You can create different types of offline apps with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps. This section provides an overview of partially offline apps, fully offline apps, and a comparison below.
Partially offline appsPartially offline apps are offline apps designed for situations where network connectivity may be unreliable. This is ideal for when users can access the network but cannot guarantee constant connectivity. This type of application is able to easily handle transitions between connected and disconnected states.
There are two scenarios for using partially offline apps:

Fully offline appsFully offline apps are offline apps designed for situations where network connectivity is entirely absent. They are also used when you have a large amount of data and it is impractical to transfer the data over the network. This type of application stores all of the data it needs to work locally, allowing it to function without network connectivity.

Offline app comparison CapabilitiesThe following table compares the capabilities of a partially offline app and a fully offline app:
Partially offline app Fully offline app Use 2D maps Use 3D scenes Partial network connectivity No network connectivity Use online services Edit while offline Synchronize offline edits with online source Offline geocoding 1 1 Offline routing 1 1 Offline spatial analysis 1 1 Full support Partial support No support Use casesThe following table shows common use cases and their corresponding types of offline applications.
Use case Solution You are a mobile worker who wants to view and edit 2D maps or 3D scenes in areas without network connectivity. Partially offline app or fully offline app You want to prepare data in advance for fieldwork in remote areas. Partially offline app You want to access maps and data in areas where network access is restricted for security reasons. Fully offline app You want to use online services alongside local data when network is available, such as accessing weather or traffic information. Partially offline app You want to collect field data without network access. Partially offline app or fully offline app You want to synchronize field data collected offline with the online feature service upon returning to the office. Partially offline app You want to search for an address without network access. Partially offline app or fully offline app You want to plan routes in areas without network access. Partially offline app or fully offline app You want to analyze terrain data in a 3D scene and provide viewshed, line-of-sight, and interactive distance measurement capabilities using the device's GPU.
