Using Ring Reader Offline
Shooting ranges love basements — and dead zones come standard there. That’s why Ring Reader is built offline-first: your data lives locally on your device, and the core of the app works without internet.
What works offline
- Scanning paper targets: Scoring your target photos runs entirely on your device — photograph, view the result, save, all without a connection.
- Manual entry: Recording results by hand always works.
- History and results: All saved series including shot patterns are available locally.
- Statistics: Trends, records and charts are computed from the local data.
- Training details: Notes, daily form and equipment can be added at any time.
What needs internet
- Importing printouts, screen photos and PDFs: The text recognition for Meyton, DISAG, SIUS or SETA printouts runs on the server.
- Competitions and Training rosters: Leaderboards and groups live in the cloud.
- Cloud sync: Your devices reconcile as soon as a connection is back (Plus/Pro).
- Sharing results and push notifications.
How everything stays together
Series recorded offline are not lost: they live locally and sync automatically the next time you’re online. In the History you can also trigger synchronization manually via “Sync all”.
So Ring Reader starts reliably even without a connection, install the app on your home screen — that keeps the app and your data permanently on the device.
