APPLE’S App Store houses more than 250,000 iOS apps, and the apps have been downloaded more than 6.5 billion times. However, according to App Store analytics provider Distimo, only 28 per cent of apps on the App Store are free.
But did you know that you can get paid apps for free? There are websites that alert you to free paid apps available on the App Store. Sign up for their notifications, and once you get the alert, download the app if you’re interested.
If you are wondering why these paid apps are available for free, the answer is: Maximum exposure. With so many apps available on the App Store, developers need to find a way to let their apps stand out. Downloads usually increase significantly when a paid app is free. Thus, the app has a chance to reach the top 10 most popular list where it is most visible. This will, in turn, drive up sales for the developers.
