Questions
Is there an iPhone version?
Not in the sources. FetchAhead is an Android app on Google Play.
Source: play.google.comWhat does Pro add?
Some scale and automation features. The core saving and reading work without Pro.
Source: play.google.comCan I delete things I no longer need?
Yes. You can delete items one by one or clear the whole library in the app.
Source: play.google.comIf a refresh fails, do I lose the saved copy?
No. A failed refresh keeps the previous good local copy instead of replacing it with a broken one.
Source: play.google.comHow is a pack different from bookmarks?
A pack groups the content itself by situation, stored on the phone, instead of a list of links that may not open later.
Source: play.google.comCan I make separate packs for different plans?
Yes. You can build a pack for a trip, a commute, a study session or a work project and keep each one apart.
