Kiwix allows you to enjoy a lot of different content offline, without any access to internet. It's a desktop application, but we also release a HTTP server version called kiwix-serve. But before using Kiwix, you need to download it in accordance with the operating system you're using. Then, after starting Kiwix on your computer, you will be able to choose the content of your wishes in the Kiwix library and download it directly from Kiwix.

You can download the ZIM file (or files) directly using the Kiwix App, but this may take a long time and is liable to errors. A faster and more reliable method is to use a computer to download the ZIM file from this web site then transfer the ZIM file to your iOS device using iTunes File Sharing.
