Download all content for offline reading

waipeng  2007/11/15 10:07 UTC


I currently have a E65 with Wifi. I've noticed that WidSets only download part of the content, and downloads more as you read.

It'll be great if WidSets can have an option to download all contents, so users can choose to download content while connected to cheap/free wifi, and then read them on the go!

As more and more phones have wifi, I'm pretty sure this is a design decision that's going to go very well with users.

Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, waipeng.

There has been couple of wishes for improved offline mode ealier, too. As wifi is more widely used in mobile devices this kind of options for fetching new content are relevant. I will pass this idea on to our team :)

Great Idea - this would be fantastic. This could just be an option in the settings - would be perfect for underground travel.:)

Great idea! I'd be eagerly anticipating this!

All other users who think this might be useful, do chip in your ideas too!

I was about to propose the same thing, but good thing I browsed the forums first instead. :)

Would be cool to have the option to download all current topics in either all or selected widgets when travelling, not only so that you could get them while using a free or very cheap connection, but also so that you can still read the topics even if your network connection goes down for some reason.

Why does it take so long to implement this feature?

Improved offline feature is under planning at the moment and hopefully will be part the next WidSets release... whenever it will be launch.
