As we come to the close of this week, this is the second edition of the free apps of the week. Here, you will find a selection of free apps and games from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Do you want to make sure you have interesting apps to grace your iPhone or Android handset? Check out our list of apps that are now available for free for a limited time only despite being attached with a price tag at other times.
There are no random apps listed here, but we made sure they are not scams or privacy traps. However, this edition will be different from our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week as we do not individually review these apps. In other words, some of them might feature more ads than what you are used to and in-app purchases.
Tip: If you come across an app that you think you will use in the future but not right now, download and install it first. It will be considered as “purchased” and will be available in your app library forever—even if you uninstall it from your smartphone right after.
