Offline viewing#76

Can you add it so you don’t have to sign in when you access Tiimo offline? I can’t sign in while offline and therefore can’t use the app.

Dear Harmony,

Thank you so much for your suggestion! We hear from many users that better offline support is needed. When it comes to logging in this will be very tricky to solve since you need communication with our backend and online services to authenticate your user.

I hope that makes sense! Let us know if you have any questions.

Every time I open the without internet it requires me to log in. Idk how else to do it

I agree with Harmony’s sentiment. For those of us living a country lifestyle and in other situations where internet is tricky to come by, offline support in the phone app would be especially helpful. I understand the difficulty with offline authentication if you are using third-party authentication services. It seems like some cookie-like technology could at least give users a few log-ins before reauthenticating. On the other hand, why authenticate before allowing users to access offline data from their own devices? You could make the phone app work a bit like the watch app. Additionally, if you authenticate before syncing the local device data with the online data, you can make sure the right user gets the updates. I hope these suggestions spur some further discussion on developing and implementing better offline support.

Hi!

There was a bug in the version about a month ago that logged users out when they were offline. This has been fixed now so you’re still logged in when you are without internet conneciton.

Dear Pjonathan7,

Than you for these suggestions! I will pass them on to our developers. The bug that highlighted above has been fixed now. We are however overall looking into improving the experience using the app offline.

Best regards,

Absolutely. Being able to use this app off line is a must for me. Not being able to do so makes me reconsider my subscription.

Thank you for the feedback! We’re working on improving the offline experience.

Yes, please. I don’t want to be offline all the time and sometimes I go to areas with no decent reception or internet connection, but still need to use the app. I’m autistic and it’s also one of the few things I use to help me manage my ADHD so I really need it. Hope this can be resolved.

Hi Janine! We are going to gradually improve this - it requires a lot of refactoring behind the scenes, but it is something we are working on improving. Are there any specific actions you know would be really importanat for you to use when offline?

It would be nice, if the app always has 7 days in advance and going backwards from the current day in offline storage. So if there’s no internet, you can at least have a little bit of overview and some reminders.
Thank you for working on it! :)

It would be nice to have tiimo offline. The place I work has really bad WiFi/signal so I can’t update tasks and activities for the following days and I have to remember to put them in the app when I do have internet which means I’m very likely to forget to do it. I think an offline mode would really enhance the experience of the app!

Yup definitely needs an offline mode this is make or break for me using the app beyond free trial

I echo this sentiment, I think this should be a priority for the Timo team. Your app speaks about being accessible. A significant proportion of united staes citizens don’t have access to steady internet, nonetheless those who are trying to access from out of the country. The fact that the application is totally useless withought WiFi is making me strongly reconsider using the platform, despite how helpful and well designed it is for us neurodivergent folk. We should at least be able to go through the motions of our “routines” without the internet. Thank you

Paid for app but generally prefer to be disconnected from internet, and live a life where internet is often not available. Some Neurodivergent people often self-isolate because it makes us happy. We use technology to improve our lives like everyone else, but out of necessity must shut off the constant flow of information and human noise to find peace in day to day living. Requiring a constant connection to the internet is in direct conflict with healthy management of my wild brain. Maybe i should have considered this more before purchasing. Will not renew unless made fully functional offline for scheduling and calendar.
