What a week it has been for paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. Our app sale posts didn’t quite generate as much buzz as Amazon’s Prime Day countdown deals, but it was close — and that certainly won’t stop us from marching on. Today’s list packs 10 premium apps that are on sale for free today, and it’s your last chance to snag some sweet free downloads ahead of the weekend.

MUST READ: iPhone 7: Seriously, this phone sounds boring to you?

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.

Next – Numbers

Normally $1.99.

Human brain is like a muscle that should be trained a lot to function properly. Surely, everyday life is a game in itself, but haven’t you ever wished you could find things a little faster or concentrate on one task for a little longer? This app is a great tool just for that. With just a few minutes a day practice you will be able to improve areas of brain activity without even noticing it. We have also built in personal stats so you can keep track of your progress.

“[For] those folks like myself who aren’t into RPGs or side-scrollers, but instead love a good brain-teaser.” – Steven Sande, TUAW

How to play:

Tap numbers in order, one by one, as fast as you can.

Choose one of two options:

Blitz – the game ends in 60 seconds, your result is how many numbers you’ve managed to find.
Zen – you have unlimited time to find all the numbers, your result is your time.
Implement your own strategy:

– Train reaction by speeding up decisions you made – try to decide without actual thinking about it.
– Train selective attention by looking at whole field searching for a number.
– Train memory by remembering where is the next number you need to tap.
– Train speed and concentration by trying to beat the records you made.

Sky Live

Normally $0.99.

***From the developers of the world famous Star Walk stargazing guide, Apple Design Award winner***

Sky Live now works with Apple Watch to alert you of upcoming astronomical events and tell you everything going on in the sky over your location at the moment.

“For stargazers, Sky Live is exactly the app we’ve always needed to find out just how much of the stars we can see at night and when we’ll be able to see our favourite constellations and planets.” by Nathan Snelgrove, AppStorm.net.

Stunning space photos combined with everything you need to know about stargazing conditions for your location tonight. Stargazer or not – this app will spark your curiosity.

The most accurate hourly conditions for stargazing are estimated on seven criteria and summarized in one Stargazing Index that will give you all the information you need to make your plans. The formula was developed by a mathematician on the Star Walk team and takes into account:

– Is there anything interesting in the sky tonight?
– Can I see Saturn?
– Is it going to be cloudy?
– Is it going to rain?
– Too much light?
– Is the Moon too bright for stargazing?

You will also get detailed reports on position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and other planets. The forecast is available for seven days ahead.

Reviews
“There’s always another app claiming to test your brain. This one delivered!
I am very pleased with it. I’ll be recommending this to all my friends. It’s a great way to get the juices of the mind flowing. I don’t know what the actual standard test consists of, however I can imagine it’s pretty similar to this apps knowledge base! In closing -Sending my thanks to the developers!”

“I can’t believe all these people bragging that they got IQ’s of 135 and 140. The average is 100. Obviously, most of you people are lying. 3% of people have an IQ of 125 and over. 0.39% have an IQ over 140. One things I say, is that, ‘the person who tells everyone how smart they are probably are not.’ My sister is is pretty smart and has an IQ of 128. She’s going to MIT. I think you people bragging about your iq probably aren’t the smartest. If you were really smart, you’d know everyone would just say your lying and not tell everyone your IQ. I think it’s a good, accurate app because my sister took a really long iq test and got the exact same score.”

“I made the official Mensa test online few years ago and got 138. This time I have 130 with the app. I think it’s accurate but it always depends on how you focus to the test and the time spent to answer the 39 questions. Good app overall.”

IQ Test like a Job Interview
