Free iOS and Android Apps this Black Friday Weekend
The Big Kahuna, Black Friday, is upon us. How much have you spent so far? Perhaps the better question for me to ask is, how much have you saved? That's certainly a different perspective of shopping. When it comes to apps, you also get to make the most of it with our curated list of free apps and games on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your iPhone or Android smartphone. These are normally paid apps, but they have been made available for free for a limited time.
First of all, we have carefully selected this list of games and apps that are free from scams or privacy concerns. However, please take note that it is different from our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week article as we did not review these apps one by one. Therefore, some of them might come with 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.
