It's that time of week again where we trawl the App Store looking for bargain apps that have gone free so that you don't have to. It's a thankless task, but someone's got to do it because we like a bargain just as much as you do!

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
With the release of the first beta of iOS 9, Apple has given developers and those who just can't wait for a public beta a first look at what will be shipping around September time. While headline features such as a new Siri and iPad-based split-screen multitasking are getting all the plaudits, there are plenty of changes under the hood that won't even be noticed by the majority of people. But that does't mean that they aren't important.
Google today announced YouTube Gaming, a service that will go live later this year allowing gamers to watch and stream content both on mobile and the Web. More details on Big G's new service can be found right here.
Apple’s Mail app in iOS has never been particularly great at handling files, whether they be already attached to an email that was just received or are in need of being attached to an outgoing one.

With the smoke finally starting to clear after Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, developers are starting to get to grips with all the new APIs that have been announced as part of iOS 9. Set to be released later this year, iOS 9 will bring a host of new capabilities to iPhones and iPads, with one API about to make it easier for developers to add screen recording features to their apps.
When you set up a brand new iPhone or iPad, the excitement is usually enough to carry you through the entire setup process itself, but when the dust settles and you're left with your new toy, there tends to be one thing that catches your eye - first-party apps that you just don't want.

If you're one of the many, many people that have experienced some strange, weird and downright odd goings on with Macs, iOS devices and Apple TVs as far as networking goes, then you're going to be pleased to read that Apple should have a fix ready for you. The bad news? You're going to have to wait for iOS 9, OS X 10.10.4 and OS X 10.11 to release first.
If clues found in the latest beta release of iOS are anything to go by, Apple's iPhone may be in for one of its biggest camera overhauls yet. With Apple having released the first beta of iOS 9 to developers following its Worldwide Developers Conference opening keynote, Hamza Sood set about picking it apart. After a little digging he may have found the first references yet to a vastly improved front-facing camera, possibly set to arrive as part of this year's new iPhone release.
