Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
The Futurist
Big Picture
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
Community Sentiment
“EAS Build changed the game — CI/CD for mobile apps that just works”
“Expo SDK 50 makes managed workflow viable for almost any app”
“OTA updates alone make Expo worth it for production apps”
“The Expo Router file-based navigation feels like Next.js for mobile”
