The app is mainly lots of html pages with content, with menus to drill-down in different topics. One of the common complaints from users who have purchased the app is that they need to be connected to the web, after they have purchased the app - to view the content in the app. Once they have seen a page, that page is available in the app, when they are not connected to the internet. So what users have to do is click on every page first after purchasing the app, so they have all content when they are not connected to the web. So my main question is this - is it possible to configure my app, so when users purchase the app and download it, all html content is downloaded with the app download itself?

My first app was based in online information (html content) but after some discussions, i updated to offline information with pdf and ppt document. It depends of course the app and the information that content. Comments For me it was very useful.

No internet connection needed to access the pages. Comments You can use the html doc plugin to store everything locally on the device. No internet connection needed to access the pages.
