We’ve come to the end of another long week, but you can’t escape into the weekend until you’ve checked out one last app roundup. We’ve got 10 great paid iPhone and iPad apps for you to look at today, and they’re of course all on sale for free for a limited time. These sales could be over at any time though, so grab them while you can.

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 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.
