For events in remote locations or venues with patchy or no internet coverage, the Eventleaf Check In App offers an offline mode to check in and out attendees smoothly, irrespective of connectivity. With the Offline Mode activated, Eventleaf caches the event registration data to the device's memory, so you can access it from anywhere, with or without the internet. The Check In App operates just like it is connected to the internet and syncs the data with the Eventleaf cloud as soon as you get online.
