Best Free iPhone Apps and Top Free iPad Applications

When it comes to finding the best free iPhone apps, you can count on the editors at AppCraver. We’re experts at rooting through the App Store to come up with the best free iPad apps and the most fantastic iPhone applications you can get without prying open your wallet. I wouldn’t say we’re a stingy bunch. After all, we’ve been known to shell out ten bucks for a great app, but we do love a bargain! And, that’s what you’ll find here, the best bargain-priced iPhone applications in the App Store — it doesn’t get much cheaper than free.

Still, we have to have standards. So, to be listed on this page and join the ranks as one of the Best Free Apps for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad an app must score 7/10 or better in our review process. (For those of you who are counting, that’s one point less than we require of paid apps vying for the top spots on our Editor’s Picks page.) Whether free or paid, all iPhone and iPad apps are judged by the same criteria including cost, graphics and user interface, originality, audio or soundtrack, stability and function as well as it’s ability to meet or exceed expectations for an app in the same genre.

Below is a comprehensive list of the best free iPhone apps from the AppCraver Hall of Fame — some of these no-cost applications are also available for the iPad, so be sure to click through to the App Store to find out, especially for some of the more, erm, “veteran” apps. We encourage you to explore the rest of our Apps Guides listed on the left where you’ll find the best iOS apps by category.

Who says the best apps in life aren’t free? Not us! Happy downloading!
