It isn't all that obvious how the offline function works - which is a shame. I've been caught without offline availability for some articles I saved.
The main thing with the work-around is that you need to start Pocket on your phone while you have a data connection so that the articles are on the phone. There may be an option to automatically download the articles, but I've never found it. After the one-time data connection, it comes up offline.
This is the case when I save from the computer and view them on my phone (or different device, I guess, but I've not checked a different computer). Your luck may vary.
Turn on "Instant Sync" and new additions will be added to your app asap.
Also check your download settings. If set to "download only on wifi" then the app won't download if you're on mobile networks. You can also set the "refresh when opened" option to sync everything when the app is first loaded.

Hmm, I always found this to be obvious, and not a work-around. How else would they entered the phone?
I would not expect to have to open the app. I can set my podcast manager to download episodes automatically -- I don't need to remember to open the app while I'm on data.
