I’ve always thought of Tuesday as the most pointless day of the week. It’s not the middle of the week, it’s not the beginning of the week, it’s not Friday and it’s not the day before Friday. It’s just kind of there. But no matter what you think of Tuesday, we’re about to make yours better with a bunch of paid apps gone free on the App Store.

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.
