Today’s post covering paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free is probably our best one of the week. It includes nine apps in total, and they would normally cost you a combined $43 to buy. For a limited time, however, they’re all completely free.
Thursday’s list also spans a huge range of genres, and it includes an awesome tennis game that lets you use AirPlay and the iPhone’s motion sensors to play Wii-style tennis on a TV using your phone as a motion controller. So cool!
Yesterday’s post still has a few great freebies as well, so be sure to check that one out, too.
DON’T MISS: How Have You Survived This Long Without These 10 Brilliant Lifehacks?
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.
