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.

READ OUR USER REVIEWS

“After just one week of listening to this app, my “sweet tooth” was gone and I was able to get my stress eating under control. This app literally helped me turn a corner in what has been a life-long struggle.”

“This app has helped me control my appetite in a way that nothing else ever has. My ability to control my appetite is virtually effortless. Food is not the center of my world anymore. It’s very liberating.”

“I was really skeptical and I normally don’t do reviews unless an app was horrible but seriously…wow. I started using this app 2 weeks ago and while I know your suppose to shoot for no more than 2lbs a week….I’ve lost 12lbs. I do this one in conjunction with their exercise one as well as another weight loss hypnosis app & an intuitive eating hypnosis. and this one is my favorite. I throw it on mid-day when I start craving sweets. I have not had processed sugar for a week and when I did break down for a brownie it tasted chemically. I’m in love with hypnosis now. I have 40lbs to go till my goal but I’m finally feeling ready for it!!!!”

“At first I didn’t think it would work, but after listening to it just once I began to pick healthier choices and wasn’t hungry all the time. I now use this app every morning to start my day right with the right mind set and the wake up feature is like my own cup-o-coffee.”

“So glad I downloaded this app!! I never thought this would work but boy I was wrong!! I use it every night to help me fall asleep and I’ve lost 40lbs!!”

Speedafari

Speedafari

Normally $1.99.

Stuck in a slow connection? Speed up Safari with Speedafari!

“Kinda crazy, but it works.” – Federico Viticci, Macstories.net

Speedafari blocks unnecessary parts of websites from loading. By removing part of the experience (ads, tracking scripts, external fonts, videos, etc.), you gain speed, battery, and data.

Speedafari is always just a swipe away, in the notification center. Just tap once, and — boom — Safari speeds up. No need to switch browser.

Choose between three different aggressiveness levels — low, medium or high. The higher the aggressiveness, the more will be blocked, and the faster the page will load. Note that some website functions may not work at all with the medium and high levels.

You’re out in the woods? Now don’t worry about slow internet anymore!

“Speedafari is a blocker that strips away everything it can so you can still load pages even when your connection is crap.” – Thorin Klosowski, Lifehacker.com

Oh, and don’t worry about privacy! Speedafari has no access at all as to what web pages you visit.

Brought to you thanks to the power of iOS 9.

The Little Fox

The Little Fox

Normally $0.99.

The Little Fox is an alternative perspective on the world-renowned ‘fairy tale for adults’, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, where the Fox takes the place of the protagonist – a charming little character with a big heart.

======

Every once in a while, a game manages to stand out with having the right mix of everything. The Little Fox has a lot of the right stuff – charm, eye candy, storyline, platforming, original and challenging mechanics, an impossibly cute protagonist.
-Phonearena

In beautifully serene levels that feature relaxing, atmospheric music, the fox seems to be trying to travel faster than the speed of light.
-Pocketgamer

You get a game that is both casual-friendly but also a real game.
-Toucharcade

======

In search of the Little Prince, you’ll have to:

run through thirteen fairytale planets, passing icy cliffs and volcano craters, finding your way through a bog and a dark cave
take care of the abandoned Rose by collecting tears literally by the drop
inspire a multitude of familiar characters to change their lives

Beauty

Taking the best examples of minimalist low-poly graphics as inspiration, we’ve created thirteen colorful and unique three-dimensional planets for you, along with an animated comic that tells the tale of the main characters.

The picturesque landscapes of Eternal Winter and the Forgotten Asteroid, the Sweltering Canyon and the Secret Cave, all of these are sure to stand out in your memory and make you want to set a screenshot of the game as your background.

Gameplay

The Little Fox is the first runner of its type on a hexagonal field.

Our ace in the hole is innovative gameplay that is easy to learn, but hard to master. Just two taps (on the left side of the screen to turn left, on the right to turn right) provides full freedom for moving through the game world.

Rest assured, no level will give in on your first attempt. But each successfully completed level will satisfy your sense of perfectionism.

Music

It is advised to play The Little Fox with headphones. A selection of unique tracks, each written with the specifics of each setting in mind, provides complete immersion in the game’s atmosphere.

Zen Sketch

Zen Sketch

Normally $1.99.

Zen Sketch is a cross between a note-taking and a painting app. We wanted to give people an app with a balance between power and simplicity: A place that could stay out of the way and let them think, but also contained an environment with the ability to add serious detail to their work. And so Zen Sketch was born. The app goes beyond regular ink handwriting apps by using an industry standard drawing/painting engine, but still organizes your work in a logical fashion like any good note-taking app.

Use Zen Sketch to create powerful notes or paintings. All your work can easily be exported out of the app as images or PDFs, and shared in just about every way imaginable. The app has no learning curve, and lets you work in a streamlined and clean interface designed with the latest technology in mind.

We hope you like the Zen Sketch. And if you do, be sure to check out some of the other great Zen apps we’ve made.
