Happy Friday, iPhone fans! We’ve rounded up eight terrific iPhone apps that would normally cost a total of $28 but are free to download right now if you act quickly. Check them all out below!

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.
