Thinking about throwing yourself back on that couch this weekend and hunting for some quality iOS apps on the App Store? As always, we have your weekend dose of paid apps gone free covered right here.

With iOS 8, Apple, for the first time, allowed third-party keyboards on its platform that worked system-wide, not just within specific apps. In the new days of this freedom, we saw almost all major players from the Android ecosystem pop up on the iTunes App Store as well, and then (naturally) the trend dwindled down. Today, however, we see somewhat of a revival, with Disney releasing its 'Disney Gif' custom keyboard for iPhone and iPad, which allows sharing of Disney and Pixar themed GIFs directly from the keyboard into the app of your choice.

As part of Apple's continuing trend of selecting one commercial third-party app to make free as the 'App of the Week,' the Cupertino giant has given the honor to 'Halftone 2 - Comic Book Creator' this week. The app has been on the App Store for quite some time and has already been named as one of the best apps of 2013 by Apple as well as being featured regularly as an App Store Editor's Choice. Apple also featured the title as a showcase app to show off the screen of the iPhone 6 in Apple Retail Stores. If that level of love for the app wasn't enough, it's now sitting pride of place on the front page of the App Store.
