What would you use in your community to use if they were totally off the grid, with bad phone signal and no internet connection?

What apps and tool would you recommend them, so they don't feel like in the stone age?

I'd recommend Kiwi. You can use it combined with Wikipedia's ZIM files to have access to just about all of Wikipedia offline.

I would recommend installing all of Libre Office's programs for work purposes. It's free and open source so you won't have to deal with licenses and unwanted updates.

Calibre would be a good tool to have for reading ebooks and converting files.

There's also apps like RedditOffline so if you have an intermittent connection you can browse threads offline. I imagine similar services exist for other platforms.
