I have not seen one good app for android that has been written in react native. Can anyone show me one that doesn't suck in performance?

From my understanding, it does exist in popular Android apps, but usually for larger apps its used for only parts of the app and not the entire app.

Discord is an interesting case. They were using React Native for iOS and not Android. In their defense, this probably makes sense since substantial code sharing could be achieved between their desktop/web app and their iPhone app with this approach.

I'm pretty okay with the Spotify app nowadays. It used to be worse, I think, now I'm rather annoyed by the not that great UI/UX design (everything is way too large, I don't see shit, man).

My app is incredibly simple but its performance is good. HopeWaves on the play store.

Instagram has very limited parts of the application written in RN, like 'Edit Profile'. [1]

The vast majority of the app is implemented natively.

That article is 3 years old, but it mentions "Photos Of view", "Post Promote", "Save Posts", "Checkpoints", "Comment Moderation", "Lead Gen Ads", "Push Notification Settings", and "SMS Captcha Checkpoint". At any rate, I'm curious to see how this has evolved over the past 3 years and I remain impressed with their seamless integration of RN and native.
