Free App Hero – Let me tell you about this app
As you may have noticed, there has been much more activity in the iPhone category for iThing gaming bargains recently. That’s because Stu Campbell has taken the Savy Reigns for that area. Since I am far from an expert, and he has a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of the iPhone gaming scene, he’s far more capable than I.
Another thing that he does is Free App Hero, an iPhone App for tracking free games.
It has one section dedicated to games that are permanently free, and one constantly updated section with temporary giveaways. It does not include any ad supported games, “lite” versions or freemium games, and unlike every other free app tracker I have seen, every single game posted has been hand selected, rather than automatically scraped from the store. Every game has a snappy review, so you can decide whether it’s even worth your time installing.
It has a lot of the same ethos as what I try to do with SavyGamer, and I’d say if you have an iThing and like games where you use your fingers to touch the screen, it is a must have.
It’s available for ÂŁ1.19, or a free version, which is ad supported and is missing some games, and Stu wrote about it himself here.
I got it a while back and I love it. I download loads of stuff and delete about 90% of straight away, but it just keeps me trying new games that I probably wouldn’t have found out about otherwise.
Plus it means I don’t have to look at that top 25 chart in the App Store and seeing the depressing site of Angry Birds being there. Every. Single. Time.
Great app – useful, informative and funny. Found so many games I’d never even heard of.
Excellent thanks for this mate
is there anything similar for android?
Not that I know of, sadly.
Android version would be great please Stu 🙂
Buy me an Android phone, then…
