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

Everyone’s attention is obviously focused on Apple’s big event on Wednesday, but no one is getting their hands on the new iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, or iPhone Xr until next week. What you can get your hands on right now, however, are all the hot paid iPhone and iPad apps we found that are on sale for free today. We’ve rounded up the six best apps on sale today, and you’ll find them all listed below.

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.
