Free apps and their pitfalls
All the apps we present here were available for free at the time the article was published. Unfortunately, developers often do not specify how long these offers last. So if you like an app, you shouldn’t wait too long and download it quickly.
However, before you download a free app, you should always check the app page in the store. Because sometimes there are hidden stumbling blocks that you should be aware of.
In-app Purchases
Most free apps either contain advertising or offer in-app purchases. However, this is also the case with some paid apps. Especially for a game intended for children, it is important to pay close attention to such aspects.
Permissions
Numerous apps collect user data and often sell it. So if you want to be on the safe side, make sure that you only grant the permissions that the app really needs. An alarm clock, for example, does not need access to your cameras or contacts, and a flashlight should not be interested in your location data either.
