We’re continuing to add features to mobile apps with active development. Your real-world examples help us prioritize improvements. Try building different apps and tell us what works and what breaks.

- Design included - AI designs apps like a human would
- Test on device - Preview with Expo Go on your phone
- Full stack - Built-in databases, functions, auth, storage, and payments
- Publish anywhere - Deploy to App Store and Play Store
Getting Started

Testing & Quality Assurance
Test and debug your app with our Testing & Debugging Guide.How It Works

Device features like camera, location, and barcode scanning won’t work in web preview. Use Expo Go on your device for full testing.
