We covered a bunch of great paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free in yesterday’s post and just in case you missed any, more than half of them were still free at the time of this writing. Today we’ve got a fresh new crop for you to check out, and you’ll find 10 solid premium apps that are all free downloads for a limited time.

MUST READ: Have Apple’s rivals finally stopped copying the iPhone?

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 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, you will be charged.
