We are in full swing into winter right now, and for many of us, the holiday season gets really hectic. While there is much for you to do, there is no reason to sit back and take a breather, enjoying apps and games on your smartphone to clear your head. While you might have spent plenty of money on gifts, why not save a bit by checking out our free apps of the week article? This article is published twice a week, one at the beginning and the other at the end.

Our specially curated list of free apps and games on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your iPhone or Android smartphone are free for a limited time only, and we do not know when they will revert to their paid state.

Without rambling on, here is a list of games and apps that have been checked to be free from scams and privacy issues. However, do understand that this list differs from our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week. We did not review each of these apps individually, so some of them might contain advertisements and 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.
