The App Store is loaded with apps and games, and while there are plenty of gems, actually weedling them out can often be a trying task. Still, that's what we're here for, and not only do we have a selection of half a dozen great apps, but they've also ditched their regular prices and just gone absolutely free. So if you want to stock up on a few freebies, check out the list below.
Developers of paid apps drop the prices on an almost daily basis, and even though it's fairly difficult to keep hold of each and every one, we're always on the lookout for some of the better deals knocking around. Here, we run through another four paid apps dropped to the wondrous zero-dollar price tag, and if your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is looking a little bereft of apps and games, here's your perfect opportunity to reload.
Not so long ago, it became apparent that Apple would be rolling out a Family Sharing feature for its customers, allowing families and groups of people to share certain apps even if they're operating under different Apple IDs. It makes a great deal of practical sense, as well as saving money on the part of the consumer, and although it won't apply to every single app residing over at the Cupertino's Store, Apple has divulged a few more details on the subject.
We're back with another list of apps gone free for those in ownership of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Just in time for the weekend ahead, we have a nice, varied selection including one or two great games, so be sure to join us after the break for the low-down.
Forrest Gump, which stars Hollywood legend Tom Hanks, is one of those movies that almost everybody has seen. But while we collectively appreciate the heart-warming storyline, it doesn't strike us as the kind of flick that should be turned into a mobile game. Sure, most new movies are now arriving with a supplementary title - usually by Gameloft - to enhance the overall experience and sense of excitement, but Forrest Gump? Really?
We always like to tell you about great apps, especially when they're on sale for a limited time. Apple has recently made a slew of productivity apps available at a reduced rate as part of its Productivity sale. More information, including which apps, along with their old and new prices can be found right here.
The best sketching / drawing apps for iPhone and iPad, have just gone free for the first time ever at the iTunes App Store, and if you're the kind to use your digital device for the purpose of channeling creativity, then be sure to check out the details and download link provided below.
There seems to be a real glut of paid-for apps going free of late, and that's no bad thing as far as we're concerned. Here we have a range of new titles to add to that list, and some are great examples of titles that are normally a bargain even at their usual price. Make them free, and they really are apps that you should be trying out.
The touch-based environment has risen to prominence over the past few years, with many skeptics and naysayers having been won over in the process. As well as the increase in the number of smartphones, tablets and other touch-enabled gadgets sold every year, we've also seen efforts to bring gestures to our regular computers and notebooks. Some have focused on air gestures, allowing users to swipe using simple hand signals, while others, like the $75 offering seen below, have sought to turn everyday surfaces into touch panels.
To get one untethered jailbreak per major iOS release is a blessing in itself, but even though the job of the jailbreaking scene gets more difficult with each year that passes by, the fact that Evad3rs and Pangu both dropped untethered jailbreaks for iOS 7 was nothing short of heroic. Evad3rs' Evasi0n tool took care of iOS 7.0.x, and when this was eventually plugged, the self-titled tool from the Pangu team took care of iOS 7.1.x. Now, both are up for a Pwnie award in the ‘Best Privilege Escalation Bug’ category, a gathering that highlights the work of those in the field of security research, and although we've no personal affinity to one over the other, we'd certainly love to see a jailbreak team yield such acclaim.
