Using the app offline, and app updates

The app keeps working as far as it can without a connection, and it tells you plainly when it needs one.

When you are offline

• A banner across the app reads "Offline · your changes send when you're back".
• Everything the app has already loaded stays readable: your invitations, guests, replies and the Activity feed as they were.
• The whole catalogue is readable offline, with every design's cover.
• The Help Center articles are cached, so Help and contact us under Account still answers questions.
• Save, Send and plan buttons wait for a connection instead of spinning. Nothing is lost.

A live invitation preview, a guest's view and anything that needs the server show a message with Try again or Use the form instead.

Sends never go out twice

Publishing, sending invitations, paying and album notices each carry a one-time key. If the connection drops halfway and you tap again, the server recognises the retry, so a guest is never e-mailed twice.

If the invitation changed elsewhere

Every save carries the version it was based on. If the invitation changed meanwhile, on the website or by a Design Genie animation, the app refuses to overwrite it and offers Newer version on the web · Reload.

Keeping the app up to date

Updates arrive through the App Store or Google Play as usual. Now and then an old version is retired. From then on the app shows Update Nimanto: "This version is too old to talk to the server. Update from the store to carry on." The button opens the store listing, and the updated version starts fresh.

Your invitation still works without the app

Guests never use the app, and your invitation is a web page. If you ever cannot open the app, sign in at nimanto.com in any browser and carry on; everything is there. See App or website: what is where?.
