We're aiming to deliver some version of offline, barcode scanning, geolocation, and signature by the end of the year, but because we're always learning as we develop, that timeline could possibly shift. It's our target though, so stay tuned!
That reference to the end of the year was 2019 and some of those features have been released, but not offline.

Maybe they are getting close to announcing Early Access for off line data entry. But likely not for accessing a whole database off line as that would require downloading the whole app into the phone's memory!
