Jazz Up Your Phone with Free Android and iOS Apps of the Week

This is a very different story from our "Top 5 Apps of the Week" since all the apps listed here normally feature a price tag but the developers have made them available for free temporarily. We carefully looked through these apps to ensure they have minimal microtransactions and carry a minimum rating of 3.5 stars.

However, do take note that these are limited-time offers based on the whims and fancies of the respective app developers. Should you stumble upon an app that is listed but is no longer free, do inform us so we can edit the story accordingly.

Here's a tip: If you come across an app that you'd like to have but don't need right now, download and install it first. It would be considered as "bought" and it will be available in your app library forever—even if you uninstall it from your smartphone right after.
