Best Free iPhone Apps

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

Yesterday’s list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free was a fantastic one, and a few of those limited-time sales are still going, so be sure to check out Monday’s post and download them while you can. For Tuesday though, we have a fresh batch of nine apps that are normally all paid, but they’re free downloads right now if you hurry.

DON’T MISS: We Have Some Bad News About the iPhone 6s

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.
