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 post on paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free featured 12 solid premium apps on sale, and a number of them are still free downloads if you hurry back to that post and check them out. We’ve got 10 fresh apps on sale for you today though, and they’re spread across several categories so there should be something for everyone.

UP NEXT: The petty iPhone problem that’s driving me insane

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.

Earmuffs

Normally $0.99.

Your kids are only a couple clicks away from a very awkward conversation that neither of your may be ready for yet. Protect them with Earmuffs!!

Earmuffs is an adult content blocker designed to protect kids on the Internet. Once installed, it prevents them from accessing adult content using iOS9s new content blocking ability.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Earmuffs works seamlessly with Safari’s content blocking advancements in iOS9. A database of sites, phrases and words are evaluated before Safari loads a webpage. If the site matches the database, Safari will block the site from loading.

CUSTOMIZATION
Every family is different and only they can decide what content is appropriate for their household. You can customize Earmuffs to match your family’s values through the use of a whitelist and blacklist, putting parents completely in control of what their children see online. Easily add to your custom lists while browsing using Safari extensions. For more information about best practices for keeping devices kid-friendly, visit http://earmuffs.work.

PRIVACY AND DATA SHARING POLICY
Earmuffs does not collect any or share any information about your or your child. Earmuffs accesses the Internet to update the content blocker database. This is done in the background so the database is always up to date. BabyBinks, developer of Earmuffs, does not share any user information from websites, applications or emails with third-parties.
