Who doesn’t like free apps? Get these paid versions for free!

This list of free apps is updated on a weekly basis with at least two weekly editions to keep it fresh. Between the publication and the moment you read this article, there is a possibility that some of the listed applications have become paid again. Google Play Store promos on apps are fairly easy to predict, but things get more complicated with App Store promos since Apple doesn't specify how long the discount is valid.

• Follow our complete guide to finding free apps for Android and iOS without being scammed

Quick tip: Whenever you stumble upon an interesting app but have no real use for it just yet, why not just install the app? After doing so, just delete it from your device. This way, the app will become part of your app library and you can install it again for free when you need it. It is a perfectly good way to take advantage of these short-lived promotions.
