create-react-native-app is quick and easy way to create react-native project. The react-native-cli have the same feature when use react-native init Awesome. What's the difference.

Create React Native App is the easiest way to start building a new React Native application. It allows you to start a project without installing or configuring any tools to build native code - no Xcode or Android Studio installation required (see Caveats).

don't use create-react-native-app Awesome
but use react-native Awesome
