Best Free iPhone Apps

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

You’ve hit the mother lode today, Apple fans, because we’ve got 12 paid iPhone and iPad apps for you to check out that have all been made available for free for a limited time. It’s our biggest list of the week so far, and it’s probably also our best. And if you’re looking for even more freebies, take a look at all the remaining sales in yesterday’s post.

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.
