Though the Indian smartphone market has witnessed robust growth over the years but there still lacks a gap for the Data-rich applications to fair well because of the underdeveloped mobile infrastructure. Most smartphone users in India suffer from weak network connectivity thereby hampering a seamless usage of data through apps.
We present a list of some interesting apps that you can use even with low or no data connectivity, best suited for phones plagued by data issues and memory limits.

The Kindle app puts millions of books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader. It allows you to read ebooks you've purchased via the Kindle store on any device without installing a separate app to do it, regardless of whether you have an active internet connection.
Inshorts
If you like to read your news on the go and get stuck too often due to inconsistent data, Inshorts is the perfect solution.
