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

After ending last week with a killer list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free, we knew we had to begin this week on the right foot. As such, we’ve put together a solid list of 10 paid iOS apps that are all free downloads for a limited time. You’ll find nifty photography apps, a top-rated game, some productivity apps you won’t want to miss, and more. As always though, these sales could end at any time.

HUGE LEAK: This is our first look at a real iPhone 7

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.
