Again and again there are free apps for Android and iOS, which otherwise actually cost something. TECHBOOK looked around the Google PlayStore and Apple App Store and compiled a list of apps that are free for a short time.
The apps listed in this news are not permanently offered free of charge. The free promotion period is usually only valid for a short time. If you are interested in an application, you should be quick with the download. For a better overview, we have concentrated our selection on apps for Android and iOS that have at least received a good rating and sorted them by category.
