Find Out What's Free for iOS and Android This Week!
Why spend money on something when you can get it for free? In terms of apps, there are many choices on iOS and Android. Usually, the better apps have a price, but sometimes developers may be kind enough to offer their paid apps for free.
However, it's hard to know when these free apps will become paid again. So, if you find an app that you think you'll like, we strongly suggest installing it before it goes back to being paid. This list is updated twice a week and doesn't include any apps that were previously featured.
Although we make efforts to ensure that these apps are not designed to compromise your privacy or deceive you, it is important to note that some of them may have a higher number of advertisements and in-app purchases compared to what you usually encounter. We do not provide in-depth reviews for these apps, but we do guarantee that they have a minimum rating of 3.5 stars. Please note that this article is separate from our weekly publication, Top 5 Apps of the Week.
Tip: If you think there is an app you would like to use in the future but do not need it already, you can download and install it first before uninstalling it. Said app will be considered as "purchased" and available in your app library forever.

Before you download any of the mentioned apps, we recommend you review the app's details on the Play Store or App Store. This is important because some of these free apps may have their own unique features or drawbacks.
In-App purchases and ads: Don't be surprised!
Be cautious with both free and paid apps, as they may disguise in-app purchases and advertisements. This is particularly important when downloading games for children. To prevent any unexpected issues, please consider the following advice:
- How to activate Parental Controls on the Google Play Store
- How to childproof your Android smartphone and tablet
- The Best Parental Control apps
App permissions: Read the fine print!
Certain applications use a clever approach to make money by collecting and exchanging your personal information. To protect your personal data, it is recommended that you only grant necessary permissions for applications to function. For example, a simple alarm clock app does not need access to your camera or contacts. Similarly, a flashlight app does not require your location.
Hopefully, these suggestions will assist you in safely enjoying free app downloads on Android and iOS devices.
