How long have you been in love with your smartphone? The free apps of the week for this week are listed below if you feel the need to add a little more flair. We carefully examined the Google Play Store each week for apps that are free since you might wish to spice things up with your device.

These programs normally have a price, but for whatever reason, they are currently accessible to the general public for free for a brief period of time.

Every week, there will be two updates to this list of free apps: one at the start and one at the finish. The standard warning applies in this instance: although these apps were advertised as being free at the time of publication, by the time you read this post or use them, they may have changed to a paid version.

Since there is no set duration for the Google Play Store promotions on apps, they are difficult to spot and can be taken down from the list as quickly as they were added.
