Free iOS And Android Apps of the Week

We always try to search for games that do not carry the scent of scams or privacy traps but unlike our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week selection, we do not review these apps individually. In other words, some of them might feature an insane number of ads and in-app purchases.

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.
