Below, we've got the details of the apps, as well as their original prices and download links, so if you want to grab yourself a few bargains this weekend, be sure to join us after the leap!
We're back once again with a bunch of new bargains for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users - and it's not even the weekend yet! Below, you'll find a grand total of six great apps and games ready to be fired up on your devices, and given that these are limited-time offers, you're better off grabbing them as soon as possible before they return to their full prices!
Amazon has updated its Instant Video app for iOS users, and hopes to reel viewers in with a feature allowing the first episode of a TV show to be watched for free. The episode will be ad-supported, and at this time subsequent episodes will not be, but it does perhaps foresight a business model that Amazon may seek to explore in the future.
As you might already have learned by now, Chinese group Pangu just took the jailbreaking world by storm with the release of its new, untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. Although some tweaks should work right off the bat, others will require developer intervention before they can be deemed ready for prime time, and below, you'll find a list of currently-compatible tweaks for Pangu-jailbroken devices.
One area where Apple’s otherwise wonderful product, the iPhone, falls short in is the file management department. iOS natively does not offer any form of file management solution, owing to the restricted nature of the OS anyway. Then, from the several third-party solutions available over at the iTunes App Store, the good ones are mostly paid. And we’re not talking just $0.99 either; some capable file managers for iPhone and iPad can even touch a solid $10 before you can make them yours. There are free options available, but it’s a pain to find good ones out of the thousands available.
The most appealing thing about the iTunes App Store over all its competitors is the fact that a number of pretty great apps keep going completely free from time to time, something which is rather uncommon in almost every other platform. We mentioned this earlier as well, that it helps the developers take advantage of the sale boost to increase their app’s popularity and hopefully get better sales statistics when the price goes back to normal. However, on the flipside, for bargain hunters like us, that provides a wonderful opportunity to get great apps for the wonderful price of free. Since we’ve lately taken it upon us to share these great catches with you as well, continue past the break for our today’s pick of apps that are available to download absolutely free.
Never the ones to miss a good game and movie tie-in, Hasbro has released its latest iOS, Android game on the App Store and Play Store, respectively.
The App Store is great and all, and while we're happy to pay for good apps, you just can't beat the excellent price of FREE. That's why many developers take their paid-for apps and drop their price to absolutely nothing for a short time - it creates buzz and with a bit of luck, gets them to the top of the App Store charts. Then they just need that popularity to carry over once the price returns to normal. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
Adobe has been busy preparing for a series of updates and new additions for iOS over the past few months, and today, has launched Photoshop Mix for iPad in conjunction with the roll-out of a Lightroom app for iPhone users. Additionally, more than a dozen of Adobe's Creative Cloud desktop utilities have been updated, and all in all, this a pretty significant, even landmark occasion for the company.
Microsoft may finally have broadened its horizons and brought its famed Office suite to the likes of iOS and Android, but many lesser-known productivity apps have well and truly established themselves over the past few years. Today, one of the more poplar Office alternatives for iPhone and iPad just went completely free, and besides offering a jaw-dropping $14.99 saving, this may well be the only office-like tool you'll ever need to pick up from the iTunes Store.
