As we approach Black Friday, take a moment to browse through this week's collection of free apps and games from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your iPhone or Android smartphone. Before you embark on a shopping spree, check out our list of applications that are usually paid but are currently available for free for a limited time.

Rest assured, we have carefully selected games and apps that are free from scams or privacy concerns. However, please note that unlike our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week list, we have not individually reviewed these apps. Therefore, some of them may include advertisements and offer in-app purchases.


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.

Android apps for productivity and lifestyle

  • Sleep BeReal Sound ($14.99): An app that claims to help you fall asleep faster and better by playing calming sounds inspired by nature.
