Apps or applications can be both useful and fun. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played Plants vs Zombie or Angry Birds, or used useful apps to light my path in the dark, jot down important things to remember or checked the news and weather.
While most apps are relatively inexpensive: $.99 to $4.99, buying a lot of them can add up. And since these little programs can sometimes wear out with their useful life when you get bored or need to upgrade, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend a lot of money. Like all things free, you will save money when you don’t spend it. So, before you click to add another charge for a cool app, find out if you can get it, or something similar for free.
Many apps, especially the most popular ones, have free or trial versions available. These may be limited a bit on function, such as only giving you 10 levels of a game instead of the full 35 levels or not allowing you to use certain features. These free trials are meant to help you get familiar with the game or the utility before you commit, but most of them still give you a lot of use. The next time you are interested in a mobile app, search for a free version first.
I’m not too familiar with Android, but I know that you can search the top free apps on your iPhone very easily. When a mobile app makes the top free list, chances are pretty good that it is worth a download, and at the cost of free, there is little risk involved.
You can also make use of websites and services that bring free apps to you. One such service is freeappaday.com, which offers just that, one new free app daily. Apps are available for both the iPhone and Android.
