Top iPhone/iPad Free Apps

These free apps may be worth your while to download and try them. Be aware though that often free apps have in-app purchases and/or ads to help the developer stay in the business of app development. For example, the Netflix app is free but it won’t do you much good without a paid Netflix subscription.
