At start of app, all board game data is parsed from URL. Occasionally (sometimes frequently) the URL can't be reached and a retry must be performed. Sometimes it takes several retries before a successful connection is made to the the URL. In collections that are 50-100+ boardgames, this has great potential to significantly increase the time it takes to start the app.

Suggested solutions:

  1. Display BoardgameList with the names only. Query for boardgame only when user requested
  2. Download in background
  3. Download a portion at a time
