The weekend is upon us yet again, and this time we have a bunch of totally different apps on the iOS and Android platforms that are available for free in Friday's free apps of the week edition compared to our Tuesday edition.

These apps are free for your iPhone and Android temporarily. Normally, they would cost something, but developers do offer them at no cost at all on occasion. We look out for the best deals for you twice each week on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Note that while the list of apps here is free now, these deals do tend to expire without any prior warning based on the developer's own preferences. The promotional period for apps on these platforms can end at any time at the behest of the developer.

NextPit ensures none of these apps in our free list are rated lower than 3.5 stars. Unlike our Top 5 Apps of the Week, we did not install and review any of the listed apps. You are strongly encouraged to perform your due diligence before downloading, as some of them might have hidden in-app purchases.

Tip: If you find an interesting app on our list but don't need it now, install, and delete it. This will save the app to your library, allowing you to install it later without having to fork out a fee, even after the promotion ends.
