@teolemon I'm working on it: with background tasks the response to a hunger games question is "immediately" sent to the server.
The problem is that you still have to wait, before the next question is asked, for its product to be downloaded. In that case you don't wait with a "running..." dialog, but you wait with an empty hunger games card with a shimmering effect. I'm not convinced it is that significantly faster with low connectivity, and I'm not convinced the UI/UX is good either.

• we can ask for a larger number of Robotoff questions
• Do we really need to load all the whole products? Can we not load the whole images, data, on a per product basis when needed ?

Actually I think we already download a set of questions. Each may be about a different product.
What we could do is then to download all products in bulk first, instead of stuttering after each answer waiting for the next product to be loaded.

That would make sense, but with a better UI. For the moment we already get the relevant image url and the name from the question. But when we click on the small image, we go to the downloaded product image page. We could instead go to a full screen zoomable page only with the question image. That would make sense, as the question is only about that image.
