It’s hump day so we’re finally half way home, and it’s time to celebrate with some great paid iPhone and iPad apps that are currently on sale for free. Today’s list is our biggest of the week, and it includes some real gems that are well made and worth every penny their developers are charging. But even though they’re worth buying, you can get them all for free right now.

And don’t forget to check yesterday’s list of app sales for several nifty apps that are still free downloads today.

DON’T MISS: With just two new iPhone models, Apple catapults past Samsung in smartphone sales

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.

Eureka

Normally $1.99.

Eureka is the World’s Simplest & Fastest Checklist with ‘Notification Center’.
*( Full support for iOS8, iPhone6, and iPhone 6 Plus + Designed for iPhone & iPad )

“This simple productivity app puts your ideas and tasks into Notification Center. Eureka is perfect for anyone who needs quick access to their thoughts” _ Appadvice

The great thing about Eureka is that it can be used by just about anyone. It doesn’t even have to replace your current go-to productivity app. You can use it in addition to it. Basically, whenever you have something you want to remember pop into your head, launch Eureka and record it. That idea or task will then be instantly transferred to Notification Center where you can always see it. Ideas and tasks within Notification Center can be marked off as complete and even moved to the top with a right to left swipe. That’s really all there is to it.

This allows you to use the pull down notification center for memo and to-do items.
You can access it instantly without exiting another app and even when the screen is locked.

Register the most urgent things to do and your thoughts.
And easily check with one swipe gesture, no matter on which screen.
It’s like a memo board on the refrigerator or front of desk.

Eureka can be a new alternative check list.
Lightening idea doesn’t seem to last for a long time.
Don’t Lose Your Thoughts!! Eureka helps you!
