing.
I really like how complete the course it while introducing things in a sane way so I never get confused about where things are coming from! It's too bad but unavoidable that certain API change over time but keeping the libraries up-to-date would be great!
Robin A.
almost 7 years ago
I have some pure ReactJS experience (no Redux). Till now seamlessly learned many new React Native stuff. Great!
The course was very good in terms of people who might have some previous knowledge on the basics of react native. I'm looking to get your "common practices" once i've completed this so I can be more familiar with the fundamentals.
Uchenna C.

learn design pattern of react-native, learn config lint using project
Great content (not just a TodoList as you've said), I think it's perfectly paced for someone with a little React experience and zero RN experience. Looking forward to jumping into Redux.
Redux and Redux-Saga modules were pretty weak tbh. I had to keep going to other websites to try to understand what you were doing. Even if I didn't spend a lot of time there, other websites seemed to better explain what was going on.
I like how thorough and detailed the information is, its easy to understand.
Terence H.
I like how everything seems to be included in this easy to understand and follow tutorial. Even animation and the finer points of really bringing an app together when building with React Native.
Johnny C.
Great one
All the explanations are clear and easy to follow. I think it's important to explain the reasoning behind why the code is written a certain way, which this course has done really well.
Found it a bit fast...not the lectures but the coding part.
Alert part. Can u please explain it.
sanjeeth k.
Really easy to follow, has built my confidence in React native slowly but also brought me up to speed as I'm a beginner with React Native. Top marks all round.
Graeme
You're very good at explaining things and making sure to cover the tidbits which might stump newbies. I liked how you provided the code for the Alert component, and I was yearning to understand how it works.. Also, I've shared this course with a friend who's new to React-Native and the npm environment. The beginning bits I had to go over with him because they were a bit hacky. Obviously, these packages change so much it's not exactly possible to retrofit material, and I'm thinking there's gotta be a better way? Overall, though, top notch material! Not meaning to knock you at all.
Dillon N.
I liked that so far every step has been executed successfully (as a student).
Missing : Testing sagas !
Clement
Moss
Good overall structure for building a create-react-native-app project
Your explanation is very clear for me as beginner.
Lita N.
project structure is clean clarify, very helpful for RN beginner like me
Binh L.
I like it so far. But some areas seems to be have updated over the time. It will be great if you can have some comments on that in the lessons so the new learners won't get confused
Sameera P.
Missing ui packages
I liked literally everything. You introduced not only the basic configuration, but also a bunch of awesome tools that help us be more productive. Thanks!
Arthur D.
Its perfect can't complain all errors i had where either my fault or explained really well under the lectures and the app is running smooth.
Óttar H.
Thia course is amazing - one of the best But you should update the course because many things have changed after react upgraded
Dat
There are a few bugs here and there in the source code that I'm trying to figure out such as the back button for the CurrencyList, a promise rejecting for the Alerts, etc. but overall answering all of my react native questions. Great job!
Marshall
Exceptional guide of building an app. Provide enough basics for us to build onto
Teacher is good calm and very specific wich is nice. Material is perfect good intro to styles, modal window and alert. Im a computer Scientist but mostly backend c# so this was a nice and fast way to get into React-native and i really do like it.
How you layout your projects, I'm always worried I'll lay it out incorrectly.
Michael
Learned a lot from your super cool tutorials, Thanks man for making it free. I have a Navigation issue which become a nightmare for me, On clicking twice on a button fastly, Two navigation screen appears on the stack. I cannot find the solution. I did see the #271 issue on github, But I couldn't implement that . Can you please help . also What is the need of using a propType when we can access props from parent by just using "this.porps" ?
salim
Solid overall course - As this is a beginners course there are a few basic steps in terms of installation/brief explanation of core concepts that I wished were paid a bit more attention. Given the persistent updates of react-native, react, expo and other underlying dependencies in the project, it can be quite cumbersome to get a stable build that won't cause errors. Admittedly, that isn't the fault of this course so much as it's the tools maintained by FB, expo and other shops but it would be great to get an update for someone doing this course in Jan 2018. Seems like many of the fixes were done a few months back which themselves are somewhat out of date. I also think brief 'big-picture' explanations of core react native concepts (as they are introduced in the videos) could be helpful for those just starting out. All in all, I very much enjoyed the course and learned a good deal.
I like to learn the ideas and flows on how to construct an APP, the structure of an APP, the responses on version changes; but I some how get lost, I guess more detailed explanations could helps.
Some of the steps were not so easy to setup with later versions of react-native
would like to see some tests on sagas
I think it has to cover more things about android, there is some points that Android issues weren't covered.
Magdiel
The hands on walkthroughs are fantastic. The talk track is clear and helps the viewer understand the design.
Subi
It was a nice tutorial to setup a react native project.
informative
Over all this course is solid but there are a few things that could make it much better. First off, it appears that there's a big pitfall in the version control. Because React Native and Expo receive periodic updates, it makes it hard to figure out what libraries will work with the given dependencies used in this project. This can mean some major debugging just to get the app working properly. I also think there should be explicit directions to check the completed code after each lesson. Due to the periodic updates, there are discrepancies between what's coded on the screen and what the most recent/functional (actually working) code reveals. I completely understand now wanting to redo/retape videos of you coding the same thing (or 98%) of it, but it would be helpful to call out explicitly, areas where one or two minor changes have been made that can affect the app significantly. Lastly, I think the knowledge assumption level here is reasonable ableit a bit presumptive. It could be beneficial to quickly review core react/react native concepts the first time you introduce them (not each time) just to make sure those taking the course can get it from the beginning.
The course is not verbose, i like it :)
Victor F.
I like everything, I've missing a party of publish in the app store
Fabio
nice pace, well informative.
Shakil A.
You can follow all the process and covers a lot for begin with.
RS C.
