Research direction

Start by locating the backend data request and the existing SharedPreferences usage. Trace how data is loaded when the app starts, then verify that cached data is used first and that a backend update occurs only after one week; done means the weekly timestamp is persisted and the loading behavior follows this sequence.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently a request is made to the backend each time the app is loaded, whereas instead we should always fallback to the cache and update once each week. Store last update using SharedPreferences
