Now that we’ve come to the end of another long week, it’s time to let off steam from work and life in general by unwinding with fun apps and games. That said, playing the same old games every week quickly gets boring. Or maybe you are looking for a change in life. Fortune smiles on you then because you are in the right place. We have specially selected apps and games for Android phones and iPhones that are available for free for a limited time only! Let us show you how to get your hands on those precious app downloads without having to drain your bank account.
Indeed, the Google Play Store and Apple App Store regularly offer discounts and promotions where you can get paid apps for free for a limited time.

We’ve gathered these free apps and listed them for you, unlike our top five apps of the week list, we won’t install every app listed below. However, proceed with some caution, as some of them may require microtransactions to help you get further in the game. What’s your favorite of the week? Maybe UT Promoter Pro, an app for inspirational influencers looking to grow their follower base? Or maybe the Despotism 3k game, where you yourself are an all-powerful AI to fight against humanity?
Point: Want to keep the app free for the future, but don’t need it right now? Just download and install it once, and uninstall it if you need space. This way, it will always be added and kept in your list of purchased apps, and you can download it again for free in the future once you need it.
