Ever hear of lazy loading?

Whatever engineer designed this app probably would have designed an e-mail app to download it all up front instead of on demand. The ui experience is terrible. Its unacceptable to force users to wait an hour while things download. If all I want to see is accessories for an hrv, I should be able to just load those. Downloading should happen in the background and not force me to wait for every image to download. Use placeholders and prioritize downloads based on what the user is trying to display. Use hashmaps or b-trees to represent images so as the user scrolls you can lookup if you have the cached image or not and pop it to the front of a linked list for download.
