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

A new week means a new selection of free apps that you’d typically have to pay for. The choices were admittedly a bit limited this Monday, but I’m sure that some of you will find something of value below. And if not, you can always check out last Friday’s post and see if any of those apps are still free on the App Store.

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.
