Published Dec 13th, 2019 2:31PM EST

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

It’s been a while since our last daily roundup of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for a limited time. We’re hoping to starting running them more consistently again now that all the Black Friday and Cyber Week chaos is behind us. Thanks for all of your emails letting us know how much you enjoy this series!

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.

Radio Wave Sync

Normally $0.99.

I have a Casio G-Series radio watch, but it is always unable to receive radio waves from time signal station, so I started to write an application to solve this problem.

After some research, I finally wrote this application, which can perfectly simulate the timing signal and happily calibrate the time.

Usage method:
1. Adjust the volume of iPhone / iPad to the maximum.
2. Switch the radio controlled watch / clock to manual wave receiving mode.
3. Click the “start” button.
4. Place the watch / clock near the iPhone / iPad speakers.
5. The synchronization process generally takes 3-10 minutes, please wait patiently.

Matters needing attention:
1. Please try to use the software in a quiet environment to avoid signal interference.
2. The volume of the mobile phone must be adjusted to the maximum. It’s too small and the effect is not good.

Characteristic:
1. Supports simulation of all types of Time Wave Signal:
* China BPC
* USA WWVB
* Japan JJY40 / JJY60
* Germany DCF77
* British MSF
2. The unique “Beast Mode” provides higher frequency simulation signals and faster sync.
