Using Nkwata offline and on a weak connection
Why the platform installs to your phone, and what still works when the signal drops.
Why the platform installs to your phone, and what still works when the signal drops.
Data is expensive and signal is unreliable. The platform is built around both of those facts rather than in spite of them.
Install it from the browser
There is no app store download. Open the site, choose 'Add to home screen' from your browser menu, and it sits on your phone like any app — using almost no storage.
What works without a connection
- Houses you have already opened stay readable
- Your shortlist, which is stored on your phone
- The places you saved for comparison
- The quarter guides you have viewed
What needs a connection
New searches, unlocking a listing, and contacting a landlord. Everything else you have already looked at stays available.
Why it uses so little data
Photographs are compressed and served from storage that does not charge for delivery, so we can afford to serve them properly. The interface itself is small and cached after the first visit, so returning costs almost nothing.
Your shortlist and your saved places never leave your phone. We do not hold them, and no landlord can see them.
