I've watched a million tutorials on various subjects. This is hands down the best one I have ever watched. Concise, gives the info, demonstrates, and moves on. Made 3 hours feel like 30 minutes. Thank you so much!

[Danielated]

This is so easy to follow and understand! 3 hours seemed daunting and I didn't want to bother but you certainly made it worth it. Thanks for making this available!

[cvai]

Yup - this is the best one I've seen. This guy is a very experienced teacher who knows exactly how much detail to include.

[geTThs]

For everyone wondering at the start of this course after the expo init you need to go into the project folder and type npm i for installing the dependencies. cost me 2h of googling. or go to 41:30

[therhythmatic]

This was a great crash course. I have purchased several of your Udemy courses which are amazing but I never really have the time to finish them all because I simply don't have enough time. This was a great length and right to the point. I feel like I can confidently discuss the differences between React vs. React Native as well as get started on my own React Native project. Thanks again for taking the time to share this!

[Sarahu]

Thanks a lot for this lecture. I spent days looking for a React Native tutorial but did not quite understand those videos. You are teaching all the components in details. Keep it up!

[lordorbnauticus]

Perfect! You answered my question in the first 5 minutes! 😂 I'm watching the entire thing, but I appreciate how well this is done.

[iiiii]

I've listened for 2 hours and a half, brilliant lecture so far!

[itsprinceyadav]

I'm watching React Native tutorial for the first time and I can't believe how easy it is to build native apps using my existing CSS, JS and React knowledge! Thank you for showing me how I can unlock the real power of what I already know! You've simplified it so well. I'm always scared of learning something entirely new from scratch, eg, dart, flutter, kotlin, etc. You are simply the best teacher out there! ❤❤❤

[GilbertoMadeira]

I've tried another 4 videos, when finally got here and trully found what I was looking for: a good direct simple course to teach the fundamentals, thanks!! now I can say that React Native is not a mistery to me anymore!

[alleycaaat]

Absolutely fantastic video! I've watched countless instructional videos and tutorials and nothing comes close to this. You explain everything nicely and don't assume the viewer knows something, so great. You speak clearly and don't rush, and do just such a thorough job on everything you cover. Thanks to you, I just made my first mobile app and had a great time while doing so!

[davidsonfong]

I didn’t come here for a CSS lesson but got one anyways and I’m might grateful for it. And that is why I never skip sections when watching videos from a great instructor: I always leave with way more knowledge than I intended. Thank you for this amazing lesson!

[wizlon]

Get introduction, easy to follow and well explained. The minute I finished this I enrolled to your full course and am looking forward to learning more. Thank you.

[whatsnewnow]

nice man.i forgot since i did not have any handson from past 3 months. son once again i came and learn and i will start doing project.

[asifsaho]

Very effective course. I am using React for many years and this course is working fine to start React native.

[vobissunt]

Finishing this made me purchase the course on Udemy. Excellent job on this. It's really easy to digest and doesn't overwhelm with information while also delving just enough into the context behind things.

[kibalamajames]

Wow! you're an incredible teacher. I'm glad I found your channel.

[AlazTetik]

It was a great introduction to the R/N technology, it made me switch from React easily. Thank you Academind team!

[schjndler]

I don't usually write Youtube comments and so this is my first, but one thing has to be said - damn, you are a legend, Max.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, God bless you.

[azer]

I really liked this course because this guy comparing android app development with the web development. As the person who have web development knowledge it's make me so easy to learn React Native.
