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

Another day, another roundup of nifty paid iPhone and iPad apps you can download for free for a limited time. We’ve got seven different apps and games for you to check out on Thursday, and we had to dig through hundreds of not-so-great apps to find them. Hurry up and start downloading because these deals could end at any time.

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.
