We’re just a week away from the end of October now, which means Halloween is swiftly approaching. If you have already spent way too much money on costumes for yourself and your loved ones, and you’re looking to save a little cash, we have just the thing: a bunch of free apps from the iOS 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.
