The hits keep on coming! After three terrific lists of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free so far this week, we’re back with another one that includes some fantastic finds you’ll want to check out immediately. Included among the eight apps we have for you on Thursday is a $15 to-do app that’s easily one of the best in the category for the iPhone and Apple Watch, a very cool music sequencer, a great minimalistic weather app, and a nifty app that helps colorblind people understand colors.

There are still a few paid iOS apps on sale for free in yesterday’s post, so hurry back to that one before the deals are done!

DON’T MISS: This is one of the coolest iPhone tricks we’ve seen, and you had no idea it existed

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.

== Flexible brush settings ==
Levitagram uses a soft brush bigger than your fingertip without sacrificing performance, so that you can see what you are doing to make a precise edit. Levitagram is the only app support flexible brush shape settings to help you make pixel perfect levitation photos.

Levitagram lets you create professional looking levitation photos in a snap! All you need is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. No professional cameras, computer or Photoshop skills required.
