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.
