Wouldn't it be great to use your mobile app without worrying about spotty internet connectivity? With model-driven apps made with Power Apps and the new, mobile offline-first experience, it's possible. People who need to work from remote locations can continue to work seamlessly without worrying about their internet connection.

_Offline-first_ means that all the data you may need when offline is copied to your mobile device. This requires initial network access to download the data. Once you have your data, you only work with the data on your local device all the time. This is true both when your device is connected and disconnected to the network.

Moving in and out of network access does not affect performance of the app because it is using local data. Power Apps monitors network access and automatically syncs the changes you have made locally with the server, and downloads any updates made on the server. The offline features automatically handle spotty network connections, download data, upload data, handle conflict detection, and more. The built-in, offline features minimize system resources and are highly performant.

When offline mode is configured and enabled for your model-driven app, anyone who uses the [Power Apps mobile app](run-powerapps-on-mobile.md) can also use the app in offline mode. By default, the Power Apps mobile app runs offline-first, either with or without an internet connection. This functionality optimizes offline performance and creates a consistent experience for users as they change locations:
