We have something to tell you and we really hope you’re sitting down: it’s already the fourth quarter. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the new year, and now the new year is almost over. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free to be enjoyed before 2016 rolls around.

Today, we’ve got 10 premium apps for you that are all on sale for free for a limited time — and definitely check out yesterday’s post as well, where you’ll find a few more freebies that haven’t yet expired.

MUST READ: iPhone 6s review

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.

deGeo Camera

Normally $0.99.

deGeo is a camera app that doesn’t track, save or record your location.

Did you know that GPS location data is stored within each photo you take? “Geotags” are hidden data points embedded in each photo and can be viewed by anyone.

Protect your privacy and share with peace of mind knowing that your photos will not reveal your location or personal habits.

deGeo Camera features an intuitive interface with gesture based controls for ease of use. Email your last photo with a simple swipe, browse your album of deGeo’d photos, tweet out the latest snap, or turn the flash on or off with a flick of the finger, it’s easy with deGeo Camera.

Feature Highlights:

– Quick launch time and super intuitive interface
– Never stores location or geotags with your photos
– Quickly Email or share your last photo with a swipe
– Change camera functions (flash, device, torch) with a swipe
