When comparing Felgo (formerly V-Play) vs React Native, the Slant community recommends React Native for most people. In the question“What are the best frameworks for developing cross-platform mobile apps with JavaScript?” React Native is ranked 2nd while Felgo (formerly V-Play) is ranked 16th. The most important reason people chose React Native is:
React Native allows you to create native apps by generating native views with JavaScript instead of using a web wrapper.
Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Mature cross platform IDE
Qt-Creator IDE with Code Completion, Debugging and Profiling, integrated Quick Help, Version Control and more.
Pro Easy to learn
Felgo is among the easiest cross-platform tools to use according to a survey done by research2guidance.
Pro In-game level editor
With the Level Editor components, you can let your players share their levels with the whole game community which is cool because you don't need to create new levels on your own, but the community helps you with it. There are other community features like rewards for good level creators that helps getting more downloads.
Pro Felgo game network
Leaderboards, Achievements, Challenges are available across platform, even on Desktop. You can also use Cloud Syncinc of your game data that makes it easy to start a game for example on iPhone and then continue on a Nexus Tablet or the other way around.
It is also convenient because sharing to all kind of game services & networks like Facebook & Game Center is possible with a single API call. Custom hosting of Game Network servers is also possible if you want to keep the player data.
Pro Native performance
Although game logic is provided in JavaScript by you, performance-critical parts of the engine like OpenGL ES rendering or particle effects are implemented in rock-solid C++, providing the ultimate performance your game deserves.
Pro Advanced gaming components
Advanced Gaming Components for handling multiple display resolutions & aspect ratios, animations, particles, physics, multi-touch, gestures, path finding and more.
Pro Felgo build server
No need for native SDKs, Build in and Install from Cloud with the Felgo Build Server.
Pro Rapid development
Cut your development time in half. Using the QML language allows for some powerful features that cut code lines and time. Another helpful feature that can help in this area is that there are more than 50 game demos of all genres that come with full source code, meaning one can easily check to see how something was done.
Pro Support can be found in forums and via e-mail
Felgo has friendly forums where core developers participate as well as fast & helpful email support.
Pro Based on Qt framework
The Qt framework is a great and mature framework on its own. Using Qt as a game engine base is a smart idea.
Pro Runtime-balancing
You can use ready-made components to balance any of your game properties at runtime, so also on mobile devices which is great for adjusting forces or input parameters.
Pro Lots of learning resources
Helps get started and improve with lots of tutorials, demo games, examples.
Pro Social services and monetization
In-app purchases, game and social network integration (such as Game Center and Facebook), ads (with Chartboost and AdMob) and analytics (such as Flurry) are all available across platforms.
Pro Frequent updates
Every 2-4 weeks new updates provide additional features and fixes based on what users wanted the most.
Pro Level store
You can even monetize these user-generated levels with in-app purchases with the Felgo Level Store component if you like.
Pro Allows you to develop native apps
React Native allows you to create native apps by generating native views with JavaScript instead of using a web wrapper.
Pro Large, supportive community
Despite being such a young framework (early 2015), the support for React Native grew quickly. There is a forum, active tag on Stackoverflow and many other ways to get help from the community.

Pro Backed by Facebook
Facebook writes their mobile apps in React Native so the code base gets pretty thoroughly used in some highly demanding scenarios.
Pro More predictable control of the state
The one way data flow, makes it more predictable and easy to control.
Cons
Con No 3rd party tutorials
There are little to none amount of tutorials for Felgo other than what was made by the engine developers themselves.
Con If core team doesn't use a certain feature, it's not developed
Whenever there's functionality you need that they don't use in their apps, it's not going to get developed by them, even if it's obvious it should be in the core. They always say to either submit a PR or create a separate module.
Con Steep learning curve
React Native is not the most beginner-friendly framework for creating mobile apps with JavaScript. It requires that the developer know React, which is known to have a steep learning curve.
Con Many existing JS libraries are not usable on React Native; not exactly a 1-to-1 experience to writing React either
Example: Library that provides a full calendar with agenda view.
In the end it's much easier to develop in actual JavaScript with a solution such as Ionic, especially if your app needs to work well on the desktop.
Con React native only supports react which is getting old
React native is only based on react which is getting old. An old tech developer can't take much breaking changes so it gets more patchs. There is a limit, and react is too verbose and complex. better alternatives available today.
