Google Play Store app promotions are pretty easy to predict, but it’s more complicated with those on the Apple Apps Store, since Apple doesn’t specify just how long the discount will remain valid.
Here’s a tip: If you find an interesting app but can’t really use it right now? Install the app anyway, then delete it from your device. That way, the app will become part of your app library, and you can install it again for free when you need it. This is a good way not to miss out on a short-lived promo.
Free Apps in the Google Play Store
- Sketch Me! Pro (
$1.49): Get a photo app that lets you turn your own pictures into crayon and pencil drawings with Sketch Me! - BlackCam Pro (

$1.99): A four-star rated file explorer. It lets you search files on your hard drive or conveniently install APKs, for example. - Multiscreen Calculator with Voice Input Pro (
$3.99): You’re obviously getting a fantastic calculator here. From the screenshots, I wouldn’t have guessed that the app was rated 4.5 stars by nearly 4,000 users. - CP Meeting Notes (
$2.99): A cross between a notes app and a voice recorder. Only rated by 35 voices so far, but you might find it quite interesting! - One Swipe Notes (