I like almost everything on this course however the examples are too shallow or maybe less.
spencer
I absolutely loved the first part of the tutorial, especially the consistent way everything is set up. I was also very happy with the redux lessons, the way you keep repeating the same things over and over and yet adding small stuff to each repetition. I finally seem to get that circular motion, thanks!! The saga stuff was definitely worth the effort - especially for the app I'm planning. Would have been nice to add a way to keep the data stale for a minute or two, before doing a next request... If only to be nice to the Fixer server :) Maybe also retreive available currency from Fixer as well, as opposed to the data file... But I guess I should be able to do that myself now :) One other thing is that Android StatusBar - using Expo it doesn't want to play nice with the colors and all. Seems to be an issue as it's all over Google. Got it to work sort of consistently now, but it could maybe use some attention. Overall: thanks for a great course! I'll first get things stabilized and then I'm definitely planning on entering one or two of your paid subscriptions. Thanks, and lots of success with your site, Martine
Martine
Ok
I enjoyed building the app from the ground up. Sometimes the videos would change code between each lesson which caused confusion at times. Overall, this was a great introduction to React Native. Thanks Spencer!
Your lesson is great, thanks a lot. Maybe local storage was missing, in order to get back theme and initial currencies at start up.
Great job, Spencer. This is a killer tutorial. Thanks!!
Bryon L.
Great job! I found several holes in my understanding (saga, generators), which is great!
Only positive things for me! Thank you! I really like the way you build this course, it's very complete, with a lot of details et explanations. I'm excited about the next 50% :-)
Alexandre S.
I think the course is awesome! Only one thing is missing - how to pop previous screen from stack after you go to another (login screen for example)
Pavle
I really like your project organization structure. I've done some other Udemy classes but I think yours is the best. Thanks for doing this!!
Andy D.
I liked how many things are mentioned in the course and that it's a step by step tutorial, easy to follow.
I love the way this course is set up, where every lesson will have bits of code that may seem like overkill, but actually teach valuable stuff, that is more easily understood within the context of the app. I'm glad that you often just let issues happen, let me think about solutions first and thén tell me what to do about them. I also very much like the consistent way in which you set up and then build the app, from dummy to the real stuff, all the time making sure that everything still works properly. I'm using a newer version of react, and the only thing I ran into was that PropTypes is now a separate module, but that's easily remedied. No other issues at this point! One of the best courses I've seen - and not only for React nor even free. Thank you so much!!!
I really liked all of the clear easy to follow set up info. The mind-blower was setting up lint-stage and husky to have linting and formatting on commits to a git repo. I also use Visual Studio Code so it was a big win to see that in particular but I could see if I wasn't I'd still get a lot out of this. Also I really liked the way of organizing the app. Everything is so nicely categorized from app structure to styles to navigation. It's a lot of boon to bring back to my team.
Good job on trying to keep things up-to-date. Like giving a heads up on the changes around PropTypes. Helpful to explain there are differences in Android and iOS in terms of layout and trying to pick the one that suits your application best.
I liked all of it, Hoping redux is not too hard
Lucas A.
The most complete course
Mauricio B.
Extremely helpful course! It covered almost every topics that I wanted to learn.
Md S.
Really great overview of tools, tips and tricks for beginner and intermediate React Native developers. One thing I was confused with was where your ios and android directories were in the structure lesson. The app directory contained all your React Native code but wouldn't there be directories for your native platforms as well?
Joshua P.
I'm glad that Android is addressed, but it feels like an afterthought at times. The speed is great; no mucking around.
Julius S.
Excellent pace and cadence. Great that the source code was available after each session. It would have been nice to explain how the application props and state is affected after each component like react-navigator and react-redux is integrated into the application.
Great course, would be good to learn how you made the super awesome error AlertProvider
I missed Redux setup
Ron A.
Good foundation course for people who already have an understanding of mobile development already.
John A.
Thanks for sharing currency converter free course. All the online courses I watched on internet I believe this is the best course available online for learning react native.
Shankar
I liked the way you're introduce the capabilities of RN and useful tools.
As I am new to react-native, your tutorial really help me a lot. The explanation was outstanding , crystal clear. Thanks mate.
Easy to follow, good content.
Liked: straightforward course Not liked: none What's missing: more about ejected apps from Expo
Overall the quality of the course is excellent! I really found it helpful that you went through all the details in short videos, and that the updated code could be found in github if some changes have been made since the videos were uploaded. I had a bit of trouble with getting eslint to work, and had to customize it my own way (no airbnb etc.) in the end, but otherwise I didn't find any problems.
Minna
Thanks, I am learning a lot, third party libraries are always needed, thanks for explain us
Awesome guide especially starting from non react native background, the learning and experience is superb, hope to see more great work from Spencer @handlebarlabs soon
Wilson

redux is confusing
lokesh p.
Where there are discrepancies in the process for Android vs iOS, it would be useful (as well as the vague notice at the top of the page), to have explicit timestamps for when these differences first present themselves. Otherwise, it's not clear whether you are seeing a genuine error, or whether you should just press on and wait for all to be revealed later (e.g. the keyboard event listeners not being the same for Android in one of the videos).
I wish you gave a little more consideration to Android throughout the series so far. There are several times where at the end of the video the app works on iOS but has minor glitches on Android. These can usually be fixed by checking the forums, but it would be useful if you included a blurb by the "Completed Lesson Code" section.
Aaroh M.
It is great course! I've learn some new plugins such as prettler. Thank you! It will be better if you attach link to some example project on GitHub.
Ilgiz
I like the practical approach. I can feel the experience in the instructor. I learned many useful things in a very short time! I think the course can provide downloadable content to use as quick reference about bootrapping project, project structure and react navigation concepts
Jesé R.
Great course. It gives a great base to start building more complex apps. I think the use of redux-saga was to complicate it a little bit too much.
Johnny Z.
I like that you touched on so many features and gave a good overview of all of them.
