We dug through hundreds upon hundreds of discounted iPhone and iPad apps on Thursday to come up with the best of the bunch that are on sale for free for a limited time. The result is the collection of eight apps below, and you’ll also find a few more remaining freebies in yesterday’s roundup if you missed it.
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 or use that feed to create an email alert so you’ll be notified as soon as these posts are published and avoid missing the sales we cover.

Reviews:
• I’m a nutrition coach and I tell all of my clients to get this app if they need food ideas. It is a fantastic resource to expand your pallet and to make fat loss taste good. Combine the workouts and recipe sections and you’ve essentially got yourself a coach. Great app. In my opinion it is under priced for the value that you get!
• This app is absolutely perfect for anyone!! From either a total beginner just wanting to get started right through to someone looking to get in serious shape. I upgraded from Gymster lite as soon as it was released. As a bikini competitor Gymster recipes give me all I need for a productive off season and a lot of variety and colour to my meals. The macros are all broken down which saves me a huge amount of time. I also use this app to track my workouts and have them pre loaded in. The random selection tool is also great for those days when you just aren’t feeling it!! Can’t recommend enough
• I’m finishing my year of personal training at my gym and this is the best app for someone like me to learn and keep track of my workouts. Thanks to Bert Kreischer for the heads up on his podcast.
• I’ve used a few gym apps in the past, but this is undoubtedly the best! The reason for that is the ‘random’ selection for workouts-input body part(s) and the amount of exercises, and away you go! Gives me a fresh workout every time!

GhostTalk
Normally $0.99.
For our Ghost Hunter friends this tool will allow you to use your Apple device to listen for EVPs. The curated library of around 2300 words will help you to see what you can’t hear.
The estimated accuracy of the data is indicated by the size and shade of the text that is returned. Brighter, larger text indicates a higher confidence level in the accuracy of the returned message.
We also show you a live reading of the electromagnetic field around the phone, measured in gauss. When speech is detected the electromagnetic field is logged with the best guess translation.
Touch the screen to pause detection, this will help you to avoid catching your own conversations, resume detection by lifting your finger.
Don’t forget to scroll, your entire session may continue beyond the screen, so scroll down to see the latest results.
The microphone in Apple’s devices is very good and you may find that excess environmental noise has an effect on the accuracy of the text returned. What you see on the screen is the best guess for what was said.
You can also change languages in the device settings under GhostTalk. GhostTalk currently supports English, French, Chinese, German and Spanish.
Join our group chat to discuss ghostly things with other users and upload your photos to discuss their scare factor.
If things get a little spooky we recommend turning on some lights and taking a break from the app for a while. :)
