news+ not loading downloaded content when offline

I subscribe to news plus. When I’m offline (eg airplane mode), the app will not display the downloaded content, I.e magazines. From time to time it works, but not consistently. Anyone know how to address this? I only read news plus on an iPad that does not have cell service (WiFi only).

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi

I have been complaining to Apple about this since they got rid of the Texture app which worked way better than Apple News. It is very inconsistent reading offline. What seems to be a temporary fix is make sure you turn off the WiFi on the plane. Then sometimes you will have to wait about 5 min for the offline downloaded magazines to show up. It’s really annoying and not something you would expect from Apple.
