TC Offline - Free, No Ads
Free AppAbout TC Offline - Free, No Ads
TC Offline allows you to read Thought Catalog in a mobile-friendly format, archiving recent articles for offline access. Whether you're underground on the subway or in the air on a flight, you'll always be able to catch up on Thought Catalog.
This app is FREE and includes NO ADVERTISING (beyond what the website itself may reference), allowing you to focus on Thought Catalog.
FEATURES
- Reimagining of Thought Catalog design:
Articles are custom-formatted to be mobile-friendly. The app implements modern Holo design elements throughout. Looks great on tablets as well.
- Offline access:
The 25 most recent articles posted to Thought Catalog are available through the app, and will refresh on-demand or every 24 hours.
- Easily share with friends:
Share each article via text message, Gmail, Facebook, Reddit, etc.
-Intuitive navigation
Simply swipe from left to right to navigate between articles. No need to deal with clumsy buttons.
- Light on data, heavy on entertainment:
The app's minimalist design theme is reflected in the use of system resources; the app generally uses less than 30 MB of RAM. The app will refresh articles only when you want -- when you manually refresh the articles, or when you open the app (if the articles are more than 24 hours old).
- Continue browsing online:
Easily continue reading when you have exhausted the articles available on your phone.

The title bar takes up too much space that could be alloted for the article. And only 10 articles are available?? Hoping for improvements! Thumbs up!

I love TC offline.. My suggestion though, that perhaps you could add option for some access to older archives. These 25 offline articles loaded sometimes are just not enough for my reading, and if I were to reload there usually aren't much new article - or none at all. Thanks!

I have not come across any bugs yet with my SG3. No FCs either. App works well, it's clean, although not visually appealing - which may actually be a good thing as simplicity can sometimes be better, therefore keep it from being overwhelming. Only suggestion would be to allow the user to change from 10 articles to load to something of their choice. Otherwise this limitation is not a big deal. Keeping images from loading is a great idea. +1

The app should showcase more articles and have the ability to search for old articles. An option to login, save favorite articles, and go to specific authors would be great too! Also would be nice if pictures seen on site and in articles popped up in app (don't have to open link to view).