Great!
some of the npm's are not supporting in android so im unable to solve those ex:-@expo/vector-icons
Like - Super Easy Step by Step Guide and Easy to Understand from Spencer Guide Dislike - Close to None, maybe Some Parts Are Deprecated Missing - More Tutorial Please :D
Wilson K.
Wonderful job Man. I love what you've shared in this course. It helps a lot!!
Jakub
It could be a little more in depth into descriptions of react code, not just functionality of the program.
Easy to understand. Clear objectives while explaining.
Krishna
The best React Native Course I've ever followed. Actually the only one that I finished because others didn't keep me motivated. Everything is well explained!!
I have known Handlebar Labs through their articles in Medium and I have been following their work since then, I really enjoyed this course, it helped me to configure some things and give me a different view about some things that will help me with the development and with my work , I did not miss anything during the course, I think it was quite complete and direct. I am waiting for the opportunity to acquire your other courses, I am providing a credit card for this and I hope it works so that I can acquire some of your knowledge :D
Claudio O.
To the point info delivered in a timely manner.
I understood the react native concept via this tutorial. Thanks a lot!
Ki H.
A little bit of outdated. It'd be great if it gets some update and include development on Android. At the end of the course, I have a white status bar which also occur to your very own app on Expo. Great course overall and thank you for your lessons.
Highly informative, best for beginners!
Aman M.
A bit redundant so I've skipped a few of the screens and increased the speed. Given the option I'd rather keep it as is than make it less comprehensive. I've been fearing starting app development, but this lecture makes it seem really obtainable
Would be awesome to include commands ran or the code snippets. Had to rewind and pause a few times while updating my eslintrc
Awesome courser, congratulations. Very clear way to teach and VERY informative. Thank You.
Rafael G.
Overall, I thought everything was great! I come from a React and Redux background, but watching how someone lays out a React Native app and seeing the repetition in the videos (setting up a new Component, remembering to wrap things in a <View>, little tidbits about styling a View, not a TouchableOpacity, etc.) were super helpful. I would love to see some additional videos on Testing and the best way to set that up and execute it. (Not sure if that's in another course or not). I plan on purchasing the "React Native to Production" course - this course was a great introduction, and I feel confident that the next course is well worth the money! I would be interested in learning about other courses you offer. Thanks so much for your work on this - I know it's a labor of love and a marketing tool for you, but the amount of work to produce high quality videos and explanations is evident. Much appreciated!!
Jacob S.
Amazing job spencer, perfect implementation of finite state machines
Araf
Many things are outdated. Please update the course. The course is mostly done in iOS but there are many differences in Android that you didn't cover and caused me a lot of confusions and frustrations. A lot of comments were months old and some are unanswered even now. Aside of that, you have done a good job. It's easy to follow when everything works.
Love it overall. Would like to see logging in with an api and logging in with Facebook or other service examples.
have to type instead of cut and paste ...
I liked the tweaks and code-formatting you showed. Really nice stuff

Very good for beginners, but as senior I’ve learned a few new things, thanks. I use Hot Reloading a lot when I setup/debug component’s style, you should have a deeper look on that, missing extensions list for Sublime or Atom (I’ll send you that)
Laurent R.
The clear and concise explanations and Spencer calm and trustworthy voice gave me confidence to start developing React native apps with an clean and productive environment
Breno S.
Really good setup guide, would recommend it to anyone starting RN development!
Anders F.
This is by far the most comprehensive, well-rounded, and in-depth tutorial for React Native, it's absolutely incredible. Spencer is an amazing teacher!
Ahmed A.
Really detailed course, although it has been quite some time since the making of the course, most of it still works, keep this up.
Leo Y.
why use yarn instead of npm?
It would be good if you have a video step by step, which file should be created first for example config, change the App, create a redux store or others
Addin
I love the linting and prettier chapters. And of course the Organizing chapter. I'll keep this is a hard reference.
Andy S.
I like you folder structure, Your editor Configuration, navigation configuration, styling, debugging. In fact if you are sending an army upfront, you have packed them will all the weapons to win
Joseph C.
All perfectly!
Anton
Currently I don't have any stuck when follow your guide. It's very understand for beginner when learning React Native.
Tuan L.
I would like a better explanation on what expo can be useful for and when not to use expo. If I'm going to talk to a client about creating an app I would like to be able to choose the correct path for that app based on the prerequisites. Other than that this is a great intro!
Broken up well. Would have been nice if you'd gone deeper into the debugging, setting up react-devtools and reactitron
Chris G.
Everything is easy to follow. Good content.
voidan
I would rather get answers to my questions asked in the comet of the lessons, this is extremely important for me. Sometimes he just bring stuff up without explaining the reasons
Awesome! You helped me!
Juma
Nice and quick important tips & tricks
Dávid L.
Fantastic overview of a solid starting setup. Clear directions and helpful insights into packages used, etc. Thanks again Spencer!
Setting up linting and prettier for the project
Satya
Well organized course content and flow. Detailed explanation. Practical and hands-on experience! I'm an absolute beginner - an UX designer wanting to step up to build the actual interface using react/ react native. Previously I took some udemy courses to learn ES6, react and react native. For this course, I would like to hear more about the common mistakes, thought process, DOs and DON'Ts throughout the course. Just to name a few: - presentational vs container components - when to use library or build your own components (like "react-native-elements") - the common practice (like how to name, what to use etc) Furthermore, I found this very interesting - https://medium.com/dailyjs/11-mistakes-ive-made-during-react-native-redux-app-development-8544e2be9a9 For 5. Wrong project structure, I searched this topic online and looked into many github projects, looking for which project structure suits me most. "containers" or "screens" folder. Anyway, I'll definitely going to take the next course (react native production and the meteor one).
Very high quality professional looking app so far. Unfortunately due to the nature of react always changing, a few things are already out of date. (ex: PropTypes, haven't been separated from react)
Excellent source for learning react native! Thank you Spencer!
