Our last app (Chorus, a podcast player mashed up with a social network, http://chorus.am) was built entirely in react-native - with the exception of the streaming implementation. In my mind, it's a great example of the optionality that RN gives you: easy cross-platform UI dev with an escape hatch to write native code when you need to.

It's a shame expo.io doesn't provide background audio [0], they've been saying for years that "it's be supported soon" but it still isn't...

That being said, expo.io is absolutely amazing if you need to use native features through RN without touching O-C/Swift
