About this channel
What the channel posts
App Store Deals is an independent English-language channel that spots iOS apps which are normally paid but temporarily free. Each post gives the app’s name, its previous price, a one-line pitch of what it does and a short comment. Some deals cover lifetime in-app purchases unlocked for free, occasionally with a code to enter. Once a promotion ends, the post is marked as expired.
Most featured apps relate to productivity and wellbeing: to-do lists, habit trackers, PDF tools, counters and digital business cards, with the odd game. The channel also runs polls and, less often, posts messages that have nothing to do with apps.
Who it is for
It is aimed at iPhone and iPad users who like trying out apps without paying, especially tools for personal organisation.
Good to know
Posting is irregular, with stretches of several weeks without a new deal. Free offers are time-limited, so before you download, check on the app’s store page that the price really shows as free and see who the developer is, particularly if a subscription is offered afterwards.
