Free Android & iOS apps: Get these paid versions today!
Happy 2023! How has your new year celebrations been? Did you manage to get enough rest over the holiday season? Now that we are starting on a brand-new slate, here is a list of apps from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store to your attention. These apps normally come with a price tag, but can be installed for free for a limited time only. Won't it be great to play some games and use productivity apps that cost you nothing as you being on the great adventure that is known as 2023?
This list of free apps will be updated twice each week. The usual caveat applies though: these apps are available for free at the time of publishing, but by the time you read this article or actually check out the listed apps, they might have reverted to their paid status. While Google Play Store promos on apps are relatively easy to look out for, things do get more complicated with the Apple App Store as promotions there is no particular time frame on when it will last, and can just disappear in the blink of an eye.
Quick tip: Whenever you come across an interesting app or game in our list but have no use for it just yet, or your device has simply way too much space, you can go ahead and install the app for now. Upon doing so, you can delete the newly installed app from your device as it would already have become part of your app library. This allows you to install it in the future as and when required. This is a reliable method to take full advantage of a short-lived promotion.
