We were a bit too busy yesterday to put together our daily list of the best paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free, and readers weren’t happy. We got dozens of emails from people looking for their free app fix, so we dug extra deep to make today’s list extra special. You’ll find some fantastic apps in today’s post from start to finish but as always, these sales could end at any time so be sure to check them out right away.

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.
