Best Free iPhone Apps

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

We shared a great list of seven paid iPhone and iPad apps with you on Wednesday, and they were all free downloads for a limited time. In fact, a few of them are still free downloads if you hurry. Now, we’re back with an even bigger list of limited-time app sales, and it includes nine apps that are regularly worth a combined $36.

If you act fast, however, you can get them all without paying a dime.

DON’T MISS: This incredible iPhone 8 concept is the most beautiful smartphone you’ve ever seen

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “free,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
