It’s a gross, rainy Tuesday here in New York City, which means there’s no better time to jump on the App Store and download a bunch of newly free apps to mess with. Below, we have a collection of nine great apps that are on sale for free for a limited time, including Don’t Run With a Plasma Sword, which is awesome.
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their 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, you will be charged.
