BGR has become the go-to spot for tech news over the past 10 years, and now we’re also the authority on paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. Dozens upon dozens of apps go on sale in the iOS App Store each day, and it’s quite time consuming to go through them all and separate the deals from the duds. That’s why we do it for you — and we just put together our biggest list of the week for hump day.
UP NEXT: I really tried, but there’s just no way I can ditch my iPhone for a Galaxy S7
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.
