So you have just gifted yourself a brand new phone, and are interested in filling it up with different apps. Scrolling through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, you realize that most of the apps you like are paid. However, did you know that there are some app developers who give away their apps for free for a limited time only?
That is why we do all the hard work and search for these temporarily free apps. We publish this free iOS and Android apps of the week column twice a week. The first is on a Tuesday while the other is on a Friday. If you are not looking for bargains today but prefer to be in the know instead, you would do well to bookmark our page.
This is different from our Top 5 Apps of the Week since we do not individually install and review these apps. We do make sure that these apps do not contain too many microtransactions and feature a minimum 3.5-star rating in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store for added peace of mind.
Another important point to take note of: Many of these free apps are available for a limited time only. By the time you finish reading this article, one of the listed free apps may no longer be free. Please let us know and we will remove the app from the article.
Another hot tip: If you come across an exciting app but don’t need it right now, download and install it anyway. This way, you have “bought” it once for free and it will be available in your app library forever—even if you delete it from your smartphone after that.
