We’re big supporters of app developers and we believe people should be happy to pay the price of a cup of coffee for an app they might use all the time. That said, if a developer decides to give something away for free, you should jump at the chance to download it. Today’s roundup of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free includes seven premium apps that are all free downloads — but only for a limited time, so grab them while you 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 these apps will remain free. The 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. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Subscribe to our feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published, and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.
