>I am not sure, since I didn't build the app, but my experience is that it download the quests of the direct area in a range of 1 km or so, witch means, you need a working data connection, be it WiFi or 3/4G. The upload of your answers will happen when you get a data connection, until then it will be stored.
You can zoom to an area then grab quests and tiles. So typically I'll look at the area I'm interested in at home, grab everything then go off line and go to the area of interest. Do the quests and either have a coffee and upload or come home and upload. There is an issue about how much storage you need for map tiles but its doable.
