Are you ready to meet the weekend and recharge? We are excited to present our carefully selected collection of must-have free applications that you definitely don’t want to overlook this week! Our committed team has delved into both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, discovering apps that are usually priced but are currently accessible without charge for users on both Android and iOS devices.

Before you dive into downloading these essentials, please be aware that we haven't conducted individual tests or reviews for each app this time around, marking a shift from our typical "Top 5 Apps of the Week" format. Our goal is to showcase applications that boast excellent ratings and are genuinely free at the moment. Just a gentle reminder: some may include optional in-app purchases or advertisements. Enjoy your discovery!


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.

The deals were live as of the publishing date. If you found an expired deal, please share it in the comments below. 

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 Ads: No Surprises!

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 Fine Print!

In the fast-evolving world of mobile apps, a handful of companies employ crafty tactics to capitalize on your personal data. But don’t worry, fellow tech aficionados; we have some vital strategies to help you better protect your cherished information. It’s essential to be vigilant about the permissions you grant to the apps you decide to download.

Consider this: why would a simple alarm clock need access to your camera or contact list? Or how could a flashlight app justify requiring your exact location? By carefully controlling the permissions you accept, you can significantly shield your personal details from unwarranted access.

You are welcome to dive into the vast array of free apps available for both Android and iOS devices, all while resting assured that your data remains secure and safeguarded.
