Welcome to the start of another busy week, which is made worse by the fact that the last stretch of warm weather in many areas came to an abrupt end over the weekend. The good news is we’ve got just what you need to cheer you up: A new post packed full of paid iPhone and iPad apps that are currently on sale for free.

DON’T MISS: Insane new iPhone 8 design that no one saw coming may have just been revealed

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.

But beware of the ultimate boss, Papa Ninja, who rides a Giant Panda… the two combined will take all of your expertise to overcome. So, what are you waiting for? Help Jack zap the Ninjas and beat the evil Papa Ninja, it would be rude not to.
