We had a great roundup of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free yesterday, and there are actually still a few freebies to be found in that post. Did you miss it? If so, definitely go back and grab them. Then check out our fresh roundup of iOS apps on sale for Thursday, which contains seven premium apps that can all be downloaded for free right now.
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. Subscribe to our feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published, and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.
