News and Twitter feed pages

News and Twitter feeds from the Wave Classic website update when the applicaton is active and there is sufficient network connectivity. Tiree has poor mobile network connectivity, so it is likely to be only when you are in reach of WiFi that these will update. Once new news or tweets have been downloaded they will be available when offline.
