Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
