Can you believe it? It is already December, and for those who have not gotten your Christmas shopping done, perhaps now is the opportunity for you to go so before the stores are packed with last-minute shoppers. Either way, you can always take some time out and enjoy apps and games on your smartphone. Save a penny here and there with our twice-weekly edition of free apps of the 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.

Android apps for productivity and lifestyle

  • My Face Shape Meter and Frames ($2.99): Use this app to identify your face shape based on the type of photos you feed it.
  • Starfield TV Live Wallpaper ($1.49): Live wallpapers do consume battery life on your smartphone, but this one makes you feel like you are in perpetual hyperspace.

Android Games
