Things to Consider / Advice Free vs. Premium: 

Most "free" apps give you the core features for free and then charge for more advanced features. Assess for yourself whether the free part meets your needs. Permissions & Privacy: Always check what permissions an app asks for. Free apps often monetise via ads or data — make sure you’re comfortable. An article reminds, “Choose apps which will safeguard your data and avoid suspicious permissions.” Techy Wive Building Habits: It is one thing to install an app, quite another to use it. Begin with small, achievable habits, such as one note a day or one lesson a day. Storage & data use: some apps, like video editors and photo editors, can take up great amounts of storage/data, as well as require a lot from your phone/device. Availability: Make sure the app is available (on Android/iOS) and that the region is supported.
