Saving Setting Option (Local or Database)

Hi,

I am adding various intro pop up screens / messages to my app that explain various parts of the app... such as:


==============================

WELCOME

This section allows you to... etc.

[ ] don't show this again

==============================


User's can click the 'don't show this again' option and the setting will be saved,so that they don't see the message again, however i am trying to decide where to save this setting.

Which do you think is a better method?

A - save the setting to locally within the app (quicker access, but would future updates cause problems)

B - save the setting to the user's profile in the database (slower, but would not effect future updates)


Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

In general no one likes repeatedly making the same selections. I tend to default with carrying configuration over versions, unless there is a very specific reason to change that on a new version.

Ok thanks, so are you with option A?

I can't imagine that future updates would cause issues unless you made changes that played with the config setting. I'd go with A and keep everything contained within the app or within its own specific config settings.

Ok great, thanks guys.