Martin
Bit more detail on the saga functions
Maybe talk more about architecture and the patterns used in React- Native
Everything was great, the explanations were great, I'm gonna look for some more tutorials from you.
Radu
Awesome. However, few issues occurring on the android not expected especially related to UI.
Great stuff. Love the pace and the length is just about right. Content is top notch!
Bruno B.
Very well organised lesson material. Good clarity in walking through various steps, especially the redux saga stuff.
Murty G.
Very clear. Nice pace, good detail. There is background hum in the audio at higher volumes - maybe use a better mike or a headset mike? Also, there are some old things and npm issues that haven't been kept up to date with later RN versions, but in general, your course is way more up to date than most RN courses, so thanks for being on top of those changes! :-) Well done overall and I would highly recommend this course!
The best React Narive course I have found!!! Perfect attitude towards teaching this stuff
I like the extremely well organized architecture of the application. I decided to take the course based on the expected resulting app. But the organization of the app, building all the pieces and putting them to work, feels like it's really easy.
Florencio L.
Covering so much comprehensively, really appreciate how well this is put together and how it builds the app at a more professional level.
Misha
I liked the estructure
Joas A.
One of the best classed on the internet for react native. For this most part this class use the current tools such as expo and very easy to follow along!
sure
I liked the way the project is structured. Repeated practice is designed in the curriculum. I am encouraging my team members to sign up. I will also subscribe to the Forum.
Awesome course for a beginner.
PraveenApk
Course is good.
Krishan
I think its very fast, there were a lot of things that i had to see over and over again
Everything was great, love the way you structure your project and use prop types.
Sumesh A.
Very detailed, like the way you handle the folder structure.
Gave me an overall understanding of react native app. I have been creating react apps for a while now, but this course gave me good conceptual knowledge about some modules like redux-saga.
Jitendra S.
completed the entire course which was great. i just noticed i missed this survey...and wanted to use this to suggest possibly moving the ES6 supplemental content to the beginning of the course (for those already familiar they could skip..but for many (like me) i think the brief read through the supplemental page would have allowed me to get through some of the modules without pausing to look up some ES6-y things externally. Thank you!
Enjoyed the course so far. Voiceovers are concise, and informative.
some term its hard to understand, without supporting document, more on concept ex : module, nested,
hadi
Including a Test Driven Approach to building such an application.
Inconsistency with the code if you follow from the beginning. Method naming has changed from previous chapters.
Really like how this appears to exercise most of the what can be done (screens, components, global/local variables, navigation, lists, remote calls, etc. I think some things are shown without much explanation though (e.g. when/why to use things like "export default" vs "export"...when/why to "extend Component (although you do mention a couple times that this is because there will be some functions created). So might be nice to know why some things are being done and the effect those have vs alternative. But overall, this is awesome.
Grey
really informative and clear
Jubi
Easy to follow, very very few breaking changes, instructor has a good, clear speaking voice. I really appreciate that as he's entering css he takes care to verbally say each attribute and its property which makes it easy to type along.
Luke
super awesome course
Mudit
All except always need a break to find new way how it's work (like PropTypes, Image in Image), dont need to update video but some alerts on top of page would be great.
Biromain
Everything was great so far.
It's easy to follow for someone with little rest experience!!

Thank you so much for your so far valuable courses. We can see big aspects of a react app without being destructure with 50 tutorials who doesn't talk about same thing.
good

The course is really good in the way that it shows how React native can be used to make a real world app.
Vikrant N.
I'm a beginner in React Native. And this is the type of course I was hoping to find. It shows most of the use cases and most importantly doesn't leave out redux integration. Very clear explanation. I'm very greateful. Now I can develop my own apps. Thank you for taking your time to create this course.
Outstanding react native tutorial
Scott M.
everything went on quite well :D may be I think you should slow up a bit
Sarath V.
I liked how the directories were setup and seeing it come together. I really appreciate the organization of it all. I wish there was more explanation about what we were doing and why; at times it felt like I was just duplicating logic without learning why it made sense. I have had a great experience so far doing this course. It is very much appreciated! I also appreciate your responsiveness.
Everything is Awesome. P\lease same Detailed Session for ES6 and Java script Advance.
by far the best tutorial I've found on react native
some libraries like prop types are moved to standalone but the videos and code reference it from react
1. I like your way of explanation. 2.For iOS and android developer the flow of screen and language is little difficult to understand. If possible, please provide same detail lecture on ES6 and JSX.
this is a great course and explained very well. There are certain updates in react native platform related to prop-types now not being part of 'react'. If you can add it as a note in the first few video tutorials, it will save a lot of time for the users
It's a great introduction to the React Native world. Clearly explained project structure. Integrating a new component into the app shown in a very detailed and easy to follow manner. Nice variety of components used. Clearly shown how designing the UI can be split from app logic etc. Really great job. Thank you for your effort.
I can honestly say that the React Native training is possibly the best training I have ever been to of this type.
Its very helpful to know about react native
Skipping over HOC creation or at least an explanation... I wanted to do something similar in an App I'm making and was hoping this tutorial would show me as I bought your Production Tutorial and it was included there but not explained. Comments would event be helpful.
Rhys
I wish you would explain the connect and provider components in an optional video, other than that great so far, looking forward to the redux video
I liked pretty much everything. I wish I had found this a long time ago.
Paras
Everything was great! Thank you very much. I'd like to see more information about styling components, and how its doing.

It was really great. Course hits the most important stuff for beginners like me
Overall, it was a really good course. I was able to follow along even with the incovenience of some methods deprecated you have those useful notes to let us know the possible issues. The biggest issue I encountered was that I also did the "optional" one about use redux to handle the navigation state and that messed up with the other modules. Some warning about how to fix it or a note about it would have been great!
Victoria
It was amazing, I wish you could make a login screen.
Really great tutorials, I wish there was a little more detail in the beginning modules explaining more of how React Native works. However, you eventually pick up a lot of it throughout the course.
