Today’s list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free is our biggest one of the week, but size doesn’t always matter. Fortunately, Friday’s post also features some of the best apps of the week, and they’re only going to be on sale for free for a limited time.

Of course, if 10 apps isn’t enough for you today, head back to yesterday’s post, where you’ll find that several paid iOS apps are still on sale for free.

DON’T MISS: Here it comes: Get ready for the death of unlimited mobile data plans

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.
