Tuesday, February 16, 2010

“Great 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.

Usually there may be 20 to 50 apps gone free per day. 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.
