IMPORTANT NOTICE: We never take a break, but the App Store does, which is why we're sorry to have to tell you this: you won't be seeing a new AppsGoneFree issue until the end of the year!
The reason behind this is that Apple closes down iTunes Connect for a one-week period during the holidays, which means app developers are not able to log into the developer portal to update their apps and change their prices. Without price changes, we have nothing to share with you!
So enjoy this final issue of AppsGoneFree before the holiday break, and then go be with your friends and family! We'll send you a push notification the moment a new AppsGoneFree issue is available, so don't worry about missing anything. Thanks for all of your support!
All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.
