Have you been waiting for a cool app or game to go on sale before you pick it up? The App Store has already started giving Christmas discounts that you will be able to pick up for a week, and this time around it is mostly top quality apps that are on sale. We bring the best deals across platforms each week, and this week really looks like a good week thanks to the many popular paid apps and games that have either gone free or are on sale. Because of the Christmas deals on Apple's store, the list this week doesn't have too much from other platforms, but we expect that to change by next week as more people start offering holiday sales. Read on to find out what you should be picking up this week:

Tweetbot 3

Tweetbot is probably the best Twitter app on the App Store. Tweetbot has everything that Twitter's official app lacks and strips all the annoyances off the official app too.
