Mobile Application - Offline concept

Instead of requesting the data when the user want’s to see the next screen, the application pulls the data ahead of time onto the device.

That way, the data is already on the device and the application can render the screen without the need for an online backend connection.

This could be a cache (Online app with cache) or a synchronized DB (Synced app)!
