Free iOS And Android Apps Of The Week

This is a very different list from our Top 5 Apps of the Week as there are no individual app reviews. However, we 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.

Another important point to take note of: Many of these free apps are available on a limited-time promotion. By the time you are done 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.
