+Building apps for mobile platforms is nuanced.
+
+> We are improving and adding more details to this page. If you'd like to help out, chime in at [react-native/14979](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14979).

+## Make tappable areas larger
+
+On mobile phone it's hard to be very precise when pressing buttons. Make sure all interactive elements are 44x44 or larger. One way to do this is to leave enough space for the element, `minWidth` and `minHeight` can be useful for that. Alternatively, you can use [`hitSlop` prop](docs/touchablewithoutfeedback.html#hitslop) to increase interactive area without affecting the layout. Here's a demo:
+
+<video src="img/hitslop.mp4" autoplay loop width="320" height="120"></video>

+[Try it on your phone](https://snack.expo.io/rJPwCt4HZ)

+[Material Design](https://material.io/) and [Human Interface Guidelines](https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/overview/design-principles/) are great resources for learning more about designing for mobile platforms.

 Timers are an important part of an application and React Native implements the [browser timers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Code_snippets/Timers).
