We draw ever closer to Black Friday, but just before you go all out on your shopping spree, check out the second edition of this week’s selection of free apps and games from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your iPhone or Android smartphone. Take a moment to view our list of applications that are normally available for a fee, but are currently available for free for a limited time.
We always hunt for games and apps that are free of scams or privacy issues, but please note that, unlike our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week list, we have not individually reviewed these apps. Therefore, some of them may contain advertisements and offer in-app purchases.
Tip: If you come across an interesting app on our list but don’t need it now, install it first and delete it afterward. This will cause the app to be saved to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion ends.
