I have used it many times when I didn't have service and needed to answer a question or needed something to read (I travel a lot).

Same here! Kiwix comes in clutch on flights. I've used it so many times to get background knowledge on topics mid-read. Plus free and open source. Such a great service.

Yes! I’ve used it on flights and long train rides (and generally when travelling) when the network connection might be a bit patchy.
