Base44 + offline
Reviewers switch on airplane mode. Users ride the subway. A Base44 app that shows a white page offline looks broken; a native offline screen with a retry button looks like an app. WebViewGold gives you three levels of offline support, and the right one depends on your stack (React front end generated by Base44 with Base44's own built-in database, authentication and integrations).
From $109 one-time per platform, or let our team do it all from $698.
Default. When the device has no connection, WebViewGold shows a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button (offlinetitle, offlinemsg, offlinebuttontext) and reconnects automatically (offlinescreenautoretry). Zero work in Base44.
The WebView caches your app's assets so repeat launches are fast. Add friendly error states in Base44 for requests to Base44 built-in entities (database), file storage and backend functions that fail mid-session, and keep form input when a request fails.
Ship a static build (or a lightweight offline version) inside the app: offlinelocalhtmlswitch on iOS, FALLBACK_USE_LOCAL_HTML_FOLDER_IF_OFFLINE on Android. The app loads the remote URL when online and the local folder when offline. Ideal for content apps, manuals and catalogs.
Paste this into Base44 to implement the web-app side. Review the result, publish, then test inside the WebViewGold app.
Improve how this app behaves when the connection drops; it will run inside a native mobile app that only shows its own offline screen when the very first page fails. 1) Add a thin banner at the top saying "You're offline" whenever navigator.onLine is false, using the browser's online and offline events. 2) On every page that loads records, show a card with "We couldn't load this. Check your connection." and a Retry button when loading fails, instead of a blank area or an endless spinner. 3) Keep forms filled in if saving fails and show "Not saved yet, try again". 4) Make sure the navigation and header always render even when data is missing.
With a good optimized version of your web app you can have a stunning mobile app within a couple of minutes. Additionally to that the customer service is very nice and very helpful! I can just recommend WebViewGold :-)
Level 1 takes two minutes; level 3 an afternoon.
Set title, message, button text and background color in the config (or Cloud Builder). Mention what the user can do ("Reconnect to see your orders").
Every data fetch to Base44 built-in entities (database), file storage and backend functions needs a failure state with a retry button, not an empty list. Time out after a few seconds instead of spinning forever.
Show the last loaded dashboard numbers or list with a "last updated" note while offline; a service worker or local storage in your web app is enough.
Export a static build of the parts that make sense offline (help, catalog, saved items) into the local-html folder and switch the fallback on. Keep the remote URL as the primary source so updates stay instant.
Launch cold, launch with a cached session, lose the connection mid-session, reconnect. This is exactly what the reviewer does.
Only with a local HTML folder (level 3) or a PWA designed for offline data. Apps that depend on Base44 built-in entities (database), file storage and backend functions show the offline screen until the connection is back, which is what reviewers expect.
The system WebView supports standard caching; WebViewGold's own offline screen does not depend on them. For guaranteed offline behavior, use the local HTML fallback.
Yes: text (in up to three languages), colors and the retry behavior are settings in the WebViewGold project.
Same result, different amount of work on your side. All three come with the approval guarantee and 24/7 human support.
