At nextpit, we present you with a selection of complimentary apps for Android devices and iPhones biweekly. Typically, these applications come with a price tag, but for a limited time, you can snag them at no cos t— so act quickly!

Unlike our “Top 5 Apps of the Week,” where we meticulously sift through and evaluate each option, this collection is curated simply because they are free! However, we don't provide a timeline for how long these offers will remain active in either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Therefore, it’s wise to download them without delay. Just remember to keep an eye out for any advertisements, in-app purchases, and potential subscription pitfalls.


Our tip: If you are interested in an app, install it - even if you don't need it straight away. This will mark it as "purchased" and add it to your app library. You can then remove the app directly from your phone and simply install it again for free when you need it.

The deals were live as of the publishing date. If you found an expired deal, please share it in the comments below. 

Before you download one of the apps mentioned, we recommend that you check the details of the app in the Play Store or App Store. This is important because some of these free apps may have their own special features or disadvantages.

In-App Purchases and Ads: No Surprises!

Be careful with both free and paid apps, as they can hide in-app purchases and advertising. This is particularly significant when downloading games for children. To avoid unexpected problems, please follow the advice below:

App Permissions: Read the Fine Print!

In the ever-evolving world of mobile applications, many companies employ savvy tactics to tap into your personal information. But don’t worry, tech aficionados! We’ve compiled crucial strategies to safeguard your precious data. An essential first step is to be selective about the permissions you grant to the applications you opt to download.

Take a moment to ponder: why should a basic alarm clock app need access to your camera or contact list? What rationale might a flashlight app have for requesting your exact location? By carefully assessing the permissions you approve, you can shield your personal information from unauthorized access.

Feel free to dive into the vast array of free apps available on both Android and iOS devices, all while keeping your data secure.

That's all for this week's recommendations! Be sure to check back in due time for our next installment, which will be published in just a few days.
