Looking to quickly construct rich video players for Android and Apple devices with leading features, functionality, and secure playback?

PRESTOplay for React Native

Write once & reach many

Creating multiple players is tough enough, not to mention results can easily differ between platforms.

Thanks to React Native, you can write a single JavaScript or TypeScript app that looks and feels truly native across platforms with a unified audience experience.

Get your players to market fast with code sharing and an efficient dev environment.
And the best part? You can do all this without sacrificing app performance or quality!

One code-base

Keep your stack simple by building and maintaining just one code-base.

Specialized developer

Lean your team: No need for multiple specialized developers for each platform.

Open-source players offer basic playback, but things get complicated when extra features, consumer-reach, or support are needed. We offer added value not available with free alternatives.

Valuable features and better performance

An abundance of extra features to deliver leading playback experiences.

Improved compatibility

Compatibility and performance improvements to maximize audience reach.

Fast issue support

Fast support to investigate workflow issues or squish a sneaky bug with priority.
