A digital magazine application associated with a digital magazine server executes on a client device and allows a user to interact with content from the digital magazine server even when the client device is unable to communicate with the digital magazine server. When the application detects loss of communication with the digital magazine server, interactions received by the application after the loss of communication has been detected are stored in a queue on the client device. When communication with the digital magazine server is reestablished, interactions from the queue are communicated to the digital magazine server. Certain interactions having less than a threshold measure of time dependency are stored in the queue in an order based on their associated timestamps, allowing the stored interactions to be later executed in an appropriate order by the digital magazine server.