Great course, very clear and accurate. Thank you, Spencer! You can dismiss this part when quote my review. Its only for you Spencer. But as for me, i feel lack of information how to get apk, and ios app files, and ejecting the projects from expo.
Great course. I'm pretty new to RN, and this course taught me so much. Too much to list really, but the main things so far are the best practices in organizing the code and the component building. About to start the redux part. Can't wait.
Taylor
Fast, intuitive workflow using Expo; very clear how to follow along with the videos; some issues with getting the react-navigation module to install properly that took a bit of troubleshooting. But overall, a great tutorial experience!
Jon
I really like it, it's helping me a lot to learn react-native. I come from the Android native development and it's being super helpful. Thanks!
sanit k.
The format is great so far. Learning the UI and how to put it together is usually the foreign component. You explain it well. What is missing is why you use the third party libs that you do. You should explain why you are using them instead of assuming it.
elguntor
I find implementing Offline consideration using React Native very interesting, and setting up the Jest with/out Snapshot, considered to be helpful on the long run. I haven't got to the second module, since my aim is to deploy the android app as soon as possible and iterate afterwards.
ahp
I felt I got a through entry to React Native and Redux, everything was clearly explained. I would like more links to extra information, the course includes some for e.g. Redux, but since the course also is for people that are new to js and npm a couple of links to extra reading would enhance the course greatly.
Kasper L.
Concepts were clearly explained, instructor was responsive, a lot of useful basics were demonstrated.
Nice structure where you build on previous lessons so it makes sense when you introduce new concepts. I would like more of a guide on how to manage package versions and other basic js stuff, if not here then a link to some basics would be great, since I am taking this course because I am not experienced with npm etc.
It give me an overview how Redux (Actions - Reducers - Store) works, and after three examples, I gain better understanding. Thank you.
Everything is just fine
Deyan M.
Loves the first part with the UI, but the second part from Redux became quite complex, quite quickly.
Christian
The step by step programming and narration help on understanding, why particular components, elements are included. A suggestion would be to elaborate the index, with a diagram on how of each .js communicate among each other, like, index.js, styles.js, and the {main component}.js. This would help future coders gain a better overview, before they watch your video. It is also possible to add this as the short review, which file were created and how they communicate with each other.
you should upload in youtube so that it will reach all and you can earn some $ to keep you upload more concept in other technology.
yuvaraj
Nice work overall, using persistent storage to store theme preference could be a nice addition.
THANKS FOR THIS COURSE AND THE WAY YOU HAVE PRESENTED IT GOOD AND UNDERSTANDING. THE ONE THING IS MISSING THAT IS DOWNLOAD OPTION FOR VIDEO.
YUVARAJ
everthing is great

Handling Errors isn't working for me. The course is very great and help me in understand a lot things about react native! Thanks for that!
Thiago B.
It's really well-organized and easy to follow
This course is amazing. Covers all that i need, including setting up the app, folder organization, navigation, error checking, all the small things, as well as the bigger issues like redux and api. Highly recommended.
I really like to learn about React Native in the context of building a full fledged app. The choice of app is great -- it is simple enough to implement it but rich enough to cover all real issues for development. Great work!
Brian H.
The pacing is phenomenal and that's super important. Too slow and it drags, too fast and you have to keep rewinding (excessively). You explain every little thing with such detail and share all the 'gotchas' which will save everyone so much time. Cannot praise this course enough!
Clear and concise explanations of the concepts covered
Liam
I think snapshot testing isn't ok for reducers and actions.
This is the best react-native tutorial for beginner like me. I like how you structure files/components, it made me easier to understand how stuff works on mobile development
sonikiut
Covered most important concepts and React-Native modules. Was a bit too fast paced (I am more a beginner, with med. JS skills).
I really like the step-by-step explanation of hooking up React Navigation with Redux. I got hung up here and it's really cool to see how everything is wired up. To be hones, I'd pay money for this course!
This was perfect. I feel like I have a much better understanding of React Native and have better ways of thinking of this stuff. I feel smarter even though you did a lot of the work. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly and walking through so many different bits and pieces of the process. THANK YOU.
like the very well structured and explained details,not like the data design explaination
fakhr
I really, really, really, REALLY like that you have the sections with what code changed for each lesson. That has helped me to find mistakes and typos that I may have missed.
Brent
I loved it and I feel like I'm ready to build my own app. I would also have liked to see a bit of regression testing. How do you make sure that changes you make won't break existing code? Also is there any way to ensure that your reducers are pure?
Jean d.
Spencer, your tutorial is awesome. Thank you very much for putting all these videos together. If you ever in Paris I'll buy you a lunch.
Very well done, one small suggestion would be to turn off the definitions window that pops up VSC, it's often covering the line above it which is often the last line you typed.
Thomas J.
I really love this course and feel that I am learning - however - I think some concepts are glossed over too quickly (considering this is a beginner's course) and in general you speak fairly quickly. I'm able to follow along but wouldn't mind just a hair slower pace, a little more detail per concept, and perhaps more explanations as to why you do things certain ways (for example, why do we use PropTypes? I took Stephen Grider's complete react native course and he never once used them. Are there pros and cons to it? Better error debugging I assume, but I'd feel more comfortable with explicit reasoning behind choices. Overall, very pleased though.
Dash N.
Testing (TDD, E2E) parts with Jest would be great addition
Everything is ok
Vlad
I like everything the way of style that how you teach.
Mutahar M.
The course is great!
Awesome course! Create introduction to react native. I felt that modules 5 & 6 were slightly unnecessary, or at least didn't fit within the scope of an "intro to react native" course. Perhaps they could be separated into a separate redux / store mgmt course. However, there is something to be said about ending up with a fantastic jumping off place to start building your own apps.
Grant G.
very complete tutorial; clear explanations; uses up-to-date versions (so all things actually work - which is more than can be said for a lot of paid courses on Udemy).
