Time and again, app developers offer games for free.

Most recently even an app for now 215 euros.

However, one should be careful with the selection.

Should you really download it?

Munich - Free apps and applications?

This is now part of everyday life for millions of apps in the Google Play Store or Apple Store.

For one or the other application, however, customers still have to open their wallets.

And who doesn't know it?

The particularly popular games cost a few euros.

At the moment, however, many game developers are offering their apps for free.

It pays to be quick.

App Store: “8-bit Console Tank” free of charge instead of 7.99 euros - but the app has its quirks

“8-bit Console Tank”, for example, is a “classic 80s 8-bit arcade game,” writes the developer on the app platform.

A retro game in which users: drive around inside a tank and shoot down enemy vehicles.

The many game worlds, which, according to the provider, are enough to play every day for a year, offer a special charm.

Everything, of course, in a retro pixel look and above all an eye-catcher for fans of old video games.

The game is currently offered free of charge to Apple users instead of 7.99 euros.

It pays to be quick, as the price development of the game over the past few years at

shows.

And then it becomes clear: the price has been set high again and again in previous promotions.

Android users can also download “8-bit Console Tank” for free.

But: hands off, recommends

.

The platform criticizes the frequent advertising banners in an otherwise quite expensive game.

The ads and spots are supposed to be annoying.

But if you are interested in the app, now is the right time.

After all, trying it out is currently free.

Small catch: Apple users need at least iOS 10, as well as recently to use WhatsApp.

A substantial sum for a mobile phone app.
