Happy Friday! It’s time to get some more paid iPhone apps that are completely free to download for a limited time. Today we’ve scrounged up nine different apps that you can get on the App Store right now for absolutely nothing. Let’s check them out below.

DON’T MISS: This is one of the coolest iPhone tricks we’ve seen, and you had no idea it existed

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.

Rewind: One Last Chance

Normally $1.99

NOTE: Due to heavy graphics requirements, this app is NOT compatible with iPhone 4 and should not be purchased for iPhone 4.

From the award-winning studio Dreamkind, comes the story of the Rewind. Unravel the mysteries of the Rewind in this suspenseful narrative experience in which truth is on trial. When Commander Kole Zamon is captured by those he terrorized, he is put on trial for crimes against humanity. But the Commander’s crimes are not the only thing on trial. His love for his daughter is tested. His loyalties are challenged. His religious beliefs are called into question. Beneath the surface of this Rewind – this mysterious trial – lurks a world of intrigue, a world that needs to be uncovered. In an ever-unfolding plot that twists and turns, the path to truth must be found.

The Story
Rewind is a post-apocalyptic story of two races divided by a massive wall. This divide is maintained by more than just steel and stone. The Deks control the Abors by humiliating them. Children are taken from their parents. Genetic tests are performed. Citizens are sacrificed in the name of “progress.” Commander Zamon is not innocent. But, whether he is guilty is an entirely different question.

The Game
Rewind is a story-based game with unique word and number puzzles. Throughout the Rewind, you must explore rooms, while gathering information about Commander Zamon’s past. You decipher documents. Analyze texts. Decode encrypted words. Solve number patterns. Follow maps and gather clues leading to new information.

You travel through a story of two races torn apart by distrust and hatred. You must read and piece together their shared story, while unearthing the dignity that exists beyond the wall.
