Paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free are a dime a dozen, but weeding through all the iOS apps that go on sale each day is a huge pain. Of course, that’s where we come in. BGR scours the App Store for the best app sales each day, and today we’ve come up with a solid list of eight paid iPhone and iPad apps that are all on sale for free right now.

Of course, if eight aren’t enough, you can always head back to yesterday’s post where you’ll find a few more apps that are still on sale.

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.
