Best Free iPhone Apps

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

We dug through dozens and dozens of discounted iOS apps on Monday morning to come up with the best of the bunch. At the end of our search, we were left with six premium iPhone and iPad apps that are all on sale for free for a limited time. You’ll find them all listed below, so be sure to scroll through them before these deals are done. One in particular is a $3 app that can go a long way to stop spam calls, so definitely grab it while it’s free!

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app 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 anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.
