As always, BGR has combed through dozens of apps that are currently on sale for free to bring you the best of the bunch. And today, that means a list of eight nifty apps that are normally worth a combined $39. If you hurry, however, they can all be downloaded without paying a dime.

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.

Province

A 5-star rated iPad game that’s normally $4.99 for free? Don’t mind if we do…

Two families vie for power as you settle a new provincial town. Build camps and banks, smithies and harbors and control growth as your town develops!

Province is a game in which you must strategically manage your resources and workers to build, complete goals, and score the most victory points to win! The game features a communal worker pool representing the available workers in your town. Players move their workers to generate resources (Labor and Coin) that are used to build the various Structures, which in turn effect resource generation — but your opponent can also move the workers, leaving you without the resources you need!

Province for the iPad features two-player local multiplayer (same device), as well as a single player mode where you play against a computer opponent.

CoSurf

There are a million Safari skins for the iPad out there, so it’s nice to find a web browser that’s actually pretty innovative.

Introducing CoSurf for iPad, the new split-screen browser for you and your web surfing partner!

Whether planning a vacation with your significant other, researching a common topic with a friend, or just surfing the web over two cups of coffee, CoSurf brings you and those around you closer together. Instead of getting lost into two different screens, this app helps web surfing to become more socially interactive.

Two people can surf the web simultaneously on a single device! Just set the device down on a flat surface, and you can both begin surfing the web on your respective side of the screen.

— Optional Full-Screen Control —
If one person finds an interesting webpage you want to look at together, you can take control of the entire screen by simply lifting the device up off the table.

— Orientation Lock —
When working together at an angle, you can tap the center lock button to lock the orientation so either side does not take full-screen control.

— Trading Browsers —
Rotate the center toolbar with two fingers to exchange the two web browsers.

— Favorites —
Each person can access their own independent favorites list on their side.

This app is a bargain at $1.99, but free is even better.

Benjamin Jet Fighters

Last but not least, yet another $19.99 Benjamin game that’s now free.

Arcade Jet Fighter action awaits you as you stop the most daring money heists imaginable while piloting one of 3 unique upgradeable Jet Fighter aircraft during 20 intense and highly cinematic action packed missions!

*** NOTICE: Benjamin Jet Fighters features Standard-Definition support and LOW QUALITY GRAPHICS specifically designed for older iOS devices, which include: iPod Touch 3, iPod Touch 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Featuring:

• Arcade-Style Jet Fighter Combat experience, with sights, sounds and non-stop action that will take your breath away!
• Enjoy Simple and Intuitive Controls: tilt your iOS device left/right to steer your Jet Fighter around city obstacles while skillfully avoiding enemy missiles.
• Alternatively, for a casual ON-RAILS experience: forgo tilting and simply tap your enemies to engage the “Autopilot” while controlling your Afterburner and Weapons with a smooth 2-button interface.
• 20 action-oriented campaign missions (including 2 bonus Endless Gauntlet levels) offer over 4 hours of action-packed arcade-style Jet Fighter game play.
• RPG Style Progression System allows you to FREELY acquire, pilot and level-up 3 unique Jet Fighters while unlocking 18 different types of Afterburner and Weapon upgrades.
• Face more than 30 different types of enemies, including: modern jets, attack helicopters and GIGANTIC money-packed transport aircraft!
• Game Center support: with 7 Leaderboards and 18 elusive Achievements that demand an additional 10+ hours of game play.
• Optional In-App Purchases allow you to skip the RPG grind and instantly acquire any of the playable fighter jets. In addition, you can Restore your existing purchases to unlock content on multiple iOS devices.
• Over 30 minutes of memorable original music will dynamically accompany your Jet Fighter combat experience.
• Team up with friendly AI wingmen in the later stages of the game, and watch as your enemies fall before your elite Jet Fighter squadron.
• Adaptive AI and Randomized Enemies with Dynamic Difficulty: provide for a near endless replay value, as your opponents constantly change and adapt to your style of game play each time you engage a new or existing mission.

>> Game Play Basics:

Steer your Jet Fighter manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the ON-RAILS “Autopilot”. NOTE that you must be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right “Weapons/Fire” button. Holding the left “Afterburner” button will allow you to avoid enemy missiles as well as steer around various city hazards. 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 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 Jet Fighters on multiple iOS devices.
