Offline Access with Alpha Anywhere
As you know from following Alpha and our recent Alpha Anywhere 3.0 announcement, we believe, based on strong customer feedback, that offline support is vital in a mobile development platform. Connectivity is no sure thing and mobile apps that lack offline access limit where they can be used. Providing the means to cache data offline gives apps built with Alpha Anywhere a major advantage. Enable your users to work offline and use your app anywhere.In this blog post we want to share the use cases we are seeing from customers who have built and deployed offline capable mobile business apps or who are building mobile apps that require offline support.
