At long last, the election is finally over. It might not have turned out the way many of us expected it to, but Wednesday has arrived regardless and it’s time for us all to wake up and continue to be productive members of society. But if you need a distraction to help get you through the day, we don’t blame you, which is why we’ve gathered a collection of 10 free apps for your iPhone and iPad.

DON’T MISS: Next year’s iPhone 8 is virtually guaranteed to have an OLED screen

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.

AP US Government & Politics Exam Prep

Normally $19.99.

Optimize your study time for the AP U.S. Government & Politics exam with Brainscape!

Brainscape’s 600+ dynamic flashcards, covering the foundations of American government to modern foreign policy, present a highly effective, efficient, and fun way to study for one of the most demanding AP courses you will take. We have ensured that we cover all the fundamental material from the College Board’s AP U.S. Government topical outline, so you know you are covering all your bases! What’s more, this app is more than just a set of facts and definitions; we also present the context and significance of the events and decisions we describe.

Whether you want help with your civics homework and quizzes, or want to do a comprehensive review for the AP exam, these flashcards will put the most important facts and concepts about the U.S. government at your fingertips. Study by specific topic, or with a randomized mix; search for specific terms and trials; check your stats to track your progress — it’s up to you!

Research shows that quizzing yourself is one of the best ways to study. Brainscape’s adaptive platform lets you immediately diagnose weak areas (which will repeat more frequently as you study) and avoid over-studying already strong areas (which will be sorted out for you). It also tracks your overall success throughout. This won’t completely replace your books — but it will help you memorize the most important information you need to know for the AP exam.

Brainscape has embarked on setting the highest standard for AP prep in the mobile community. The idea is to mesh the complete College Board outline of material with clear explanations in a streamlined adaptive flashcard software, so you can study as efficiently as possible. Good luck!
