Many developers offer their apps and games for iOS and Android for free for a short time. But not all of them are really good. TECHBOOK therefore presents the free apps that are worth downloading.
Whether games, useful tools or learning aids – for many good apps you usually have to pay a small sum. But from time to time these apps are also available free of charge in the Apple App Store or in the Google Play Store. TECHBOOK reveals which free apps are currently available and has selected the best ones for you.
The free apps of the day presented here are mostly offers that are only available for a short time. If you are interested in an application, you should be quick, because today’s free apps could already be subject to a charge tomorrow.
