I'm going on a flight soon and was hoping to download a community or two for offline viewing, does anyone know of an app or tool that lets me do that on my phone?

Fun fact, that was the original purpose for Sync (for Reddit).

This doesn't answer your question.

Might still be able to preload some images before going offline but I don't know how reliable that would be

One workaround would be to use Firefox with this addon to save whatever you need for offline reading.

That would work, unfortunately they add on says I don't have the right version of Firefox. As far as I can tell I'm fully updated

Firefox for Android still doesn't officially support all extensions (for now), but you can get them working by doing this.

You are a lovely person and I appreciate the help!

Probably not what you asked for but i just browse though Jerboa and screenshot the posts that i like (although it won't really work with large posts and/or comment sections).

Not quite what I'm looking for but if I find some longer posts I might do that, thanks for the suggestion!
