We have shared well over $100 worth of paid iPhone and iPad apps this week that were made available for free for a limited time, but the week isn’t over just yet. While there have definitely been a few gems in our earlier installments — and some of them are still free if you hurry — we wanted to finish the week particularly strong. We’ve combed through the App Store today to bring you seven solid paid iOS apps that are all free downloads right now, and there are a few very well-reviewed and highly rated apps to be had.

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.
