    Doesn't local storage expire if you don't use a site for 7 days in Safari? https://webkit.org/blog/10218/full-third-party-cookie-blocking-and-more/ https://webkit.org/blog/10218/full-third-party-cookie-blocki... ("7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage" heading about half way down)

      As horrendously user hostile as that is, the use case here seems to be you find an event to attend when in service range and want to check back on it when you’re nearby, which may be out of service. The 7 day expiry wouldn’t be hit.

  The app pulls in a CSV with the list of events, so the app requires internet to work right?

    (author here) the data is always cached so even with no internet, you can still access the newest data, filter it, see it on a map etc. But really, the biggest reason why I wanted this to be an app is because I like how native apps feel as opposed to a website. Push Notifications, map panning and zooming and the calendar integration have a low quality feel when used on the web (in iOS).
