Best Free iPhone Apps

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

BGR is always the best place to find nifty paid iPhone and iPad apps that go on sale for free, and we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch for you yet again on Thursday. We dug through more than 200 iOS apps that were made free for a limited time on Thursday morning, and we’ve come up with the six best ones. Each of these sales could end at any time though, so grab anything that looks appealing while you still can.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app 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 anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.
