This has been a great week for paid iPhone and iPad apps that have gone on sale for free, but we have a few more gems to share with you before the week is done. Thursday’s list included seven great paid iOS apps that were made available for free for a limited time (a few of them are still free if you hurry), but today we have nine apps regularly worth a combined $36 and each and every one is free for a short time.
DON’T MISS: This free app is a fantastic alternative to Google’s game-changing email app ‘Inbox’
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 are free at the time this post is published. 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.

Fuel My Run
Normally $1.99, currently free.
Runners that fuel properly can improve their half marathon and marathon race times by up to 20%.
Fuel My Run is the first running app that lets you track your workouts, while helping you take in enough fuel to finish your run strong.
Most half marathon and marathon runners slow down significantly during the last half of the race. More often than not, an inadequate fueling strategy is the cause. Developing a fueling strategy and practicing it well before your race is vital.
Fuel My Run ensures runners have enough energy to finish strong, maintain pace and never hit the wall again.
Perfectly suited for runners training for a half marathon, marathon, triathlon or ultra race.
FEATURES
– Track the distance, time and pace of your run with GPS.
– Eliminate guess work by getting fuel reminders at specific times or distances.
– All fueling plans for each workout are saved and ready to adjust or use again on future runs.
– Simulate the fueling plan for your upcoming race.
– Sync and share your workouts with your RunKeeper or MapMyRun accounts.
– Share your progress with friends on Twitter and Facebook.
– Free fueling plans for half marathon and marathons distances.
– Know exactly how many carbohydrates you consumed on each run.WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Jason Fitzgerald, Running Coach
“Fuel My Run answers the two most important questions about fueling for long races: how much and when? Just choose your fuel and let the app do the rest – say goodbye to hitting the wall in your next race!”Brock Skywalker Armstrong, Marathon & Triathlon Coach
“The old adage “failure to plan is a plan to fail” is a good one for any marathon training program and it applies to fueling as well. The app Fuel My Run has given me the ability to create, test and tweak my fueling plan so I have all the guess work eliminated before race day.”Matt Johnson, Running Coach, Runner Academy
“It can be all too easy to forget when to fuel when training. This app removes that potential mistake and lets you really dial in on what works for you. By being able to track how you fuel and feel during your training you can line up on race day confident and ready to execute your plan having actually ran it beforehand and knowing how your body feels at various points. I’ll be recommending this app to the runners I coach.”TIPS
Fueling is highly individual. What works for other runners, may not work for you. Try lots of different types of energy gels, chews and sports drinks and see what works best. Fuel My Run will help you through this trial phase to find the optimum fuel types and fuel quantities to finish your race strong. If you don’t know where to start, Fuel My Run offers free sample fueling plans for the half marathon and marathon.

No more paper maps and forgotten locations.
Just imagine, that you don’t have to carry a paper map during your trip anymore, but still you can put all the spots together. Your special places. That lovely caffe, that elegant balcony on the Baroque building close to the fountain, that quiet small sweetshop, where the best marzipan candies can be found, and also that crossroad, where you can take the best selfie ever. Basically, any place, which you think about “I should get back there some day”. This phrase comes across our minds all the time, but usually we easily forget about it the next second.
But now you can easily create your own lists of spots, add any place you want, categorize it and organize. Nothing will be lost from now!And just imagine, that you can observe the whole range of your favourite locations at the same time. Not one by one, but alltogether on the one map. How often did you want to add one, three, twenty pins on the map? Now it is possible with a single tap.
And, well, don’t forget to share your unique discoveries with your friends!

Remember that the game’s Dynamic On-Screen Tutorial System will always guide you on the right course of action, while prolonged use of the Weapons/Afterburner will cause a temporary overload. Also, note that your Jet Fighter is equipped with automatic repair systems which will activate shortly after you stop taking damage.
Completing missions, earning XP and leveling-up your Sweep-Wing Fighter to Level 5 will unlock new playable aircraft for FREE. You may also skip the RPG grind and instantly level-up via the use of optional In-App Purchases. Each In-App Purchase can also be Restored, thus allowing you to instantly unlock playable fighter jets on multiple iOS devices.
