Best Free iPhone Apps

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

We shared a great list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free on Monday, and several of the apps in that post can still be downloaded for free if you hurry. Today’s roundup features eight fresh apps though, so there are plenty more for you to choose from.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any 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 anyway, you will be charged by Apple.

The Photo Cookbook is like a private cooking course in your own kitchen with an experienced cook who clarifies the preparation. Beautiful photography, elegantly displayed in high resolution on your iPad, illustrates every step.

***As seen on Apple’s iPad TV ads!***

Every recipe starts with a photograph of all the ingredients you’ll use in the process. This way and in one glance, you can control if you’ve got all the ingredients you need for preparing the dish.

The item “Baking” is also available with the same content as a separate app: “The Photo Cookbook – Baking”.

Each topic is divided into four chapters, within which the recipes are displayed in an overview. Every chapter scrolls vertically, so that you can play with your choices and visually decide which recipe you really want to prepare.

Features:
– basic version with 84 recipes and over 700 high-resolution photos
– expandable with In-App-Purchase to 240 recipes and 2,000 photos

Sometimes a gust seems far away to the right, other times it’s whipping just overhead. It’s cool that you can often hear what the wind is carrying, too.” — Dave Caolo, TUAW
