The following free apps are available from Google Play Store to start a brand-new week. These apps are usually paid, but right now they are available for free for a certain period of time. In other words, installing these won’t cost you a single penny! Before they disappear, take advantage of these offers on your device.
Be aware that although these apps are currently advertised as being free, there is no way of knowing when these offers will stop. As a result, by the time you finish reading this page or attempt to download them, they may have changed to a paid status. This is problematic because there is no predetermined duration for app promotions on the Google Play Store and such offers may end without prior notice in the same amount of time they were added.
Here’s a tip: If you come across an app or game on our list that piques your interest but you don’t need it right now, why not install it first before deleting it from your device? Doing so will save that app to your app library, which you can install it later in the future when you need it. It’s a great way to take full advantage of short-lived promotions.
