The Best React Native Course 2026 (From Beginner To Expert) (Udemy.com)

Learn React Native by Building Production Apps: Redux, Push Notifications, Typescript, Localization, Firebase, Animation

Created by: Ahmed Sawy

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 735 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Ahmed Sawy's course runs 24.3 hours across 270 lectures and 22 sections. It starts with Expo, builds a full e-commerce app with Redux Toolkit and Firebase, then moves to the React Native CLI with native modules and an AI chat app. A JavaScript crash course is included but marked optional. It was last updated in August 2026, which is recent for a course published in early 2025.

Reviewers like the clear, easy-to-follow explanations and the pattern of teaching a few basics and then applying them in a project. Of 735 ratings, 451 are five stars and only 21 are one or two stars. The complaints are consistent, though. Some say it moves fast and skips the why. One reviewer struggles to make out some lectures, another flags older pieces like TouchableOpacity and SafeAreaView, and one finds it too high level.

The beginner label is a stretch. A reviewer with programming experience says true beginners would struggle and suggests putting the JavaScript section first. People with some JavaScript and React get the most out of it. Another reviewer says the JavaScript refresher looks a lot like free YouTube tutorials. Pair it with the official docs if you want depth on any one topic.

Best forDevelopers who know some JavaScript and want Expo, Redux Toolkit, Firebase and an AI chat app in one course.
Skip it ifYou are brand new to code and need slow pacing, or you want deep dives and clean architecture.

Pros

  • Teaches a few basics, then applies them in a project, which reviewers say keeps things easy to follow
  • Covers a wide stack: Redux Toolkit, Firebase auth, localization, push notifications, animation
  • Adds React Native CLI and native modules after Expo, so it is not Expo only
  • Instructor keeps refreshing it; the last update was August 2026

Cons

  • Fast pace with little explanation of why, and few do-it-yourself exercises, per reviewers
  • Dated pieces like TouchableOpacity and SafeAreaView; one Android gap was corrected mid-lecture
  • Stays high level in places; one reviewer wanted clean code and system design
Very Detailed and Excellent course. The instructor organized the course topics in an excellent way; He starts with several basics then an application project for each group of topics.
Waleed Mohamed Al-Adrousy, a student

Listed for all levels, but it suits people with basic JavaScript. Absolute beginners may need the JS section first.

By Muhammad Naushad on 8/5/2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of the best React Native courses I've taken. The instructor explains every concept clearly with practical examples, making it easy to follow even for developers transitioning from another framework. I especially liked the real-world projects and the way modern React Native concepts were covered. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to build production-ready mobile applications.

By Sourabh Kumar on 1/11/2026

Excellent resource for learning React Native for Beginners, I have just completed developing UI components using Figma design and I really liked the course. Hopeful and I trust the tutor with his guidance I will be profitable react native developer

By Valdis Indricans on 11/13/2025

You need a good understanding of JavaScript/Typescript and React before going through this. If you have it - it's perfect pretty comprehensive course, showing some good techniques, but not too overfilled. Straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for!

By Robert Estrada on 11/11/2025

I'm not a beginner to programming, but wanted to do some react native courses to get some mobile development under my belt. As far as content it's great. However, just a few key points I'd like to point out as constructive. These are obviously my opinions and are subjective. - The course title "beginner" is a bit far fetched and misleading if I were coming into this as an absolute beginner to js, ts, and react native. - The javascript crash course would absolutely benefit being placed at the top of this course before even touching react native for those absolute beginners as an optional. - Possibly maybe don't introduce a topic in the middle of a discussion if that topic won't be discussed until later. For example props in the very first app project for the SocialSection, the discussion of using props then stating they'll be discussed later could really throw beginners for a loop and lose a consistent stream of thought and concentration only to confuse them further. Like I said, these are just my thoughts and minor concerns. This course is great so far, but can use a little work to make it even better.

Ce cours est très bien structuré et facile à suivre. L’instructeur explique les concepts complexes de manière claire et pratique. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne souhaitant améliorer ses compétences en programmation

By David Scott on 9/30/2025

Goes very fast and is hard to keep up. I wish he'd explain more about why he's doing things instead of just doing them. I do like the Redux coverage and the fact that we're building apps, but would like more "now, do it yourself" exercises.

By Ahmed Mokhtar on 9/18/2025

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn React Native and wants to build apps in short time. Pros: The instructor focuses on building real apps, and covers many important edge cases for practice. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. His accent is easy to understand as well. It really helps you take a big step forward in React Native, if you have no prior knowledge. Hint: Like any beginner course, you’ll still want to read the Expo and React Native documentation to explore the full range of properties and options available.

By Vector on 9/9/2025

This course is absolutely great. Everything is explained perfectly, the lessons are perfectly timed, everything is explained in clear, simple language. The instructor is also active in the Q&A section and actively answers questions. I highly recommend the course to everyone.

By Ramakrishna on 6/1/2025

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m giving this rating after completing the entire course, and I really liked it. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with clear explanations and practical examples — great for both beginners and those refreshing their skills. One suggestion (just a friendly request, not a demand ): It would be amazing if the instructor could add a complete app project at the end that brings together all the important topics already mentioned, such as: Notifications Authentication Social login Integrating maps Payments Mobile calling features Video calling OTA updates Dashboards This would give learners a real-world, all-in-one app to see how everything fits together. Thank you for the great content — highly recommended!

By Otsile on 3/22/2025

Great course from a great lecturer! Tried with basic JavaScript knowledge and could grasp what was happening well enough. Ahmed is very knowledgeable and does well to walk you through the process. Would recommend.
