iOS has its Human Interface Guidelines and Android has Material Design. To make a good cross-platform application one has to be conscious of platform differences and cater to them.
In practice, this may not be the fault of the framework but rather that of the engineer not taking the time to ensure that the final result conforms to specific platform standards. User Interface and latest platform features is an area in which I feel like these frameworks fall short. Whilst frameworks like React-Native and Flutter do really well to deliver on this promise there are some caveats that raise concern. The promise of cross-platform development is "code once, deploy everywhere". Have you ever downloaded an app, opened it, browsed through it, and think something just does not feel right? Ever wondered why an app is not smooth and why some elements seem out of place? It could be that the app in question was developed using a cross-platform framework.
