Android Apps

So, with Thanksgiving now upon us, it's likely that many of you have already spent a great deal on new smartphones, tablets, and of course, food and drink. But app devs are also joining in the shenanigans of today and the rest of the weekend, making huge price cuts that allow app shoppers to snap up some incredible bargains, and having just brought you a long list of paid iOS apps gone free, we're back with another run-down of Android apps to be had at no cost.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is still far from a major release on devices other than the Nexus 6 and 9 but the one feature - in addition to loads of others - getting a lot of attention lately is Smart Lock, with the option of adding trusted places. This location based trigger basically tells your device to ease off on the security measures in place for the lock screen on Lollipop. A sweet little addition indeed, and it is limited to Android 5.0 for now. However, this is Android we're talking about, and you can get the very same feature on any other device which is not even on Lollipop.

We regularly feature some great deals on apps here, and today's pickings make for particularly happy reading if you happen to be running Google's Android mobile operating system. For a very limited time, you can pluck a total of seventeen paid apps for no charge whatsoever, and if your home screen is feeling a little bereft of fresh content, here's a prime opportunity for you to rectify the situation.
