Free apps and their pitfalls
All the apps we feature here were available for free at the time of publication. Unfortunately, developers often don’t specify how long these offers will last. So, if you like an app, you shouldn’t wait too long and download it quickly.
Before downloading a free app, you should always take a look at the app’s page in the store. Sometimes there are hidden pitfalls you should be aware of.
In-app purchases
Most free apps either contain advertising or offer in-app purchases. However, this is also true for some paid apps. It’s particularly important to pay attention to these aspects when dealing with games intended for children.
Permissions
Numerous apps collect user data and often sell it. If you want to be on the safe side, ensure you grant only the permissions the app needs. An alarm clock, for example, doesn’t need access to your cameras or contacts, and a flashlight shouldn’t be interested in your location data.
Which of the above apps will see the light of day on your phone?
