* The offline kiosk app is vastly different from the online application in a variety of ways. Its caching abilities not only require more intensive programming, it places certain limitations on its functions. It is also susceptible to OS updates that interrupt legacy connections and this may cause issues when operating on newly released operating systems above Android 8.1.0.
