You can get a LOT of great apps for free by checking Amazon’s Free App of the Day each day (weekends, too!), but they can’t all be winners. Sometimes the app is a type that doesn’t appeal to you, sometimes the reviews are lukewarm to negative, and sometimes you’ll find the FAotD is something you already own.
On those days, head on over to the Top 100 Free Apps listings on Amazon and choose your own Free App of the Day! Note that most of them are ad-supported or include in-app purchasing, which is how the developers are being compensated instead of charging users to buy the app, so if you’re averse to either of those things be sure to read the app descriptions carefully and check the reviews to ensure you won’t find anything objectionable in the apps. Here are just a few of the top-rated apps from the current list:

Hit Climb Racing (5/5 stars, guidance suggested)
One of the most addictive and entertaining physics based driving game ever made for mobiles! And it’s free!

Face the challenges of unique hill climbing environments with many different cars. Gain bonuses from daring tricks and collect coins to upgrade your car and reach even higher distances.
