Apple intros “Free App of the Week”

The official App Store Twitter account sent out an interesting tweet earlier today. It invited everyone to go to the App Store to download Cut the Rope: Experiments for free and accompanied the announcement with the hash tag #FreeAppoftheWeek.

Interestingly, this is the first time we’ve seen a promotion such as this and it will be interesting to see if this is something that will continue each week going forward. The idea itself is revolutionary very much like the free App of the Day Amazon offers for its Android app store, but, hey, who doesn’t like getting paid apps for free?

If you check out Cut the Rope: Experiments from within the App Store, you can see an unnecessarily large “App of the Week” banner now accompanies it. Is that an indication that Apple is going to be sticking with the free App of the Week strategy? We have no idea. In the mean time, be sure you grab your free copy of Cut the Rope: Experiments while Apple’s footing the bill.
