What Free Apps Are There on iOS and Android This Week?

Our curated list of free apps and games on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for your iPhone or Android smartphone are normally paid, but developers have made them available for free temporarily.

To begin, we listed a bunch of games and apps that have been vetted to be free from scams and privacy issues. However, do take note that this list differs from our weekly Top 5 Apps of the Week. We did not review each of these apps individually, so some of them might contain advertisements and in-app purchases.

Tip: If you come across an interesting app on our list but don't need it now, install it first and delete it afterward. This will cause the app to be saved to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion ends.