I haven't gotten Alert component. I thinks you will improve it in next Module
Hieu P.
Great course! Explanations are well presented. I like the idea of an available slack group, which I am a member of. I also appreciate that you make any relevant notes when changes to a library have changed.
Jeff T.
I like that you are actually building something with complexity and that the content is up-to-date.
Renato J.
This course is extremely fun and cool, thanks so much for putting this together! This has been a huge help and it is all presented in a really clear way. THANK U
Clearly taught without skipping steps or giving instructions based on assumed knowledge.
almost all features are covered except of maybe tab navigations and drawer. But overall thanks a lot, will use this as some kind of boilerplate for my project.
Andrii S.
By far the best react tutorial out there! Very complete with production ready code, giving the right structure, tools and patterns for building proper react apps. Amazing!
It's a great course, finally I could understand redux! haha thank you
wow, that's awesome. I think every think is perfect, Thank you for make it. Thanks alot
Mostafa s.
The AlertProvider part was skipped. That is confusing for beginners. Although I know it some of ur students won't. & I guess we could've gone without the Provider. Simple Alert in each component could've been easier to follow.
Hello from Russia, Spencer! Very nice course! Rarely to see such wonderful course like this one. I love React Native, but i'm newbie in it and often it is very difficult to search and learn some moments for solving my appIication's tasks. But your course helps me in different moments for optimizing code, for different tasks's solutions etc. I hope you'll make more courses like this, where you discover for me and other people new things of RN's world. For example, i have big interest in TabNavigator, especially in event handling of tab's press. May be it will be in next videos of this course, i'll see it soon :). Wanna pay your non-free courses in nearly future especially "RN in production" and "Hadlebars community" when i'll take some money for that :) Good luck you and big thanks! P.S. Sorry for my bad english ;)
Aleksandr -.
Overall, I'm very happy with this course. The explanations are clear and easy to understand. Having links to the starting and ending commits of a module are very helpful. My only complaint was the code comments in the editor often blocked the code during your explanations. I simple rewind of the video skirts the issue, but a little frustrating at times. I plan to buy the React Native to Production course. I like the option of the free course as we get to experience your teaching style and delivery before the commitment of a purchase. Thank You for your time and work on this!
Sometimes it would help to get more into detail of certain topics, I liked that organized coding style tho.. I learned so much about organizing an react native app
Maurice
Videos were very informative. Everything well explained.
Ryan S.
I really like it, but will you consider doing an updated version since propTypes is no longer supported and react-navigation has changed?
Neevash
I really liked the way you teach, going in-depth and hitting every point. I think you should've spent more time on redux-saga, even I would suggest you to make a separate screencast or tutorial of it, as there are not many resources available online that one can learn saga from without pounding his head onto the wall.
this course is too awesome thank you for making it free!
Eliezer P.
What I like is a detail explanation and step by step learning process.
So far, it's been a very comprehensive course.
Ishita
This is the best course on ReactNative I've ever seen. But what to say, not only about ReactNative, but also the best course I've seen.
This is the single most comprehensive tutorial for react native. Every react native developer need to watch it at least once. Spencer shows you the best practices and elegant coding for production level applications. The only downside is if you are an absolute beginner you might have to do some catching up.
Firoz A.
I like everything in this course. It was amazing!
Great step by step building the app. I'm still wondering why don't you use the Redux Thunk instead of Redux Saga? And can they be used together? And also, the Login screen and authentication is missing. I do really appreciate if you add login and authentication feature on your app for future purposes.
Triaji K.
I have dead serious question. WHY VIDEOS? Videos are complete waste of time. Watching someone type, then explain those thing or waiting build to be completed on video straight up unnecessary. I'm not just sitting and watching tutorial, instead split screen into two, then write same things on my own, tweak little things to see what changes what. But if with videos I have to constantly pause, rewind, play video.
Very well presented course with up to date processes and systems. Evidence of problems quickly being corrected based on feedback. Keeping a course valid in the context of React Native is difficult, this course has done that very well.
The videos are well laid out and easy to follow. I really like the git repositories for each module, it makes it easy to start over if you mess up.
Bryan
It was simple and clear to follow the instructions, where i got confused i could always refer to the comments of the code diffs. Lot of the time my issues where simple code errors so being able to pause and compare was having understood the instruction was wonderful
Shaksi
I'd like some more details on setting up the dev environment and more foundational information on React and RN.
Javier C.
using this as a refresher course for react native, nothing I've noticed needs improvement, great course
Christian A.
Maybe some (SHORT) theory. I like the practical approach in the videos, but was a bit confused in the start.
Danielle
I like the course content and how beautifully it is organised.
I didn't watch the whole tutorial but I see that maps are missing :) Btw I appreciate your work a lot! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Tomislav S.
That's an outstanding course! The only downside is that it's on expo. Not a native one.
David L.
I like the in-depth coding with showing the results of each action written in code
Kunle A.
I liked the detailed explanations and detailed approach to the code
The course thus far has be very helpful and the way the videos are set up makes it very easy to follow. I didn't like the set-up section for the editor since I had to ignore the auto update feature of prettier in order to follow.The issues with the difference between android and IOS could of been handled differently for example maybe adding time stamps to the top of the video so people know what difference they are expected to have during the video. The default text that is currently being used doesn't give the user much information on what to expect. There are also minor changed between the videos and the github repos such as variable names. The course however is the best course to learn the basics of React Native
Keon P.
I loved how the course covered through a ton of stuff all while building a real world application. Spencer does a really good job not making assumptions as he progresses through the tutorial! After I was done, I was like I wish he would have covered deployment to production. Then I saw he had a separate course on it! It was $50 but I did not hesitate to make the purchase because the free course "React Native Basics" was so well done & provided tons of value that I knew his "React Native to Production" tutorial would be worth it.
Sal H.
That was a greet introduction to React Native from some one who just grasp React concepts, and it helps me to think in component.
Mame M.
