Some paid premium apps for iOS and Android are available for free for a very short period of time. That’s when speed is of the essence and that’s why we don’t beat about the bush: here are our suggestions for apps and games that you can get for free!
The Google and Apple app stores, i.e., both the Play Store and the App Store, contain an almost infinite number of apps and games. Some of these apps are free while others cost money.
However, many users don’t realize this hack: Many paid apps are also available for free at certain times, albeit for a limited time. We have put together some of the most exciting apps that are currently available for free for you.

Free apps with traps: What you need to look out for
All the apps we present here were available for free at the time the article was published. Unfortunately, developers often do not specify how long these offers last. So if you like an app, you shouldn’t wait too long and download it quickly.
However, before you download a free app, always take a look at the app page in the store. Sometimes there are hidden stumbling blocks that you should be aware of.
In-app purchases and advertising
Most free apps either contain advertising or offer in-app purchases. However, this is also true of some paid apps. Especially when it comes to a game that is intended for children, it is important to pay the necessary attention to such aspects.
App permissions
Numerous apps collect user data and often sell it. So if you want to be on the safe side, make sure that you only grant the permissions that the app really needs. An alarm clock, for example, does not need access to your cameras or contacts, and a flashlight should not be interested in your location data either.
