Mondays are hit or miss when it comes to paid iPhone and iPad apps that are made available for free for a limited time. Developers often go crazy over the weekend and put dozens or even hundreds of poorly made apps on sale, so it can be difficult to pick out the diamonds in all that rough.
Luckily, we’re here to do the dirty work for you, and today we have eight great iOS apps that are typically worth a combined $28, but they’re all free downloads for a limited time if you hurry.
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.

Over There 2
Normally $1.99, currently free.
+++ Stunning offline location sharing which keeps your privacy! +++
Over There offers you a new way of sharing your location with every mobile phone in the world. You don’t even need an internet connection. It only requires a GPS signal and cellular coverage. This works completely offline, therefore the app won’t send your location to any server.
But how does it work?
We use a smart algorithm that allows us to convert your location to a really small link like “www.ovt.re/UlMVQgtg_0wg”.
This link can be sent as a text message to any mobile phone around the globe. The algorithms are designed to completely run offline and the link uses a space of only 23 characters. Thus, this leaves enough space to add some additional text, like holiday greetings for example.Over There also provides a great web-service for the recipient on mobile devices. Every smartphone owner can use this link to easily look up your location using Google Maps.
Another advantage is that if you want to share your location via Facebook, WhatsApp etc., you don’t have to allow them location permissions anymore – just use the In-App dialog. Over There 2 will not collect any kind of data.
Finally, all this comes alive on a visually stunning user interface. It provides you with detailed GPS information, including altitude and speed.
This is still not all! Here is an overview of all features we have built in:
+ Share your location with only 23 chars in your text message
+ Share your location via Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp or email
+ Automatic detection of the local time zone, and time (works offline)
+ Add a tiny link to your photos
+ Copy short links and GPS information to the clipboard and use it wherever you like
+ View the address of your current location
+ Add addresses to contacts of your address book
+ Live GPS information displayed in cockpit-style
+ Your speed in km/h, mph and knots visualized with a blurred interface
+ Your actual altitude in feet or meters
+ The strength of your GPS signal in percent
+ A mini offline map with on-screen GPS informationWe plan to add more features in future versions, so stay tuned and have fun!

Quantum Legacy
Normally $19.99, currently free.
Full HD Retina support along with smooth controls and non-stop action await you in this action-packed on-rails arcade-style 3D space shooter: EXCLUSIVELY on the iOS! Team up with Colonel Seth Blair and his legendary drop-ship Omnithias as you attempt to bring stability to a volatile region of Quantum Space. Featuring:
• Unique re-innovation of the on-rails genre with simple and intuitive controls. Just tap your enemies to engage them, or tilt to steer your ship manually. Once you try this action-oriented arcade-style control scheme, you may never look at another 3D space shooter the same way again!
• Bright and awe-inspiring visuals with highly polished game play aimed at a broad audience. Anyone and everyone can master the game in mere minutes!
• RPG Style Progression System allows you to level-up your ship while unlocking new shields and weapons.
• Intense 3D Battles, complete with Gigantic Bosses await you in EVERY level.
• Adaptive AI: provides a challenge for experienced players while showing mercy to the newcomers.
• Dynamically Adjusting HD Graphics: specifically tailored for all iOS devices.
• No Loading between missions and no downtime during game play.
• Over 40 minutes of original music was created to accompany your Quantum Legacy experience.
• Action-Oriented Story: told through the com-sat radio of your starship, with full voice-overs for the game’s array of quirky characters.
• Dynamic Difficulty: provides for a near endless replay value, as the enemies constantly adapt to your style of game play each time you replay an existing mission.>> Game Play Basics:
Steer your ship manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the “Autopilot”. To maximize damage, it is best to be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right “Weapons/Fire” button. Holding the left “Shield” button will allow you to deflect the enemy projectiles. Prolonged use of the Weapons/Shields will cause a temporary overload. Note that it is NOT possible to fire your weapons while Shields are active.
When engaged in battle, your ship will automatically level-up in an RPG-like fashion allowing you to unlock new shields and weapons.
Successfully completing each mission will unlock new game levels. Replaying any of the missions without failing will provide you with an added degree of difficulty. For an even greater endless challenge, try your luck at the survival-style “Gauntlet” simulation levels, which will be automatically unlocked upon successful completion of all story driven missions.
>> In-Game Options Menu allows you to adjust:
Tilt Controls: “Normal” (default), “Reversed”, or “Off”: disables the tilt controls altogether in favor of tapping your enemies.
Button Location: “Bottom” (default on iPhone/iPod-Touch), “Middle” (default on iPad) and “Top”: aimed at iPad users who wish to avoid tilting in favor of tap controls.
Background: “Moving” (default): compensates the game’s background as you tilt the screen, or “Fixed”: old-school non-moving background. If you experience discomfort with the game’s tilting motion, the “Fixed” background setting may be preferred. (Also useful when AirPlay Mirroring to a TV, or using the Digital AV Adapter)
