As with every week, kwgeek brings you a selection of great deals on mobile apps and games for iOS and Android, which are usually paid but are temporarily free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
This list of free apps is updated weekly with at least two versions per week, Tuesday and Saturday. Some applications may have been paid for again between publication and you viewing this article. Google Play Store promotions on apps are easy to predict, but more complicated than App Store promotions because Apple doesn’t specify how long the discounts will expire.
Small suggestion: You found an interesting app but you can’t really use it right now? Install the app anyway and delete it from your device. This way, the app becomes part of your app library and you can install it again for free when you need it. A great way to not miss a short sale.
