It’s hump day and that can only mean one thing: our biggest list of the week of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. We’ve crammed 15 solid apps into today’s list, which should be more than enough to keep you busy. If for some reason you want even more though, there are still several free downloads to be found in yesterday’s post.

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.

A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES

Walking outdoors. Anchor Pointer allows you to save the location of places where no man has gone before, even where no detailed maps exist.

AUTOMATIC NIGHT MODE

Human eyes don’t see well when it’s dark around you. Blinding them with bright screen of the phone makes it hard to see the road ahead. Instead of making you decrease the brightness of the screen – we’ve created night mode in Anchor Pointer, which automatically switches to dark theme at night time.

ATTENTION: Apple Watch users keep in mind that because of Apple Watch limitation we don’t able to show compass with direction and distance on the Apple Watch. Such feature can be added to the app only when digital compass will be added to the Apple Watch.

Compass doesn’t work? Please make sure that your GPS calibration turned on in the iOS Settings → Privacy → Location Services → System Services → Compass calibration.

Dear car owners, please keep in mind that because of GPS technology limitation you don’t able to find your car on underground parking. Please use the app only in an outdoor parking lot.
