Offline Mode

Hi all,

I have a question about behaviour of Geooh Go app if it is completely offline. Why is it, that the app is still looking for servers although there is no signal. About half a minute or so it is looking to receive something before it switches to my offline list and map.
Does anyone of you have an idea or maybe someone of the developer team can answer my question.

Thanks for a feedback

kind Regards, Joemanzh

There is never a "completely offline" unless you go into airplane mode or disable the API. Descriptions have images in them and same with logs... those aren't automatically downloaded until viewed. If you have enabled viewing log upvotes, Groundspeak doesn't send them via a "full" retrieval, but only when you start viewing logs. When you start the app, Geooh will refresh your user information. Getting counts of the number of photos for a cache or trackable. Showing stats like elevation or county on a map... those don't come from Groundspeak.

Geooh is the most full featured geocaching app out there. Those features require data that isn't always automatically provided in an offline list.
