Attendance when the internet drops
The Android app can keep attendance events locally when the API is unreachable, then send them later. The queue is capped (about 50 items) and aged out after roughly seven days.
Basements, poor mobile data, and office WANs that block APIs are common. The important trade-off: queued auto events are not SSID-checked on the server, so the queue is a reliability feature, not a strict location proof.
HR / admin
Expect some events to appear minutes later. Do not treat delayed sync as fraud by itself.
Employee
Keep the app installed; punch or WiFi events still record locally.
Honest limits
Not infinite storage. Not an encrypted enterprise MDM vault — it is the product’s documented local queue.

FAQ
Queued auto events skip SSID validation. That exception is intentional so the queue is usable.
About seven days, with a maximum list size of fifty.
