What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI believe QML ListView actually does support kinetic scrolling - Qt calls it "flicking". To get behavior closer to React Native, it might work to decrease the value of the Flickable flickDeceleration property [1].
That said, my troubles with Qt's performance and behavior on mobile led me to create my own cross-platform GUI library: https://github.com/styluslabs/ugui/

In Using Qt for Mobile in 2023For my cross-platform app, I was originally using Qt for desktop platforms and Android. I was fairly happy with Qt on the desktop, but less so on Android, in part because I was using Qt Widgets - Qt Quick is the newer, preferred way to build GUIs in Qt, at least for mobile. Around 2016 I started looking into an iOS port - at the time, Qt for iOS was fairly immature and there was (is?) some uncertainty about licensing requirements for statically linking Qt on iOS. Having already spent more time than I wanted fighting various problems with Qt on Android, I decided to consider alternatives and ended up creating my own SVG-based GUI library that I now use across desktop and mobile:
