If you’re into shopping at all, and online version of it in particular, Black Friday and Cyber Monday would be nothing unfamiliar or new to you. Every year, retailers, brand manufacturers, stores and supermarket chains, wireless carriers, and almost everyone else, goes on a sale spree for the shopping frenzy that both these days are. Cyber Monday, in particular, caters to the digital crowd, and aside from the sales on goods that it brings, the app crowd can also rejoice, for this year’s no exception – both the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store – the conveyors of world’s biggest share of smartphone apps – are seeing massive sales on apps that have gone on pricing diets to mark the celebration weekend. We brought you a compilation of all the greatest iOS apps that went free for Black Friday a couple of days back, and now it’s time for its Android counterpart, the Google Play Store.
Before we list down all the magnificent app deals that we’ve discovered for Google’s platform, allow me to explain that unlike the iTunes App Store, Play Store does not usually find apps going completely free. Instead, what you get is sales, where prices are brutally slashed down for the consumer’s benefits. How good a practice that is, or whether customers really benefit from it or not, we leave it to you to be the judge, but the fact remains that Play Store does offer a lot of apps (albeit with ads) for free that iOS would have you charge for. Nevertheless, getting down to business, here are some of the best Cyber Monday deals for Android users.

This is not all – a lot of games, like Dead Trigger (one of my personal favorites), have slashed in-app purchases by 50%. Google has, in fact, announced a player appreciation promotion, whereby mobile gamers can get amazing discounts on loads of in-game currency, special items, upgrades and packs and whatnot, on account of Cyber Monday. The list of promoted titles includes the likes of Zynga Poker, Pocket Legends and Eternity Warriors II, just to name a few, so get in your shopping boots and take benefit of all these sales while they last.
