Happy iOS 8 day, Apple fans! What better way to treat yourself ahead of the inevitable stress involved with battling millions of other iPhone and iPad users for Apple’s bandwidth than by downloading a bunch of great paid apps without paying a cent. Today’s batch features seven nifty apps worth a combined $48, but they can all be had for free if you hurry. And as always, there are a few freebies left from Tuesday’s post as well.
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 are free at the time this post is published. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “free,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
1Password
These posts typically focus on limited-time sales but exceptions can always be made for exceptional apps… and 1password, which is moving from a paid model to a freemium model, is definitely an exceptional app.
