1.Does a glide app consume loads of battery in your experience, has there been any feedback re that? 1. Does it work offline smoothly for you? ---

> Does a glide app consume loads of battery in your experience, has there been any feedback re that? A progressive web app (PWA) is a website, so unless you have actions that are looped or some behavior that is particularly consuming, I would not expect a Glide app to drain battery. > Does it work offline smoothly for you? As far as I know, offline mode is currently being tested and is not yet in production (live). Maybe I missed an announcement? In the words of David & Mark: “For now, Offline Mode is only designed to keep your app running if you lose your connection _while your app is already running_. Offline Mode does not yet support launching your app while offline.” Also, “in Offline Mode apps keep working, but editing data isn’t possible anymore, with the exception of adding rows.” ---
