In this app I did not have to worry about that, but I can recommend https://github.com/sunnylqm/react-native-storage for dealing with storing on the device if you want to manually do things. I haven't built an app with React Native yet that does rely on local storage; however, with Redux and the redux-storage library it should be no problem

I do very much like Redux, but definitely that whole data flow layer can be intimidating. Wes Bos has a great free course on react / redux ( https://learnredux.com/ ) that can help that learning process, and there is the excellent courses on https://reacttraining.com/ if you are willing to invest a little bit of money on learning.

With all that said, you don't _need_ to use Redux or anything else to work with storing data. It might be a good idea to try manually storing with the aforementioned storage library just so you can get something working and feel like you're making progress; and then spending some time with Redux and (https://github.com/michaelcontento/redux-storage provides support for storing data with react native). Good luck!
