Limited time offers: free Android and iOS apps and games:

This year, how has your smartphone experience been? Is it time to audit the apps you currently have on your phone? Maybe it is time to try something new, and we may have a free app (or two) that will catch your attention at the beginning of this week. The apps that are listed here are free for a limited period of time, but we have no idea when they will become paid again.

Check out our weekly selection of games and apps below. We make every effort to ensure that these are free of scams and privacy issues, but please note that this list differs from our Apps category in that we do not review each app separately. As a result, some of the apps on this list may contain in-app purchases and advertisements.

Tip: If you come across an interesting app on our list but don’t need it now, install it first and delete it afterward. This will cause the app to be saved to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion ends.
