At my job, we have neither signal nor wifi in certain places (bathroom in the basement). So would appreciate tips on apps to kill five minutes.

This is the absolute goat of logic puzzle games. It has all of them offline, free, with multiple difficulties. Simon Tatham's Puzzles

Tatham's puzzles are great!

Also in this vein, PySol FC has an exstensive library of solitaire card and tile games. Definitely worth checking out.

If you like chess puzzles: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jwtc.android.chess/

It's a full-featured chess app, but what's nice about it is that it's also got a large amount of short chess puzzles that are available offline (unlike lichess).

I'll be the old stodger voice and mention that taking 5 minutes from time to time to not be stimulated is good for mental health, and apparently creativity too.

... And then I'll put in my vote for Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. (In F-droid as Puzzles, app by Chris Boyle)

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a nice collection of quick, simple puzzles. A perfect time killer. It's a staple that I've got on all the devices in my old 2000s PDA collection since it was also built for Windows Mobile and PalmOS.

It was WHAT? Time to dust off my HP Jornadas

You can download full crosswords on the NYT Games app!

I have ebooks on my phone that I read when I can't get Internet.

[–] windie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What apps do you use to read your ebooks?

[–] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Putting in my vote for Librera reader here. Also on f-droid

[–] overcast5348@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Libby for books from the library. Moon reader for other epubs.

5 minutes, not 5 hours, lol, love this game but deffo is a quick way to lose an hour

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.

[–] dillydogg@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Would you ever recommend Factorio to someone who asked for a good 5 minute game!? One of my favorite games, but doesn't fit the bill for me
