A new week has begun, and it is that time of the week again to check out what's available on the respective app stores. Here's where we bring you a variety of premium apps that are currently available for free, but only for a limited time. Keep reading to discover the best app deals on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Please note that the apps featured in this collection are different from our usual picks in the “Top 5 Apps of the Week.” Although we haven't individually reviewed each app, it's important to be aware that some of the listed apps may contain in-app purchases and advertisements.
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.

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 advertising: Don't be surprised!
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 ever-changing landscape of mobile applications, there are a few dishonest ones that use clever tactics to profit from collecting and sharing your personal information. But don't worry, dear tech-savvy readers, because we have some invaluable advice to help you enhance the security of your valuable data. We strongly encourage you to be vigilant when granting permissions to the apps you install.
Indeed, why would a simple alarm clock need access to your camera or contacts? And what reason does a flashlight app have to know your exact location? By carefully choosing which permissions to allow, you can effectively protect your personal data from prying eyes.
So go ahead and explore the wide range of free app downloads available on your Android or iOS device, knowing that your data is safe and protected.
