Apps Gone Free on 3/2. Flashcard Touch, HandWriting Mail, and More!

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

“Apps Gone Free” is our daily column that features great and valuable paid apps that have just gone free. They have gone free temporarily because the developers want their apps to get some exposure and user ratings for promotional purposes.

There are many sites that offer daily free apps. We’ve put them together on a single page so you don’t have to waste your time browsing several sites to find those free apps.

We’ll also list free apps you won’t find elsewhere. On a given day, there may be 20-50 apps that have gone free temporarily. However, many are crappy apps that offer nothing of value. We’ve tested them and filtered out crappy apps from our list so the apps we feature are quality apps that are actually worth your time to download.

But get these apps quickly because most are just free for a limited time. Some apps are free for even less than a day! So don’t be late in getting these premium apps and games for free. Follow us on Twitter or Subscribe by email to get instant daily free app notifications.
