This week is all about Mobile World Congress — and Samsung’s sleek new Galaxy S6 edge — but we can still take a quick break from the action to bring you news of some nice paid iPhone and iPad apps that are currently on sale for free for a limited time. Monday’s list had some great options on it, and some of them are still free if you head over to that post.

Today, we have eight fresh apps for you and they’re all free downloads for a limited time if you 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.
