Best Free iPhone Apps

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

Today we’ve got a fantastic list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for you to check out, and the star of the show isn’t like most of the apps we feature in this series. In fact, it’s not even technically “on sale” at all. The app in question is the popular iOS automation app Workflow, which was just acquired by Apple and made free forever. The rest of the sales in today’s list are only temporary though, so be sure to check them out as soon as you can.

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.

Workflow

Used to be $2.99.
