We started the week of strong on Monday with eight solid paid iPhone and iPad apps that were on sale for free for a limited time — and a couple of them are still free downloads if you hurry. Now, on Tuesday, we’re back with another seven iOS apps that would normally cost a combined $37 to download, but each and every one is free for a limited time.

DON’T MISS: Hands on with the most surprising phone of the year, Motorola’s Droid Turbo

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.

LoginBox Pro

Normally $6.99, currently free.

This is the premium version of LoginBox, with no limits on websites and no ads. We encourage you to try the free version first. You are guaranteed to love it!

LoginBox will log you in to any website with a single tap. It is the safest and fastest way to sign in to password-protected websites.

LoginBox combines a password manager and a browser. With its perfect security it is one of the most useful utilities for your iPad/iPhone. From the moment you download it, you will never need to remember your passwords or frequently used website addresses ever again.

You can use LoginBox to automatically log in to:

■ Your bank account, PayPal, LinkedIn, eBay, Amazon

•• Our Customers Say ••

“This app is the most useful app on my iPhone.” (Harry M.)

“Just wanted to say this app is amazing! Will be sharing and getting this app the recognition it deserves…” (Shaun H.)

“LoginBox is awesome! Thank you for developing this app!. It saves me a lot of time.” (Katty G.)
LoginBox Features:
——————–
■ Type less and login much faster!
■ Automatic login to websites. No need to memorize and re-type URLs, usernames or passwords
■ Hardware-accelerated AES encryption and Passcode * Auto-Lock keep your data protected
■ Beautiful looking dashboard with thumbnails to easily preview all stored websites
■ Built-in ultra light browser, with full screen view and a draggable toolbar to provide the best screen real estate
■ Adding websites is made easy by using instant search

How is LoginBox different from other browsers or password keeper applications? Chrome, Dolphin, Opera Mini, Puffin and others may save passwords, but LoginBox takes an extra step and saves you from manually going through the login form. It is smart enough to automatically take you to your destination page with a single tap. No other Password Manager Application does that. Not 1Password, not LastPass and neither does RoboForm.

We have tested LoginBox with hundreds of sites and we keep on updating its auto-login algorithm to support new login approaches utilized in websites. If you have encountered a website that is not yet supported in LoginBox, please use the “Contact Us” option in the settings screen and provide the website address. We also welcome any feedback, suggestions or bug reports you may have and we promise to respond promptly.

 DUNGEONy

Normally $2.99, currently free.

New Update 2.0.1 introduces playable character, The Wizard!

“DUNGEONy™ is an arcade, puzzle-like dungeon crawler with random roguelike elements.”

*** Featured on the App Store under ‘Best New Games’ ***

“A deceptively tactical roguelike RPG that offers an immediate yet considered dungeon-crawling experience” – Pocket Gamer

The game features Perma Death, RPG elements (level up your attack + stamina), Turn-based attacks, Random enemy spawns and loot drops, Multiple themed dungeons, Random ‘Special’ levels with unique elements, shops, BOMBS! and more.

There are 9 playable characters, each with their own difficulty; over 30 different enemies; and 4 themes of dungeon: The Castle, The Jungle, The Sewers, and The Temple. At the end of 32 levels, you square off against a formidable teleporting boss.

Don’t be surprised if you die a lot figuring out what to do; retro games are light on hand-holding, so you’ll find little tutorialization here.

DUNGEONy™ draws great re-play value from a mixture of character difficulty and random gameplay.

DUNGEONy™ was developed by a single individual – with music from Gas1312.

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 Jet 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.
