<span><div><div><div>For a mobile application it's definitely better to try and be as independent of the server as possible. Also you normally want to save all the user input immediately, as user may switch to another task and then return to the app - which has to appear in the same state user left it, even though an OS maybe shut down app's process, and started it afresh later.
