      I go kayaking often, and many times I end up in places with no internet connection. Even if I opened the app a few hours earlier to get the latest update, when I reach the spot and want to check the wind values again, I can’t because there’s no cached version of the data that was available an hour or a few hours ago. I’d like to be able to see the last available data that I viewed previously, even if the app is closed and I’m offline.

        @Sergiy-Marchenko Hello, unfortunately, there is no specific plan for this type of offline mode in our app. We tried to implement this already and there was no bigger success with this.

          Yes indeed, but there were 2 limitations.
          It was only available in the browser version, so on desktop or laptop, when an offline mode should mainly be used on a mobile device.
          Then it was not easy to use it as this thread demonstrates.

            A development similar to Squid mobile app would be the best solution for using it simply with a phone or a tablet.
            But that would not mean that many users would use it.

              @idefix37 You are right about this. I will discuss this once again with colleagues, if there is any chance or it is stopped completely.
