Ready to refresh your home screen without spending a dime? This week’s free Android app list is particularly strong, featuring a special highlight app that you definitely won’t want to miss. Here is the full roundup.
We’ve put together a bundle of four Android apps. These usually cost money, but they’re currently available for free. This week’s highlight: a color puzzle that we’ve played through ourselves several times. Perfect for a quick gaming session.
The Google Play Store offers a seemingly endless number of apps. Some of these apps are free, while others require payment. However, what many users don’t know is that many paid apps are sometimes available for free as part of a special offer. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most exciting apps that are currently available for free.
Free Pro Apps (Android)
- Colorzzle (
$0.99) – The basic principle of this color puzzle is both simple and ingenious. Players rotate and slide individual tiles to combine different colors. The goal is to create a smooth and harmonious transition from one hue to the next. However, the game isn’t limited to this. Additional mechanics are constantly introduced as the game progresses, such as mirrors, directed beams of color, and color-changing tiles. This significantly increases the challenge and complexity of the later levels. (4.4 stars, 5,660 ratings) - Stark Stretching (
$1.99) – Fitness and exercise apps are currently in high demand. This is hardly surprising, as exercise in general is very popular. However, stretching is often neglected. This fitness app addresses this need. Instead of focusing on classic workouts, it specifically targets various stretching exercises. (3.8 stars, 293 reviews) - Compress Video – Resize Video (
$3.49) – As a general rule, the higher the quality of a video, the larger the file size. This is a disadvantage, however, because videos quickly take up a lot of storage space these days. If you don’t always need the highest resolution, you can use this application to reduce the size of your video files. This significantly frees up storage space on your smartphone. (4.6 stars, 2,040 ratings) - Business Card Maker: Logo Card (
$5.99) – Have you been thinking about designing your own business card for a while? Now’s the perfect opportunity. This application offers many ready-made templates, boasts a user-friendly interface, and allows you to flexibly add various elements – such as a logo, contact information, or even QR codes.

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 on. So, if you want to be on the safe side, make sure you only grant the permissions the app actually 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.
