Welcome to the latest edition in our series on paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. Today, you’ll find nine new iOS apps that typically come at a cost, but each and every one is free today. And if nine just won’t cut it, be sure to check back in yesterday’s post, where you’ll find a few more paid apps that are still on sale for free.
MUST SEE: Every single major Black Friday 2015 ad we’ve seen so far
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.

Perch has a bunch of smart, polite features built-in to the software that emulate what it is like to work in the same office environment. Once connected, companies using Perch say that it has reduced their weekly conference calls, need for meetings and made them feel more in sync as a team.
Perch is super simple to set-up and works best on a dedicated iPad. Once installed, you can:
• Mount a Perch iPad on a wall in your offices to create an always-on video portal between spaces. A portal is like a virtual window into another office, room, or floor that enables you to see people in different locations, wave hello, and enjoy spontaneous conversations throughout the day.
• Even when you are not in a live connection, you can still see online portals and ambient activity in each location. Simply tap once on a portal to instantly communicate with your team members or pop-in to the office. No need to dial a number or schedule a call.
• Invite anyone to connect face-to-face using the Perch ShareLink. The Perch ShareLink is a unique URL that let’s anyone request access to your Portal via the web. Once a user clicks your ShareLink, you will receive a live request to connect on your Portal that you can accept or ignore. If you accept the request, you will instantly be connected live.
• On your iPhone – Download Perch on your iPhone and pop-in to company portals while traveling or on-the-go!

• Perch is polite. Perch always uses two-way video to ensure transparent communication between you and your co-workers. If you can see them, they can see you. In addition, Perch does not record video like a security system does so, you can trust your conversations are private.
• Perch is secure. You need to add and verify your work email address to discover and instantly connect with portals in your company network. But you can invite people to be a member of your organization or have a Perch account to connect with you on Perch. ShareLink’s can only be accessed via a WebRTC supported browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox.
