Every week, NextPit scours the internet for a selection of great deals on mobile apps and iOS and Android apps that normally cost money, but are currently available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
This list of free apps is updated every week with at least two weekly editions. Some applications may have been repaid between the time of publication and the moment you read this article. Google Play Store promotions on apps are easy to predict, but it’s more complicated with App Store promotions since Apple doesn’t say how long the offer will last.
Quick tip: Whenever you stumble upon an amazing app but don’t have any use for it yet, why not just install it? After doing this, just delete it from your device. That way, the app becomes part of your app library and you can reinstall it whenever you want. This is a fairly reliable method to take full advantage of a short-term promotion.
