Free Apps and Games for Your iPhone or Android This Weekend

We always try to seek games that do not have scams or privacy traps in them but bear in mind that, unlike our weekly Top 5 Apps selection, we have not individually reviewed these apps. This means some of them might feature an insane number of ads and in-app purchases.

• Don't miss this: How to find free apps for Android and iOS

---

Tip: If you come across an interesting app on our list but don't need it now, install it first and delete it afterward. This will cause the app to be saved to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion ends.

• My City: After School ($3.99): It is Persona for young kids! I am kidding, invite your school friends to a series of activities in the park, and leave the zombies, ghosts, or other scary things to the PlayStation classic.

Hopefully, you would have found our selections to kick off this week entertaining. Did something interesting catch your eye, or is there an app or game on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store that you would like to recommend? Share your recommendations with us in the comments!
