Has everyone recovered from Apple Event Day? Are you all OK? Actually, Monday’s event wasn’t one of the more exciting ones we’ve seen in recent years, though there were definitely some solid new products announced. Plus Apple released iOS 9.3, which is definitely a big upgrade. But if you feel let down, console yourself with today’s batch of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free, and grab a few extra from yesterday’s post, too.

MUST SEE: All the best new iPhone and iPad features in iOS 9.3

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

== More Details ==

See Goal Status at a Glance:

● The main view of Persistence is the goal list making it simple to interact with each goal.

● On this list Persistence informs you when you are on and off target, and helps create a desire to complete all your goals for the day and to get ahead for tomorrow.

● Make progress to get rid of the red (off target) and blue (normal daily effort) vertical bars and stay on target.

● Sort the list by title, target, last entered progress date, by hand, or group into categories.

Easy goal progress entry:

● Tap the goal from the main view and record your progress amount, notes, and time. Or make a quick amount update right from the list.

● Make multiple entries per day.

● It’s easy to go back and update values or add notes later.

Different Types of Goal Tracking:

● For some goals, you have an end target number (like reading a book) and date by when you want to accomplish the goal.

● For some goals, you just want to do a daily amount (and there is no end date)

● For some goals, you just want to track daily progress, but you have no daily goal amount to reach.

● For all goals, enter your progress during the day and Persistence will show you how far you’ve come and how much you still need to do to be on target (if the target is applicable).

Journal Your Progress:

● Enter notes each time you make progress to journal your daily activities for review later.

● Review a daily log of all activities, or view a log for an individual goal.

Track All Your Goal Activities:

▪ exercising
▪ practicing a musical instrument
▪ learning a foreign language
▪ meditating
▪ writing in your journal
▪ doing homework
▪ walking the dog

Edit or Change Progress Entries:

Statistical Page with Bar Graphs:

Reminders:

● Set local reminder notifications to be reminded at a certain time that more work needs to be done towards a goal.
