Best Free iPhone Apps

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

It’s the end of a long week, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a solid list of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. Today’s list offers nine premium apps all discounted to the low price of just $0, but these sales could be over soon so be sure to grab them now. There are also still a few freebies in Thursday’s post if you’re on the hunt for even more free apps.

MUST READ: After a month with the iPhone 6s, these are the things that surprise me

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.
