Can I run ReelCount without internet?

Whether ReelCount can be used offline.

Updated over 2 months ago

No — ReelCount requires a live internet connection at all times. Both the admin portal and the Scanner app rely on syncing data in real time.


Admin Portal

  • The portal runs in a browser and needs internet to load crew, schedules, and reports.

  • Changes made offline would not save or sync.


Scanner App

  • The app checks each pass against the live schedule.

  • Without internet, passes cannot be validated and scanning will fail.

⚠️ Warning: If Wi-Fi drops at a location, the Scanner app will not work until the connection is restored.


Key Points

  • ReelCount cannot run offline.

  • Always ensure stable Wi-Fi at each catering site.

  • For busy locations, consider multiple iPads to avoid bottlenecks while scanning.


That’s why a live internet connection is essential for ReelCount.
