The big question surrounding mobile web apps

Are your mobile web apps worthless without a data connection?

They don’t have to be.

You can set up the mobile web apps you create with m-Power to operate with or without a data connection. Once set up, your mobile web apps will automatically revert to the offline version when the connection drops. Then, it will sync your data with the database once the connection returns. All this happens in the background–without the user’s knowledge.
