Apps for read offline

34 apps

Intent

The file has to be on the device before the doors close. Reading offline is a downloaded book, issue, or long article — not a streaming video and not a live score. DRM that phones home every chapter is not offline. Highlights should still be there when you land. Library loans expire; purchased files should not vanish because an app updated. A website wrapper will fail in a basement. A website wrapper will fail in a basement car park. Page-turn vs scroll is a preference, not a feature gap.

What matters for this task

Does the title open in aeroplane mode after a download?
Do highlights survive a restart?
Is there a hard expiry, and is it visible?
Can you read without creating an account on a guest device?
