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

We’ve got another great roundup of paid iPhone and iPad apps for you to check out on Thursday, and there are definitely some freebies you’ll want to try. Examples include a stunning and secure email app, a wonderfully simple weather app, a great photography app that lets you make complex edits with ease, and more. Check them all out below, but remember that these are limited-time deals that could be over at any moment. In other words, hurry up!

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 features that require in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed or use that feed to create an email alert so you’ll be notified as soon as these posts are published and avoid missing any sales.
