Best Free iPhone Apps

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

We hope that by now you’re done downloading all of the paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free we pointed out in yesterday’s post, but if not you can always head back there and grab the remaining freebies. Today we’re back with 10 more apps that are free downloads right now — but they won’t all be for very long!

MUST READ: Apple’s upcoming iPhones might change the game more than you can even imagine

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.
