    This week’s free Apps and Games – Android and IOS

    With the start of a new week, it’s time to update Droid Tools’ collection of free apps and games for your iPhone or Android phone from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Join us as we highlight applications that are normally paid but are available for free for a limited time.

    We always try to seek games that do not have scams or privacy traps in them but bear in mind that we have not individually reviewed these apps. This means some of them might feature ads and in-app purchases.

    If you find an interesting app on our list but don’t need it right now, install it first and then uninstall it. This saves the software to your library, allowing you to install it later for free, even after the promotion has ended.

  • Temporarily free Google Play Store and Apple App Store apps

    Temporarily free Google Play Store and Apple App Store apps

    Have you ever realized that you were aimlessly browsing through your phone without taking any action? It’s simple to get lost and unsure of which apps to really install when perusing the large selection of apps available on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, whether you’re looking through news, social media, or the apps themselves.

    We are aware of the negative effects of this behavior, but we also value the thrill of finding a free program that is genuinely helpful. Because of this, we at Droid Tools have taken the time to search the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store for free apps that are usually not made available for free.

    It’s crucial to remember that the free versions of the iOS and Android apps we describe below are only accessible right now. The expiration date of this deal is beyond our control. Because of this, it’s essential to take advantage of the chance and download/install any program that grabs your attention as quickly as you can, before it turns back into a paid app.

  • Magisk Manager app from Google Play Store is a Malware

    Magisk Manager app from Google Play Store is a Malware

    official magisk manager

    Magisk is a popular name for Android users who are fond of rooting their smartphones. The app is not available in the Google Play store, either. However in the recent foun that there is a clone of his Magisk on the Google Play store, the app creator John Wu. The clone looks exactly the same as the original Magisk application, and it also has the same name. It was all cool, though, until the time the app was reported to contain malware. That simply means you are not supposed to download the Magisk application from Google Play store.

    Google Play store policy explicitly notes that Google will never allow an app that helps to root. Thus the Magisk could not penetrate the environment of the Play store. However, the app that was mentioned was downloaded and updated about 50k times before people found out about it.

    The app has been listed on the Google Play Store by the Loringo, Inc. , a company that uploads clones of KKGamer Pro, Pro ZArchiver, and android Dolphin Emulator software. The business has used Magisk ‘s branding to distribute malware to Android users who enjoy rooting their computers. The App developer, however, had asked the users to report the app to stop the business. Thus, the Android version is no longer available on the Google Play Store.

    But we should always review an app before we hit the download button for our protection as Android users. However, Magisk will not make its way to the Play store anytime soon according to Google policies. So make sure on Google Play store you stop each and every clone of the application. If possible just go ahead and report it, this way the other android users won’t be targeted by scams and malware
