Rumors surrounding the iPhone 8 are swirling right now, but they’re still a bit hazy in some key areas. Should we expect an in-screen Touch ID sensor? Should we expect a dual-lens camera on every new iPhone model? We don’t have any answer for you yet on that front, but at least you can expect fresh new paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free each day. We’ve rounded up the best of the bunch, as we always do, and you’ll find them all laid out below.

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.
