Enjoy Your Weekend With These Free iOS And Android Apps

I am sure you would always want something for free than to pay for it, even more so when that something is particularly useful. When it comes to apps, there are numerous apps available on the iOS and Android platforms. The better ones tend to be paid, but from time to time, developers offer their normally paid apps for free.

Unfortunately, we are unable to tell just when these temporarily free apps will become paid again. Having said that, if you come across an app that you think you would enjoy using, we highly recommend you download it first before it reverts to being paid. This list is published twice each week without any repeating apps.

While we do our level best to ensure these apps are not scams or privacy traps, some of them might feature more ads than usual in addition to an unusual amount of in-app purchases. We do not review the apps, but make sure they are rated at least 3.5 stars. It is different from our Top 5 Apps of the Week article which is published once each week.


Tip: If you think there is an app you would like to use in the future but do not need it already, you can download and install it first before uninstalling it. Said app will be considered as “purchased” and available in your app library forever.

Before you download any of the mentioned apps, we recommend you review the app’s details on the Play Store or App Store. This is important because some of these free apps may have their own unique features or drawbacks.

In-App purchases and ads: Don’t be surprised!

Be cautious with both free and paid apps, as they may disguise in-app purchases and advertisements. This is particularly important when downloading games for children. To prevent any unexpected issues, please take into account the following advice:

App permissions: Read the fine print!

Some applications employ a subtle strategy to generate profits by gathering and trading your personal data. To ensure your personal data’s safety, it is advisable to grant only the necessary permissions for applications to operate. For instance, an alarm clock application does not require camera functionality or access to your contacts. Similarly, a flashlight app does not need access to your location.

Hopefully, these few tips can help you enjoy these Android and iOS free app downloads.
