If there’s a better way to spend a day off in a blizzard than downloading awesome paid iPhone and iPad apps for free, we don’t know what it is. As various parts of the East Coast continue to be pummeled by snow and wind on Tuesday, we’re doing our best to take your minds off of the storm with eight solid paid iOS apps that are currently completely free to download. As always though, these sales could be over at any time, so be sure to hurry.

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.

Weather Dial 2

Normally $1.99.

**Enhanced for iOS 8, includes Today Widgets**

“Weather Dial Perfects The Concept of the Minimal Weather App” – Bobby Solomon, The Fox is Black

Spend more time enjoying the weather…not watching it.

2 years older, 2 years wiser.

Weather Dial 2 is a complete redesign for iOS 7, with smarter data and richer features, including:

– Ability to add multiple locations
– 24 hour-by-hour forecast chart in landscape view
– 7-day forecast
– Current conditions
– Feels like temperature on long press
– Windage and humidity readout
– Sunrise & sunset time
– Fahrenheit & Celsius settings
– 24 or 12 hour settings
– Light & Dark modes for better visibility day or night
– Forecast.io weather data (the best we’ve found!)
– That same ol’ ‘carpe diem’ swag

Still building on Dieter Rams’ 10 principles of design, Weather Dial 2 is an even truer manifestation of our product philosophy; to get you as quickly as possible back into the moments that matter the most and not waste your time with unnecessarily complicated forecast readouts and weird gesture controls…that’s just selfish.

Weather Dial lets you spend more time enjoying the weather…not watching it.
