Thanks so much for all the interest in this feature. This has been released in the latest version of the app on iOS and Android (v2.4).
Some features are not available offline, such as:
- Tips (and upvoting them). If you've recently loaded a screen of tips, they may be cached and you may still be able to read them, but you won't be able to load more.
- Admin Commands.
- Third Party Tools (these are external websites that open in the app, so they can't work offline)
- Spawn Maps (these are on the ARK Wiki)
- Rating gathering efficiency
- Mobile Kibble Flowchart
Features that are online-only will display a notice that it's not available offline. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these features after you've came back online. (The system that detects if you're online or not is a bit convoluted, but it worked fine on my tests.)
Some technical notes about images:
- All images, such as item icons and interface icons should work properly offline. If any of them don't load, please let me know.
- Dododex downloads all of the images once you're on Wifi. So if you're on your phone's data for example, and then go offline, any images that hadn't already loaded will not be loaded. But once you've went onto Wifi once, it should download all of the images you need.
- To prevent overloading my server, and to prevent such a large amount of files downloaded, creature images are not downloaded automatically. However, as soon as you search for a creature or open the capabilities screen, the app automatically downloads all creature images and saves them since they are loaded onto the screen, so I don't think this will be a problem.

Hi guys! Offline mode is in development! I am hoping to have it included in the next version of the app -- being released on August 25!
The only technical challenges right now are getting the images to preload without causing much delay on loading the app -- especially for people who don't need to be offline. If I run into technical challenges, the first version may have some missing images for some users while offline, but I'll be able to fix it in a future version. :)

Howdy! LOVE DodoDex, and for a good idea id like to see offline support for paid subscribers!! I work away from home and internet access (military) and would love to head out with my ipad/computer and be able to play offline with DodoDex to support my play time. To update my game, and DodoDex before leaving and head out would be AWESOME!! I hope you consider it :)

While I don't expect this will be coming in the next few versions, I hope to add it in the future. I've been slowly preparing more features to work better for an offline mode.

Hi i really would like to see an offline mode. In my country we have only volume based online contracts, so i can only use this app when i'm at home with wifi.
I understand that ads need online connection, but you could add it as a Pro feature.
For the other things like new data, you could add a "update new data" button, so we could update the data when we have wifi.
