Happy New Year, readers! Today might be the start of a brand new year, but some things never change. Among them is our quest to fill your phones with as many paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free as possible, thus ensuring an endless supply of fresh content for your phone that won’t break the bank. There are 11 iOS apps on sale in today’s list, and you’ll find a few more premium apps that are still free downloads in yesterday’s post.

MUST SEE: This site lets you see your best nine Instagram pics of 2015 – and anyone else’s best nine

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.

« How’s it Work? »

Just select the cities, regions, or even whole countries you want to download, and it will be available for offline use, complete with information on thousands of POIs (Points of Interest), travel guides and Wikipedia articles.

To do this we utilize community driven open data from a number of amazing projects: openstreetmap.org, naturalearthdata.com, wikivoyage.org, and wikipedia.org. We use some magik to compress and package it in a format optimized for mobile devices. Pocket Earth then renders its beautiful vector maps on your device using our OpenGL ES based MagikMap technology. So unlike other map apps which only download pre-rendered images (map tiles), our maps are only a fraction of the size, and you can better control the appearance of the map with different style sheets, data sources, and map layers.

To learn more about Pocket Earth or the community driven open data sources that we use, please visit our website.
Don’t forget this:
1. Using the GPS features of this app can significantly affect battery life. Only leave GPS enabled when you need to use it.
2. This app uses data from the amazing community driven open mapping project called openstreetmap.org! Coverage detail may vary by region, please visit our website to check the map detail for your regions of interest.
3. Does not currently support all asian texts on the map (Chinese, Japanese, etc).

Normally $1.99.

Please note that ***an Apple Watch is required*** to use the app to track time spent as the iOS app is used to set up and view scores and chart history.

TimeOfYourLife is a native Apple Watch multiple stopwatch/task tracker app that helps you to be more mindful of “time-wasting” activities in order to curb them. This self improvement app also tracks your productivity with the time spent on positive ones. A cumulative score is gathered based upon the amount of time you spent on your designated “positive” activity (such as learning, reading, working out) vs “negative” ones (e.g. surfing the web, wasting time).

There are 4 stopwatches that allow you to track individual activities. You can run them concurrently set to enable one to run at a time only.

Of course you can also use it as a regular stopwatch. Since the companion Apple Watch app is a native WatchOS app you can use it even if your iPhone is not within range. Complication support is included.
