BGR readers, you know what time it is… it’s time for a nice big helping of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. Today’s list doesn’t have as many apps as yesterday’s did — some of the ones on yesterday’s list are still free, by the way — but it’s got 11 solid premium iOS apps that can all be downloaded right now without paying a cent.
MUST SEE: 5 secret features hiding inside your iPhone
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.
