We haven’t had as much time as we would like lately to put these roundups together, so we’ve spent some extra time on today’s list to make amends. You’ll find 10 different paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free in Friday’s roundup, making this our biggest list in quite some time. These deals won’t last long though, so definitely download anything that looks appealing as soon as 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 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 in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.

The player’s unhitting box is very small. It is displayed as a white rectangle in the center of the ship. And when a lot of bullets appear, the game-speed gets slowdown. Therefor you can keep surviving more than meets the eye.
Four different difficulties. From beginner to expert. The novice difficulty has some benefits from the start. Extra options and extra lives. If you are beginner fun of shooter, the novice difficulty is a good choice.
In the settings, you can adjust the size of game view and you can also adjust the touch sensitivity for slide control. If it is hard to see the screen because of your finger, or you have incongruous with the slide control, then try to adjust them.

Kiwake – Extreme Alarm Clock
Normally $7.99.
Tired of oversleeping? If you really want to stop hitting the snooze button, then Kiwake is the best solution for you! This smart alarm is specifically designed to transform you into an early-bird, and it’s actually easier than you think. You just didn’t have the right tools before.
Featured in over 80 countries, including the United States and United Kingdom.
Kiwake has been seen in Buzzfeed, AppAdvice, Bustle, BGR, iPhoneHacks and more.
So, are you ready to become a morning bird?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Let’s face it: regular alarms don’t work very well. You just hit the snooze button as many times as you could, then rush for the rest of your morning trying not to be late. What you really need is a coach that will help you build a strong morning routine, and that’s exactly what Kiwake is designed for.Kiwake will drive you out of bed whether you want it or not! Like any good coach, it will give you a hard time if you don’t follow the rules, but also respect you when you actually do. The more you stick to your routine, the less annoying it becomes.
HOW IT WORKS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Kiwake’s mission is to walk you through a brief but complete wake-up process to make sure that you are fully awake.This process can be divided into three main categories you need to wake up every morning:
1. Your Body, by standing up and leaving your bed.
2. Your Brain, by stimulating it and keeping it away from excuses you could find to go back to sleep.
3. Your Motivation, by reading your goals to start your day inspired.
Kiwake will request a proof that you went through each of those categories:
■ Body wake-up: take a picture of an object far from your bed to prove you left it. This is an object that you already saved when you have set the alarm. You could take advantage of this by getting close to the shower or immediately starting your coffee maker.
■ Brain wake-up: complete a quick mini-game that requires your full attention. By focusing on the game, your brain will not be able to manipulate you with those famous excuses to go back to bed. You know, the ones like “Meh… a shower will only take me one minute” or “I can prepare and pack my lunch in 30 sec”.
■ Motivation wake-up: read and check all your main goals, because there is no better way to jumpstart your day than giving yourself a motivation boost!

Real NYC
Normally $0.99.
All the gritty details of our horrible desperate existence in New York City are now available as a sticker pack. We’ve studied the gutters hard for this one, capturing real photos of everything from discarded chicken bones to our fair lady, the Statue of Liberty.
Snobby uptown consumers will marvel at how this sticker pack was made using 100% original photographs of real, authentic items from the streets of New York. That hot dog? Yeah, we bought that on the corner of Broadway and Spring. That bag of dog shit? Real too, made fresh in Cobble Hill. That roll of cash? Mostly full of one’s.
The worst part of this app is it’s low price tag, it’s way too cheap. When’s the last time you bought anything in this city for less than a dollar? It should cost way more. Also, we promise that if we sell enough of these, we’ll make one for San Francisco that costs twice as much.
