The best things in life are free and sometimes this also applies to the digital world…
While free apps do not necessarily mean they are the best apps, people usually do not think twice about downloading something they don�t have to pay for. Digital marketers also know offering something for free is a good way to get customers.
So what are the best free iPad apps so far for 2013?

Okay, so not all of them are totally free, some of them are freemiums. In case you didn�t know, a freemium is a limited version of an app offered at no cost or a full-featured one available only for a limited time. Users who want full features or continued use have to pay, an excellent strategy by social media marketing.
