If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

WWDC 2017 had us all tied up on Monday, so we weren’t able to dig through all of yesterday’s iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free in order to pick out the best of the bunch. Don’t worry though, because we’re making up for it today with 10 fresh paid iOS apps that are all on sale for free for a limited time.

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.
