Just as you can never have too many free games on iOS, it seems you can never have too many apps telling you about those free games either.
The latest to try our patience in that area is Free-App Hero, which comes from start up Herosoft.
Panning for gold
It offers to filter out bad free games so you don't have to.
"If you wanted to try every temporarily free app every day, it'd take you about an hour just to find them across all the countless promo sites and trackers, another three hours to download them all, and another five or six hours to boot each one up for a minute or two to see what it was like," it helpfully warns.
"Your iPhone's memory would be bursting at the seams in three days, and since nobody's actually got a spare 10 hours every day to look at apps, you end up missing half of the best freebies."
Hence its 'experienced professional games reviewers' reckon they can sort out the dross from the diamonds.
No ads. Cold cash
The promised result is a list of "proper full games, not Lites or ad-strewn freemium versions. In fact, we never feature apps with in-game ads, because we hate them as much as you do".
Free-App Hero also has a permanent list featuring over 100 of the best free games, and backs each selection with a mini review.
Aside from missing out a huge and growing part of the app market by ignoring freemium games, the only downside is - again, presumably due to its hatred of ads - you have to buy the app, which costs $1.99, 2.69 or £1.19. [iTunes link]
Good luck with that one guys.
