We have put together some of the most exciting apps that are currently available for free.
Free Pro apps (Android)
- Up Left Out
($2.29) - This puzzle game, reduced to the essentials, clearly stands out. No advertising, scoring systems or time limits have been integrated into the app. And even text is completely omitted. The aim is for players to calm down and immerse themselves completely in the puzzle experience (4.5 stars, 3,690 ratings) - Defenchick: tower defense

Free premium apps (iOS)
- Pop Art Lite
(S1.99) - This app allows you to transform photos into impressive works of art. Alternatively, you can simply describe which motifs you want and the program will create suitable designs. Video editing is also possible. The many positive reviews speak for themselves. However, there is one major disadvantage: in-app purchases are included (4.5 stars, 284 ratings) - Paintiles
($1.99) - At first, this colorful puzzle game seems quite simple. Three colors are used to redecorate the tiles. But you soon unlock new game mechanics: a crumbling floor, rainbow tiles and bombs. Each of these new features changes the dynamics of the game and requires the player to adapt their strategy and look for new approaches (4.3 stars, 8 ratings) - Déjà Vu Photos
($1.99) - This app turns your smartphone into a time machine, so to speak. It draws on a large collection of historical archive photos and combines them with the iPhone's camera and GPS. The result is an augmented reality experience in which past photos can be directly compared with today's surroundings - an exciting visual journey back in time (no reviews).
Free apps with traps - what you need to watch out for
All the apps we present here were available for free at the time of publication of this article. Unfortunately, developers often don't 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, you should always take a look at the app page in the store. Because 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, some paid apps also do this. It is important to pay the necessary attention to these aspects, especially if the game is intended for children.
App permissions
Numerous apps collect user data and often sell it on. 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.
