There are always a ton of paid iPhone and iPad apps that go on sale for free each day, and we dig through them to find the best of the bunch. Today there were even more than normal, so we spent a little extra time sifting through them to come up with 10 options that we hope you like. You’ll find the full list below, and be sure to grab them while they’re still free.

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.
