## What it is
React Native Paper is a cross-platform UI component library for React Native that implements Google's Material Design (including Material You) guidelines. It provides customizable, production-ready components with full theming support for both Android and iOS.

## Use cases
- build a react native app with material design components
- add material you theming to a react native app
- find production-ready ui components for ios and android in react native
- style react native buttons, cards, and dialogs without writing them from scratch
- make a react native app look native on both platforms
- customize a material design theme for a mobile app

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native app and want Material Design look and feel out of the box
- you need cross-platform components that adapt to iOS and Android platform conventions
- you want extensive theming support including Material You dynamic styling
- you prefer a mature, widely adopted library with strong community and documentation

## When to avoid
- your design system is not based on Material Design
- you are building for web only without React Native
- you need fully custom, non-Material visual styling from scratch
- you prefer minimal unstyled component primitives like tamagui or native-base alternatives

## Facets
