Welcome to our final roundup of 2017 that covers paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. We’ve got seven great options for you on Friday, and they should hopefully carry you through the weekend until Monday, when we’ll of course be serving up our first app roundup of 2018. Happy New Year!

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.