I liked that the content was organised and that you explained the reasoning behind it. Helped me build an app template for myself :)
Gaëllan
I liked the diversity of topics covered in building this seemingly very simple app. I appreciate your time putting it all together and sharing it for free. I hope I can pay you back one day. From my personal experience, considering the fact that I am almost a complete beginner, it is quite hard to keep up with the pace and trying to figure out the logic behind all the steps that are shown in video tutorials.
Overall, it is a very impressive introduction. I usually prefer to learn by reading over videos, but these are going well. The topics are really well structured. The only thing I would add is maybe a list of suggested learning resources for things that are out of scope for this course.
Douglas L.
good: teacher, tempo, explanations, structure bad: bigger picture missing, video player high cpu usage on older hardware
Phil
This was a fantastic introduction to React Native. The videos were clear, concise and informative and I enjoyed building an actual app. This is as good or better than any paid React Native course I've used. Thanks!
Aaron G.
I like the link of the completed lesson code very much.
Mei
I like that it covered many different parts of react-native : nav, components, styles
Great tutorial ! Redux module helped me alot !
Constantinescu V.
I love how easy it was to follow. However, for an absolute beginner to React and React Native, it was a challenge to put it all together, especially in the Redux and Redux Saga modules. All in all, this tutorial can help get me started on building that app I've been wanting to build. Thank you! I was the one who e-mailed you about getting financial aid for your paid course (which I bought). See you in that course!
Mina
Great course! Helped me to build basic react native applications
Nitin
great tutorial, only missing thing is some test
Jay
Very well explained and cover a lot of subjects
To the point with a focus on essential techniques for making quality apps: navigation, animation, working with api, and the bonus of redux.
Pal T.
Fantastic tutorial! Very well structured course.
Really enjoyed the course. Spencer is clear about his setup and code architecture and he walks you through his thought process carefully. He clearly demonstrates how to implement navigation, animation, redux, and sagas.The final product comes out clean! If there's one thing that could be thrown in here, I would love to see how we might do e2e and unit testing on this project. Otherwise, totally satisfied my learning curve. Thank you!
Julian H.
Liked the overall setup, IDE, details around why certain libs are selected
The course covered all the concepts from the basic level to the more complex ones in a very clear and understandable way for a beginner
Abhi G.
Awesome, dead easy to follow. Covering some of the other features of fastlane (screenshots) would be nice
The explanations, the speed, the content, basically everything was perfect. Best tutorial I've ever gone through!
Sandro M.
The explication is great!
Christian N.
Really easy to follow. Spencer is a great teacher! Enjoyed every single lesson. Thanks for the great course!
Mike K.
Simple explanation. To the point. Easy for beginners to learn
The tutorial was clean and lean - really well done. One topic I was missing is the re-rendering of listviews after CRUD operations, which is in my opinion one of the big performance issues of react-native once the app is installed in low-performance phones.
Ugo
Me again. I just thought I'd add more information to my previous feedback. As I've got 3 projects on my plate now, I feel overwhelmed. After a week of reflection on this, I just found out I don't have a bird eye view on each project. I know I can code the apps, but I don't know where to start. This course has got it all, but one small piece might be missing. I would have loved to watch one video about the overall methodology/process: 1. Design each screen and how it'll look like in the end (+ animations). 2. You now know how many screens/components you need to code. 3. Code each screen/component separately. 4. This is how they all fit together with react navigation, redux and redux-saga in your editor. Could this be the part missing before porting the app to the stores? This course is excellent. Looking forward to buying your paid course when I'm ready. Do you think I should buy "RN to Production" before I'm ready?
Alain F.
The separations of modules, clear file structure, and handy tips but I wish it would be more dynamic and also had more depth on some topics like Redux or the react-native basic components, also I used Immutable.js for the state which I wish you used, so I could had an example and tips ;)
Bruno W.
I liked everything, the professor is very good, teaching with very easy to understand terms
Jefferson M.
There's lots of videos around the web about this topics, but here, Spencer has gathered all his experience on releasing apps to the wild. Having all this compiled data in just one place is priceless!
MGS C.
I really like this course, Hope you have more courses same this.
Duy N.
The course is well documented and That makes it easy for someone who's just starting with react native to follow
Lindo
Course is awesome, I think about to join the community to solve some tricky questions or to enroll for react native meteor js. I would like to see how to create a swipe in a scrollview and how to avoid conflicts between those two animations
Oleg
I Liked your coding Style and organization style a lot:)
Mo
I couldn't finish the blue screen because of too many errors
moshe e.
I like how info was introduced, the level of course introduction and diction&pronunciation are awesome and helpful for understanding the overall meaning. Thanks a lot Spencer! P.S. Some topics(particular video) even helped me ongoing working tasks or opened for me new vision on how re-organize my code...I really appreciate your effort for React Native community!
Andrew B.
Code principles and project structure was new for me and this course gave me enough knowledges to create my own app.
Dmitry L.
I liked that he explained at the beginning of every tutorial the final view or functionality of each video tutorial, I also liked that he explained all really well, not fast paced nor slow paced. It is a complete tutorial with all the knowledge you need to fell confident about building react native apps
Osledy B.
I think its a all right course but i am little bit lost about creating too many files too much fluff you can write react native only one js but its a style issue however i havent finished yet but i am loosing index.js style.js for ever component and its getting too much sometimes anyway thanks again
ayhan
I loved the process from start to finish on how everything fits together. The steps and the importance of each one of them. How every step is broken down makes showed me how you take a complex task, break it down and execute on each one to produce a beautiful mobile app. Now every time I start a project, I go back and re-watch the steps! Loved it!
Database missing. Would have loved to see how you use graphql. 90% of apps use some kind of database. I've already answered this survey via email. Loved the steps by step, complex is broken down to the simple steps.
The course is great for starters, it covers the latest technologies and Expo, which is a great tool to use RN and share your beta development with colleagues. It uses Redux which is a must have for any React or React Native app and finally, it explains some basic concepts of React Navigation, which is the queen of React Navigation packages so far.
