Get this week’s Android and iOS apps for free here!

Published twice a week, we help you avoid wasting your time digging through the plethora of useless apps in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Instead, we’ve scoured both app stores to create a curated, highlighted list of paid apps that we think are worth your while. However, there are some caveats. These apps are temporarily available for free. Check it out below.

Sometimes you come across an interesting app that you’re interested in but don’t want to pay upfront. That’s why we search the Apple App Store and Google Play Store twice each week to find paid apps that are currently available for free. These are all limited time offers and we don’t know when the developer will stop these offers.

No one wants to waste time on poorly programmed apps or boring games. For this reason, we strive to only feature apps that have received his 3.5 star rating or higher. This is different from the Top 5 Apps of the Week because this list actually reviews recommended apps.

Hint: If you find an interesting app listed here but don’t need it at the moment, we highly recommend installing it before uninstalling it. The app will then be saved to your library and you can install it later without paying, even after the promotion ends.
