Last week was a fantastic one for paid iPhone and iPad apps that were dropped to free on sale for a limited time, and this week is already shaping up to be even better. To start things off, we have found eight awesome paid iOS apps that would normally cost a combined $55, but each and every one of them is completely free if you hurry.

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 “free,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Bubble Browser for Evernote
Normally $4.99.
◆◆◆ Evernote Devcup DESIGN Category Winner ◆◆◆
◆◆◆ Top 10 Productivity app! ◆◆◆Bubble Browser is a clean, visual (and fun!) way to explore your Evernote memories.
We all know that information is irrelevant without the context. Our experiments with new ways of discovering information brought us to the idea of visual, near-organic browsing experience.By presenting your data in an aesthetic, more natural and approachable way, Bubble Browser addresses a challenge of dealing with constantly increasing amounts of information.
Tags, notebooks and dates are presented as colorful bubbles showing what’s most important in every given context. You can see how often particular tag was used at a glance and easily navigate back through the history of your notes. In short – the bigger the bubble is, the more stuff is inside.
“While classic notes exploration is like looking into the grocery store through a mail slot to see what you need, Bubble Browser brings you right into the shopping mall to see what’s on the shelf.” commented one of the app’s early adopters.
Bubble Browser for iPad is a completely new app based on our experience gained from our work on the Mac version.
