Free* Android app with offline sync?

đź’¬ General Discussion

I have a pretty weird setup, My house does not have internet access 95% of the time, and when I do I am severally bandwidth limited. For that and other reasons, my tablet is only ever allowed to connect to my local lan, and my server runs on a local lan, and neither ever connect to the broader internet.

I am trying to find a suiteCRM app that works with my system and allows for offline sync. So far “vibe suite free” will not even install, and none of these other apps have worked, refusing to let me log into my server (this is frustratingly common, to many app devs break their apps because they assume access to the internet, even when my tablet has a perfectly good connection with my local server)

  1. Yathit
  2. FyNCRM
  3. ValCRM
  4. tapcrm

I tried quickcrm, which works great, lets me log in and make changes and see my contacts and so on. but only when I am connected to the lan, and I need the app to work even when I am away, which is a feature limited to paid version.

I am willing to pay (hence the asterisk) but I can only pay with monero or bitcoin or litecoin, and I dont think they want that, especially when I have no way of verifying licenses (because, again, server never actually connects to the internet).

Any other apps available that have offline sync? Again, willing to pay, but can only pay in cryptocurrency and can not verify liceneses. Need an apk file I can move over to my tablet via SD card and if there is a server plugin a zip file I can move over via flash drive.

Ideally the app should not require a pluginm since it seems suite crm is so volitile that yuou can spentg an entire weekend trying to get it working and oit jus tasgfhjuirgafa

It looks like you are already close to finding solutions that do what you want.
It is your choice to use payment methods that are not run=of=the=mill. But that choice may well mean you’re at risk of having to exclude suppliers who could otherwise help you.

nah noticed I was going over bandwidth budget so I quit trying to draft/edit comment

Its not my choice actually. Not everyone gets to live in a country with access to traditional western economic infrastructure

You say they don’t want that, but might as well ask. I’ll be honest I don’t know many app that accept that payment method so I’m not much use. But certainly if there is a demand then perhaps they’ll consider it. Reach out to them and see what they say (got nothing to lose).

FairEmail is my go to example. open source android email app with some great features that are pay to access only (via the play store) but in addition have a challenge-response system setup so you can go to their website, pay in bitcoin, and when it verifies you can just put in the response and the features unlock.

I did and to their credit they got back pretty quick and said they don’t accept cryptocurrency payments, and that my server needs to connect to the internet in order to verify the license.

I dont think quickcrm is going to work for me anyways. at first I was happy with it but it does not play well at all with android so it only works when I remember it exists, which is not very often. (no widgets, no ability to “share into” the app, no notifications, no ability to launch via tasker or auther automation system)
