Believe it or not, there are more iPhone apps out there than just Pokemon Go. We know, it’s difficult to believe, but it’s true. In fact, there are more than a million other apps out there. On Thursday’s list of paid iOS apps on sale for free you’ll find 10 apps that are not Pokemon Go, but they’re still pretty cool. You’ll also find a few more freebies in yesterday’s post if you head back there and check it out.

MUST WATCH: Two new videos get up close and personal with the iPhone 7 like never before

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.
