Following yesterday’s post — where you’ll find several freebies that are still available for download, mind you — we’re back with yet another installment in our series covering paid iPhone and iPad apps that go on sale for free. We’ve selected the best of the bunch for Tuesday, and they’re all laid out for you in the post below.

MUST WATCH: This is our best look yet at the iPhone 7

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.
