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

How are you doing, bargain hunters? Did you survive Prime Day? If you follow the BGR Deals team you not only survived but thrived, and you undoubtedly got tons of new gear in the process. Each day we pick up where the Deals team leaves off by showing you the best paid iPhone and iPad apps that go on sale for free for a limited time, and we’ve got 10 options for you on today’s list.

MUST SEE: Look at this new leaked photo and tell me which phone is hotter than the iPhone 7

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.
