Here Are The Best Android Apps You Can Use Offline

It’s happened to all of us: we’ve run out of data before the end of the month, and, to avoid extra data charges, we’ve avoided using data like the plague. While there are a few notable exceptions, you can’t do much without a Wi-Fi-connected phone. Luckily, there are several apps you can use if you’re out of data, out of range, or else trying to preserve your remaining data allowance. Try one of these three apps that you can use offline to keep your data usage in check.

Still, while it’s nice to have options even if you don’t have Internet service, certain games can present problems even if you do have Internet. For instance, many games will lag or take what seems like forever to load. To prevent this from happening, utilize DFNDR’s Accelerate Internet feature. Accelerate Internet will speed up your Internet by closing out superfluous apps that are running in the background of your device. Click here to speed up your Internet right now:

FeedMe

FeedMe is an offline reader that you can use to read your favorite articles offline. The app lets you customize the feeds you want to sync in the player, so that you’ll have the articles downloaded when you go offline. Additionally, the simple-to-read player lets you star your favorite articles, and customize the way your articles look on the player. For example, you can choose from layout themes like light, paper, dark, and night, among other customization options.

Kiwix

Ever wanted to look up a fact somewhere you couldn’t get Wi-Fi service? That’s what Kiwix is for. The app lets you browse all of Wikipedia, as well as other online encyclopedias like Ubuntu and WikiLeaks, offline. Once you download the file from Wikipedia or another source onto your phone, you can then use Kiwix even if you don’t have an Internet connection. Further, you connect to the device using various tools.

PlayerFM

This popular podcast app is available to use offline. If you want to listen to a podcast offline, you can download it when you have a connection, save it, and listen to various podcasts later. Further, the app is useful because you can download it onto your computer and your phone, which makes it easier to find and download the podcasts you like. Additionally, the popular app gives you recommendations of new podcasts to listen to — when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, of course.
