August is a bittersweet month for many Americans. Sure, it’s still summer and you’re still enjoying the weather and the time off if you’re in school. But the arrival of August is also a harsh reminder that the summer break is winding down and before you know it you’ll be back in school, or back to dealing with school for your kids if you have children. Maybe this list of paid iOS apps on sale for free for a limited time will help take your mind off things.

MUST SEE: This leaked photo sure makes it look like the iPhone 7 will come in a new color
