Awesome paid iPhone apps you can now download for free

This has been a huge week for iPhone and iPad app sales. BGR has picked through hundreds of paid apps gone free and shared more than $300 worth of solid iOS apps that were all on sale for free. In fact, you can still snag a few from yesterday’s post if you hurry. Today, we have a fresh batch of eight paid apps normally worth a combined $41, but they can all be downloaded free of charge for a limited time.

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.

TasteForFree

Do you like wine? Do you live in California, or do you plan to visit anytime soon? This app is sorely in need of an update, but it can still help.

TasteForFree is a directory of free wine tastings throughout the state of California.

With the recent growth and commercialization of California’s wine industry, many wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms are charging increasing tasting fees while providing poor service.

Luckily, there are still over 180 wineries throughout the state that offer complimentary tastings to visitors. TasteForFree can be used with or without a network connection to find free tastings at wineries near your device’s location or by a standard zip code/city search.

The app provides winery information, average bottle price, number of wines to sample for free, average winery rating based on Yelp! and TripAdvisor reviews, tasting room hours, directions to the tasting room, and any electronic coupon that may be needed for the complimentary tasting.

This app does NOT feature any wineries that charge a tasting fee and credit it toward a purchase, require a special credit card or wine club membership, or require a printed-out coupon for tasting.

Note that mapping, directions, and visiting winery websites will not work without a data or wifi connection.

TasteForFree includes free tastings from wineries in Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa, Lake County, Lodi, Livermore, Santa Cruz, the Central Valley, Solano County, Monterey County, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbera.

Remember to drink responsibly and always have a designated driver when touring the California wine regions.

Also, remember that the wineries featured in TasteForFree are businesses and are providing a complimentary service to visitors. If you find a wine you like, buy a bottle!
