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

We were so busy with Google I/O and huge iPhone 8 exclusives that we didn’t get a chance to do our daily post on paid iPhone and iPad apps that went on sale for free. Don’t worry, we won’t make the same mistake twice. We’ve got 10 premium apps for you to check out on Thursday, and they’re all on sale right now for a limited time. Grab them while they’re still free.

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.
