You’re running out of time in June to fill your iPhones and iPads with paid iOS apps on sale for free, but we’re doing our best to help you finish the month with some awesome new applications on your device. We shared 10 premium apps on sale for free yesterday, and some of them are still freebies if you head back to that post and grab them ASAP. Today, we’ve got eight fresh new apps for you to check out.
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.
