There are times when your smartphone begins to get a little bit stale, especially in terms of apps. What better way to uncover the latest app deals on Android and iOS than by immersing yourself in the thrilling realm of app discounts? In this edition, we have carefully curated a collection of top-notch apps that are currently available for free on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, but only for a limited period.

These apps surpass our customary selection in our weekly "Top 5 Apps of the Week" feature. While we won't delve into detailed reviews for each app, it's worth noting that some may include in-app purchases and advertisements. Nevertheless, fret not, as we have cherry-picked the finest options for you to relish without emptying your wallet. So, without further ado, let us unveil the array of apps waiting to be downloaded for free right this instant.


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.

Beware of in-app purchases and ads!

Both free and paid apps can include hidden in-app purchases and ads, especially in children's games. To avoid surprises, follow these tips:

App Permissions: Be cautious!

Many applications have the ability to collect and share your personal information. In order to safeguard your privacy, it is essential to thoroughly review the permissions requested by each app. Consider this: why would an alarm clock application need access to your camera or contact list? By limiting app permissions, you can ensure that your data remains secure.

Take pleasure in exploring the vast array of free applications available for Android and iOS, all while having the peace of mind that your personal data is being protected.

With that, we have come to the end of this week's list for free apps and games. Were there any apps or games left out here that you think are worth sharing? Please let us know in the comments.