I loved how Spencer didn't skip "obvious", hard or boring parts. Instead he showed every part of building this app. Great video quality, great platform.
Hugo S.
Great tutorial. Learned a lot. Everything is very well explain, Spencer has very good attention to detail.
Joao M.
I liked the step by step explanations as it went through. I liked that the mistakes weren't edited out, just corrected.
Terry L.
I liked how succinct the videos were, no waste of my time, nothing unnecessary. It's just perfect. You definitely know how to explain stuffs. There's nothing I don't like so far.
Joe-Bernick R.
This was hands-down one of the best technology tutorials I've ever taken! Spencer's react native tutorial was brilliant in how it introduced a variety of concepts -- such as navigation, styling, accounting for multiple platforms (iOS, Android), folder structure and much more -- while building an actual app that worked. I have recommended this course to as many people as will listen and they are consistently as impressed and appreciative as I am.
sara i.
Please do note that I haven't finished my free course (this one: React Native Basics: Build a Currency Converter). I'm still at 44% the last time I checked. The tutorial and information you gave is actually one of the easiest to understand I could find, after I tried some other online learning websites related to React Native (the free ones of course :p). There's one thing that keeps people like me (people with short attention span) to hear someone talking on a video for more than ~5 minutes. After that, I usually lost either my interest or focus (or both if it's a really long video). Thus, I forgot what I just learned and I have to repeat whatever it is that I just watched. It's different when I read, though. I could read for as long as, well, until I get hungry, thirsty or something to do with the toilet. What I want to say is, maybe you might want to keep your videos a little bit shorter and leave the detail somewhere else easy to see. Something like a combination of the free Android courses by Udacity (a really short videos but compact in terms of information) and the free react native course by Shoutem school (this one: https://school.shoutem.com/). The one by shoutem is actually in a form of text tutorial accompanied by a supporting video, not the other way around. You could also gave a tutorial in testing and maybe introduce your viewer to do unit-test while you code. That would be super useful. Regarding your email that you wanted to add React-navigation content, while it's also important, learning a slightly complex state management with mobx/redux, project structuring for small, medium and large application also testing are also important. I would love to learn that too from a more experienced programmer. Again my opinion is based on your free course. I wasn't (or maybe 'am not') sure if your content really worth the money since the currency difference between US$ and mine is quite large. PS: Sorry for the long text
I p.
Practical example of React Native
Mike R.
The way the course is built is really amazing which covers all the basic things which is essential for a beginner to get a job or to enhance the knowledge if you are curious to know. For a basic course this covers all, but for intermediate I would really like to build a clone app like Uber in react-native, airbnb in react-native etc
Abdul K.
Excellent intro to React Native and some of the current best practices in the community. It got me on track for creating my own projects with a good app structure and lots of useful details on both UI and state management.
Markus T.
Although I only completed about half of the course (I only did the intro bits and then the stuff about RN I really needed to to know for the project I was working on), I can't think of anything that either annoyed me, wasn't clear or that I wish it had covered. There was no annoying music/intro titles before every course, needed source code was right there, audio and video quality was fine, seemed to be just the right level of detail (for me at least) and a few Android/iPhone gotchas were covered as well.
Chucky D.
I appreciated the fact that, in the beginning you went over topics in great detail, such as setting up extended stylesheets, but as the course progressed, you did not repeatedly go through the same actions over and over. The modules were broken up into easily digestible pieces and it was reassuring to see a new piece of working functionality at the end of each module. Overall, it was a fantastic course and I learned a great deal about React and React Native!
J P.
The only thing that I didn't like is your mouth noise. You could use the mic a bit far away from you or something like this to avoid theses noises.
Gustavo M.
Spencer does a fabulous job of explaining all the nuances of building an app from scratch, even including setting up your own dev environment. He clearly explains Redux and React Navigation and a range of topics. Totally worth taking this course!
Rob C.
I like the fact that it gave me a head start on working around React Native. To be honest, I've been digging around the internet for quite some time and learning the technology was so overwhelming for me since the setup really took a lot of my time and I can't seem to find a reliable source who's also very engaged with the students. The course did entice me to study more about the technology and its corresponding libraries and dependencies, made me dig more. In my opinion, the big plus-ses, if there is such a word, about your lecture are the brief notes relating to the topic, modularized lessons (which made it fairly easy to understand and setup the project), updated Github branches and the comment section. If there's one thing I want to improve, which I think is also essential for Agile Development and "fail-fast" developments, is for you to suggest a UI framework or a Components framework. I think, its the developer's job to find for frameworks, but it would also be nice to have some suggestions from a reliable source. I'll be forever grateful for this lecture of yours. In the future, I'd be sending you some of the apps that I'll be developing, through email or probably Twitter direct messaging, just so you know how proud I am to become one of your students. Thank you very much!
Arjay O.
i'am always erorr with config expo dan i not yet to continue your course. but soon as possible
Joko S.
The course helps beginners and intermediate JavaScript developers to start building react native apps. A little more in-depth tutorial about forms- for example : how to build a basic form / Login form etc. would have helped. Also some information about API calls how to load data, basic middleware, redux intro etc. would interest the user for next series of classes. But I will be honest you are awesome and the best instructor anyone can find for react native. There is nothing to improve on your content delivery. Keep up the great work.
Kiran
Spenser presents the concepts very clearly. I recommend his courses to my co-workers and anyone I mentor as my favorite teacher. The true genius of teaching is presenting complex material in a manner that is easy to grasp.
Tim M.
missing upgradation
Santosh s.
I really like what you organize files & code, but I already understood the way react work so I can't help you
Vo T.
The course is awesome, it's not just a brief introduction to react native, but it takes us to create a fully working app from basics. We start installing the dependencies, creating the first file and so on. I recommend!
the testing part was not complete right? you said you're going to add more?
i p.
