Here are the 50 best free apps you can load onto your iPhone. gle171   Share1826   Tweet1020   Submit16   Share132   Pin It17266   EmailPrint Contents The 50 Best Free iPhone Apps of 2013 Apps 1-10 Apps 11-20 Apps 21-30 Apps 31-40 Apps 41-50 VIEW ALL PHOTOS IN GALLERY Apple's App Store is a veritable bazaar of freebies. Plenty of free iPhone apps are quite good, but a whole lot of them are duds. We at PCMag sort through hundreds of apps a year (there are probably thousands if you count those we check out for reference but don't actually review) looking for those special apps that work well or accomplish some feat you didn't even know you needed done, but also don't cost a dime. I'm definitely a fan of loading up my iPhone 5$714.99 at Amazon with the best selection of apps I can find, but if I can do so without it costing me a single cent, all the better. This list highlights 50 apps, across a number of genres, that we at PCMag think have shown outstanding performance, have been well received by a variety of technology users, and are truly "free." No gimmicks, no "membership required" or in-app purchase necessary. Free. Period. Missing from this list are apps and features that come pre-installed on the iPhone, although they are certainly not to be ignored. In particular, Apple's apps for iTunes, Music, and the App Store typically see a fair share of well-deserved usage, but I suppose you technically paid for them because you bought the phone, so they're not really free, are they? In any case, you don't need to choose to download them, so we're not listing them here. Games aren't heavily featured on this list, in part because a lot of the good ones aren't free—for more iPhone game recommendations, including paid apps, see "The 25 Best iPhone Games."
