What are you storing in your contacts database that's so huge that it can't be loaded over the network every time?

Are you hand-writing notes and storing the notes as images?

I use Apple/Google's built-in notes fields on the default addressbooks and it works just fine. I can't imagine having huge write-ups on individual contacts unless it was for some business purpose. In that case, I'd move to a dedicated note-taking application anyway.

He is probably concerned about users who cannot use a network all the time or have slow connections. Many phones have LTE but trying to load some modern websites over slower 4G, or even slower 3G, is a nightmare, not just from the size but also if they're not on a proper CDN.
