Many places today offer free wifi, banks, supermarkets food outlets,
public libraries, trains and buses etc, you do not even have to be a
customer to pick up their wifi signal on your smartphone using wifi
scan. You can usually access the signal in the street so the wifi
provider does not have to be open if its on 24x7.

Here is a sample of useful amateur radio programs that are free from
the smartphone play store, there are many more you might like to try
just search for them.
