With the start of a new week, it’s time to update Droid Tools’ collection of free apps and games for your iPhone or Android phone from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Join us as we highlight applications that are normally paid but are available for free for a limited time.
We always try to seek games that do not have scams or privacy traps in them but bear in mind that we have not individually reviewed these apps. This means some of them might feature ads and in-app purchases.
If you find an interesting app on our list but don’t need it right now, install it first and then uninstall it. This saves the software to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion has ended.
Hopefully, you found our picks to kick off this week enjoyable. Did you notice anything noteworthy, or do you have a favorite program or game from the Google Play Store or Apple program Store? Please leave your suggestions in the comments!

Developers have discovered that Android 17 quietly blocks apps from checking whether Developer Options and USB Debugging are turned on, in what's being described as one of the release's hidden changes.
