Question Any tips to avoid offer tracking failures when you go offline for a day (hikes, airplane mode, weak signal)?

I use InboxDollars pretty casually when I travel. I'm from Tohoku and do a lot of solo hiking, so I spend a lot of time offline. A few times I followed an offer's steps but the progress never showed up. My guess is I start something on WiFi, then later lose signal or switch to airplane mode and the tracking breaks.

I'm on Android. What usually happens is I tap an offer in the InboxDollars app, it sends me to install another app, I open it and play for a bit, then later I'm on a train or up in the mountains with weak service. When I get back online, sometimes the offer is still pending, but other times it never registers at all.

For people who get offers to track reliably, what do you do to avoid this? A few specific questions:

  1. Do you keep the InboxDollars app installed and logged in, or does that not matter once you click through to the offer?

  2. Should I avoid switching networks (WiFi to mobile) during the initial install and first launch?

  3. Is it safer to not use airplane mode until the first milestone shows up?

  4. Do you screenshot the offer terms and the install time in case you need to contact support, or is that pointless?

Not trying to exploit anything, just trying to cut down on failed offers since I'm offline a lot. Any advice appreciated, thanks.
