BTW to parent, one big advantage of react-native over ionic is that it's not a wrapped web app, but a javascript/react app that compiles to an actual native app.

The performance difference and development experience (no silly css hacks) is very noticeable.

Not to nitpick, but I don't believe react native "compiles" to a native app. The evaluation of the JS in JavaScript Core is passed of to native code to layout native views. The interactions are then posted back into jscore. So while closer to native compiled code performance, it's still a bit different.

Fair enough, I'm afraid I didn't explain it properly
