How does the app expect us to do a subscription if the grid n money goes away makes no sense
Developer Response
Great question! That's actually exactly why Gridless works offline — once you download the content, it's yours to access anytime, no internet or cell service needed. The idea is to learn and prepare now so you're ready if the grid ever does go down. Think of the subscription as investing in knowledge you'll have forever, even without power or Wi-Fi. Hope that helps clarify — and thanks for trying the app!
• AI features (Bug ID, Track ID) are back online with a more reliable backend
