Works offline. Even where the signal doesn’t.

Basements, new layouts and remote sites often have no signal. The everyday site entries save on the phone and sync on their own when the connection returns.

The problem

If the app needs signal, the entry waits until evening, and then it is forgotten.

For: Site in-charge and anyone working on site
