With new iPhones right around the corner, it’s important that you do everything in your power to keep your current iPhone feeling fresh so you can fight the urge to upgrade unnecessarily. Of course, there’s no better way to do that than with some fresh new apps. We’ve got eight paid iPhone and iPad apps for you to check out on Monday, and they’re all on sale for free today. These sales could end at any moment though, so grab them for free while you still can.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any 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 anyway, you will be charged by Apple.
