Welcome to what is unquestionably our best list so far this week of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. We’ve got 12 fresh new apps for you today that have all gone on sale for free for a limited time, and they span a very wide range of genres. This list also includes a few apps that we really love, including what is easily one of the most innovative apps ever. There’s even an app that’s perfect for anyone who loves burgers — and who doesn’t love burgers?
You’ll also find a few additional freebies in yesterday’s post so be sure to check those apps out as well.
DON’T MISS: Making sense of Apple now that everything has changed
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.
