GemIQ is installed as a desktop application, but downloading it does not enable offline functionality. The app requires an active internet connection each time it's opened in order to run properly.
This requirement also extends to GemCam Pro, GemIQ's built-in tool for capturing images and videos of jewelry and gemstones. GemCam Pro needs a live internet connection to operate, so image and video capture will not work while offline.
If your internet connection drops while GemIQ is open, the app and GemCam Pro will stop functioning until connectivity is restored.
