While I don’t think it’s what you are referring too, I use the Minipedia app 
which provides the N most popular articles in an offline format which I find 
useful when travelling. N is determined by how much you pay. Since it doesn’t 
offer to update the collection, I presume the articles are some years old but I 
don’t find it a problem in practice when I just want to learn something about 
Swaziland for example. I don’t think Minipedia has anything to do with WMF 
other than legitimately reusing its content.
