It is amazing how often I sit with crappy or no connectivity, even in today's day and age, and so if it were easier for more apps to be designed to work offline first that would truly be amazing.

Yeah it's a shocker that even major apps like Apple's Weather aren't local first. Lots of room for improvement.

Why would you want a local first weather app? It's not very useful to have yesterday's weather or even from one hour ago.

Great question and that's what you'd think. I spend a lot of time in the outdoors though, and on day 3 of a camping trip into an area with no signal, I'd rather have a stale prediction for the day 4 weather than no prediction.

Got it, thanks.
