FREE APPS WITH A CATCH – YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT
All of the applications listed above were available free of charge at the time the article was made. Unfortunately, developers rarely state how long the offer will last. If you like an app, you should download it as soon as possible.
Before downloading the free apps, however, it is advisable to take a closer look at the respective pages in the Play Store or the App Store. Because some programs harbor different stumbling blocks.
In-App Purchases and Advertising
As a rule, in-app purchases and advertising are more likely to be found in free applications, but full versions are often not spared either – regardless of whether they were purchased for free or for a fee. This is especially relevant if the downloaded program is a game intended for youngsters. In such and similar cases, one of the following parental controls can help:
The best parental control apps: Cell phone parental control can be that easy
Set up Android parental controls – it’s that easy
iPhone parental controls: How to make your iOS device kid-friendly
App Permissions
Some applications are profitable by collecting user information and selling it on, for example. If you want to be on the safe side, you should make sure that you only grant apps the permissions they need to function. An alarm clock usually doesn’t need access to the camera or your contacts, while a flashlight doesn’t need to care about your location data.
