iPad

If you're an iOS fan, there's a good chance that you've either bought an iPhone 6, are planning to buy an iPhone 6, or are indeed saving your pennies for the imminent launch of the next-generation iPads due later this month. The point here being, of course, that spare change for apps and games might be a little hard to come by at this moment in time, and if you want to save a few bucks this weekend, we've got an assortment of six paid apps gone free.

Earlier on the week, Popcorn Time, the so-called "Netflix of Torrents," finally made its way to iOS, although given Apple's rules on what can and what cannot pass through the App Store's moderation process, its developers could only target the jailbreak community. Many iOS 7 users have held back on updating to iOS 8 in a move to preserve their jailbreaks, and so could take advantage of Popcorn Time's introduction, but for the majority now running on the all-new iOS 8, the haven of free movies is out of bounds. There are, however, alternatives out there, and the one we're featuring here today has the advantage of not requiring a jailbreak, so if you're running stock software, this one may be for you.
