Christmas Eve isn’t until tomorrow but we’re celebrating early here at BGR with an awesome list of paid iPhone and iPad apps that are all available for free for a limited time. Yesterday’s list was great — and some are still free if you rush — but today’s list is even better, with nine apps that would normally cost more than $50 altogether.
If you hurry, however, you can get each and every one for free.
DON’T MISS: Wondering what to do with your old iPhone? Turn it into a home security system for free
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.
