17 Popular Websites Where to Find Free Software
We all love a good application either if is for Windows or Mac, a good software application can make you laugh, make your job easier or it can help you bring some more money into your pocket. Of course having a good application is great, but when it is available for free everything gets even better.
I know that you love free apps too and that’s why I decided to bring you some of the most popular websites where you can find free software all day long.
1. Softpedia
One of the favorite sources of software download for most internet users and for good reason since Softpedia offers the most detailed explanations and reviews for applications that are offered for download. Softpedia also offers the latest news for many of the top applications that emerge with useful information about updates.
The team behind the site works very hard in order to be one step ahead and bringing the latest software news. That’s why their website slogan is “Updated one minute ago“.
2. Filehippo
FileHippo is a very nice website that looks pretty professional too and thinks about ergonomics. Even the first page welcomes you with the most popular options for software and applications from different categories along with many great reviews. They know how to prioritize every piece of content on their site and that’s why they are pretty popular when it comes to free software downloads.
3. CNet Download
The Download website was at first at www.download.com, but was acquired by the CNET and transformed in what is today, the greatest source of freeware on the web. The website hosts millions of free applications for most popular operating systems available including Windows, MAC OS, Linux etc. Also, at CNET are some of the best reviewers on the web making great comments and observations on every aspect you should know about the application you download.
4. ZDNet Download
ZDNet is quite an old technology website celebrating over 20 years in the web industry. The website has a huge success with their grea tech reviews and free application repository. The website started as an initiative of Ziff Davis, but it was bought by CNet Networks which is the current holder of the domain.
5. Download 3000
Just like FileHippo, Download3000 has a very user friendly graphic interface which makes it pretty easy for everyone to navigate and find whatever piece of software you need.
6. All My Apps
Personally I was impressed by the rapidity of this website growth. The website is very sophisticated and has a great navigation offering packages of software based on categories such as Web, Security, Utility Software and of course Multimedia ones and Games. They place great importance on the information they share so they are very detailed.
7. Brother Soft
One great download manager and software informer. Even if we talk about Games (which are over 20000 PC games reviewed in their database btw) or we talk about Windows or Mac software, Brothersoft is always there to provide best reviews and stats on updates.
8. Portable Apps
Great app packages and also a place where you can find useful information about most popular applications available.
9. Gear Download
10. Download HR
11. Soft32
12. Freeware Files
13. File Cluster
14. GetJar
15. Major Geeks
16. 4Shared
4Shared is one of the most popular file sharing websites on the web, but thanks to an advanced way of sharing files people tend to use it as a freeware download spot. The websites provides a download page which includes an antivirus so that you will be able to download just genuine and virus free software applications.
17. FindMySoft
A pretty new website in the field, but with tons of applications available and lots of drivers too. The website also reviews every piece of software with great focus and interest so that you will learn what, where and most importantly why to or not to download some applications.
