Welcome to the latest installment in our series on paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. We’re starting off the new week with eight solid premium apps that are all free downloads for a limited time, and today’s list includes a few good games as well. We always get a lot of positive feedback about this post series, but some people have been asking for more games so we’ll do our best to find good ones for you more often.

MUST SEE: Every single major Black Friday 2015 ad we’ve seen so far

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.

InTune

Normally $0.99.

A TOP 10 MUSIC APP IN 20 COUNTRIES!
“A brilliantly simple game of precision hearing… This ingenious game puts your skill of pitch discernment to the test.” — Voice Council Magazine
“Anyone with an interest in sound will enjoy this.” — Evolver.fm

InTune has been a top-25 music app in more than 60 countries, including the USA (#11), Canada (#9), the UK (#9), China (#7), Australia (#6), and Portugal (#4).

You love music — but how good is your ear? Download the only app that tests and improves your pitch discrimination ability, an essential musical skill. Research studies show that repeated game play actually improves your skills!

• Test your ability to hear very close pitches
• Improve your ability to sing and play in tune
• Compete with your friends via Game Center
• Share your score and challenge your friends
• Play InTune again to improve your score – and your ear!

“There are a number of ear training apps available for the iPhone, but InTune has actual science to back it up.”
— Discchord

InTune is an outgrowth of 25 years of intonation research by Daniel Kazez, cellist and professor of music at Wittenberg University. The concept began as a method to test pitch discrimination, the ability to differentiate pitches that are close together. But then in a research study, Dr. Kazez discovered that students’ listening improved the more often they played – at triple the rate of those who did not. Download now and see if InTune works for you!

“Very easy to use…a fun and useful addition to your practice toolbox.” — Horn World
“Musical perfectionists and sound geeks beware: this game could become an obsession… It will absolutely help you develop a more discerning ear.” — Voice Council Magazine

We’re always improving InTune! Please send your comments and requests to dkazez@wittenberg.edu. Wondering what is a “good score”? It varies, based on music experience and age, but first-time users often score under 50% of a half step, or under 20% if they have music experience. With repeated use, scores improve substantially. Those with music experience may reach 1% of a half step, or even better.

Grandma was right.

Nobody really believed her. Not even you, her favorite grandchild.

But she was right. And more so than you could ever imagine.

The city before you, deep in the mist shrouded forest, can’t be found on any map. It shouldn’t even exist. Though it’s been asleep for a long time, you feel a mysterious power begin to awaken from the ruins around you.

Legend has it the civilization that built this place could somehow control the seasons. But nobody listens to legends.

Nobody except Grandma.

And she was right.

You look again at the artifact she gave you. Close to this lost city, it almost seems alive in your hand.

The city does exist. It’s real.

Could the secret magic, powerful enough to change the seasons, be real too?
