Has your iPhone or iPad been feeling a bit stale lately? Instead of getting upset about it, why not fill it up with some hot new apps? And if you’re going to fill it up with new apps, why not make them premium apps that are all on sale for free right now? Thursday’s list is below and you’ll find even more options in yesterday’s post if you hurry.

MUST SEE: This fully assembled iPhone 7 probably shows us exactly what the finished phone looks like

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.
