Discover these apps to kickstart your week with a bang, as talented developers are generously offering their paid apps for free on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We have carefully selected games and applications that are usually not free but are currently available at no cost for a limited time. Don’t miss out on this opportunity, as time is of the essence and these apps won’t stay free forever.
Our aim is to suggest games and apps that prioritize your privacy and won’t put a strain on your budget. However, unlike our Top 5 Apps of the Week selection, we have not personally reviewed these apps. Therefore, some of the listed apps may contain ads and offer in-app purchases.
Tip: If you come across an app that you’d like to have but don’t need right now, download and install it first. It would be considered as “bought” and it will be available in your app library forever—even if you uninstall it from your smartphone right after.

Before you download one of the apps mentioned, we recommend that you check the details of the app in the Play Store or App Store. This is important because some of these free apps may have their own special features or disadvantages.
In-app purchases and advertising: Don’t be surprised!
Be careful with both free and paid apps, as they can hide in-app purchases and advertising. This is particularly significant when downloading games for children. To avoid unexpected problems, please follow the advice below:
App permissions: Read the small print!
Some apps use clever tactics to generate revenue by collecting and sharing your personal data. To protect your personal data, it is advisable to only grant the permissions required for the app to function. For example, a simple alarm clock app does not need access to your camera or your contacts. Similarly, a flashlight app does not need your location.
We hope these recommendations will help you to safely enjoy free app downloads on Android and iOS devices.
We hope you will have a wonderful weekend as you try these apps and games out. Is there an app you would like to share with us? Please let us know in the comments!
