This has been a terrific week for paid iPhone and iPad apps that have gone on sale for free. We’ve shared great apps with you all week long, and there are even a few gems from yesterday’s list that are still on sale for free if you hurry. Today, we’ve got one last list for you to enjoy this week and it features eight iPhone and iPad apps that normally each cost money to buy, but they’re all free for a limited time.

DON’T MISS: Google Maps was just updated – here are 5 new features you have to check out

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 “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

EXAMPLES OF USAGE

Walking outdoors. Anchor Pointer allows you to save the location of places where no man has gone before, even where no detailed maps exist. For example, you can save the coordinates of the most remote location in a beautiful forest, snow-covered mountain peaks with a magnificent view, an oasis in the desert or your favorite place in the national park.

Use Anchor Pointer at sea! If you like fishing or sailing, you can save your location and come back later to the exact same point. Anchor Pointer stores the current latitude, longitude and altitude.

Anchor Pointer is also convenient in the city: save the location of favorite cafes, restaurants, hot dog shop, favorite places in parks or friends homes. Your imagination is the limit!
