Offline support

That'd be great to allow offline support, by pre-downloading articles, a bit like OSDAnd for maps.

Thanks, though I don't think saving articles and having a pre-downloaded articles database isn't the same.

Sorry @Kekun. Maybe I have not understood you well (my English knowledge is very limited). I understand that you mean having some articles saved locally. That seems complicated since Wike works as a browser, using Webkit to show the mobile version of Wikipedia on a webview.

I was thinking about something like this: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Descargas

I know Kiwix. It works by downloading all wikipedia to a file in ZIM format. This is something very different from how Wike works and supporting it would require a complete rewriting of the app.

On the other hand, for those who need offline access, there is already the Kiwix application itself.
