Are there any good language apps that can be downloaded an used offline?

I assume you mean language-learning.....I have been getting Pimsleur Spanish from the library. It's excellent. You can also buy the course, but if you were to do that I'd suggest getting it through Audible as it's much cheaper than buying directly.
There's Duolingo too which is basically grammar-translation methodology which has been game-itised. Some people love it. I don't love it, but I do keep using it.

I used "Language transfer" and liked it very much. It builds on the many similarities between English and Spanish. It comes in the form of a dialogue between teacher and pupil.

I don't know if it's in the Apple Store, but in Play Store there's a free offline Spanish-English dictionary & translator by Dragoma.

Dragoma has also a Portuguese-Englisch one.

The dictionary dict.cc is also available as offline app.
Has many language combinations.

I love the Ios app - Sayhi
You speak English into it and it translates what you say into the language you've chosen. You hear and see the translation. I recon it would be handy when you are communicating with someone who doesn't know English.
I use it to cheat a little while doing my Duolingo lessons sometimes.
Not sure if it has an offline mode though.

Google translate does the same, and you can download language packs for offline use. You can also use the camera function to instantly translate text, like menus, signs, etc.

I use Microsoft’s Translator app for iOS. It allows for offline use just like Google Translate, as @trecile mentioned. You can’t really go wrong with Google Translate but Microsoft’s app has a few features that I personally like. If you are looking for learning a language with offline capabilities, try Pimsleur. It will teach you the language the way the locals speak rather than learning how to speak like a robot (all too formal).

Out of curiosity, which features on the Microsoft app make it preferable for you? I have both on my phone but find myself using the Google app out of habit. But maybe there are reasons to switch.
