Better mobile UX for a multimillion audience

In 2016, Bloomberg engaged our nearshore experts in the process of transitioning its business news apps to a cross-platform technology based on React Native. New and little-explored at the time, this library had been released by Facebook as an efficient cross-platform technology that promised near-native performance.

Migration to React Native also offered a more unified look and feel consistent with the branding strategy of Bloomberg.
