Apple’s third-party mobile app ecosystem is the best in the business, but that doesn’t mean you should have to pay an arm and a leg to get good iPhone and iPad apps. Thanks to our series on paid iOS apps that go on sale for free, you can keep all your appendages and enjoy some sweet new apps every day. Today’s post includes 7 limited-time sales, and you’ll find a few more remaining freebies in yesterday’s post as well.

MUST WATCH: Two new videos get up close and personal with the iPhone 7 like never before

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.

Rune Gems

screen640x640

Normally $1.99.

Rune Gems is an excellent, well-presented game, friendly to both long and short play sessions.
Five Star from -insidemobileapps.com

The whole game is well executed and we really love to tap on one of the runes, for the animation is so smooth.
Five Star from -fun2tap.com

Rune Gems is a new & unique puzzle game.

HOW TO PLAY:
1.You have a tray that holds 7 tiles.
2.Any tile you tap goes into your tray.
3.All tiles that enter your tray are automatically sorted by color and once you have EXACTLY 3 matching tiles of one of one color, those 3 tiles disappear and you score some points.

If you happen to tap on too many unmatched tiles so as to clog up the tray with no way to form a group of three matching tiles from the available tiles on the board, the game ends the second you add that 7th tile and it isn’t immediately part of an existing set.

A little trick:
Since a grouping can NEVER be more than 3, is to simply match as many triplets as fast as possible for an escalating speed combo bonus…but be careful, if in your haste you end up tapping on 4 red pieces, that 4th piece will now sit on the tray clogging stuff up until you find it two more partners. So always be mindful of what you put on the tray and make sure you can match it off quickly or letting it clog the flow up a bit is worth it if it is blocking your access to many other tiles underneath.

Wrap Camera HD

Wrap Camera HD

Normally $0.99.

The ultimate Picture Editor has been rebuilt from scratch to make your experience more exciting.
This update is not just an update, it is a new app that runs much, much faster and has a ton of new filters and effects.

Wrap Camera HD is combining the fun of playing with photos and serious picture editing on-the-go.

Probably the most complete picture editing tool with its more than 450 filters and effects, all function are sorted for a better workflow.
Professional tools like Histogram, Gamma Correction and Tonecurve come together with one touch corrections and tools like QuickSharp, Color Correction, Chroma and various lights.
Read comments from reviewers from before we turned the app into a stunning experience (and imagine what you miss if you don’t get it):
> Angela LaFollette, 148Apps: “Turn Pictures into works of art”
> TUAW (The Unofficial apple weblog): “Wrapcam is a clever and unique photo editor for ios”
> App4Phone: “Edit photos like a true professional”
> Appshine: “Unleash your imagination and let it free”
> Rebecca MacLary from appPicker: “Wrap Camera has some of the best and different effects I’ve seen in a photo editing app.”

Of course users agree with the reviewers verdict using words like:
+ Incredible
+ Beautiful
+ Awesome work
+ Never had so much fun
+ I think that now don’t miss anything!!
All these comments are from previous versions, be sure to get this completely revamped photo editing suite. It is aimed to statisfy every possible need!

All filters and effects are sorted in various categories.
That means if you need a one touch effect or filter, you find them all in the same place.
Or if you are looking for something more professional for dedicated work you can access these tools with another touch.

One Touch correction and clarity tools include – but are not limited to:
– Toon and Smooth Toon
– Chroma
– Kuwahara
– Amatorka
– Vignette
– Emboss
– Sepia
– Tilt Shift
– Blur
– sharpen/Unsharpen
and a lot more.

There are one touch finishing filters too, we call them Finesse:
– Quick Sharp
– Tone Up
– Dim
– Exposure
– Reverse
– Decolor
and tons of others.

Collage:
No photo app is complete without a collage, there is a well sorted set of different collages with individual zoom and move functions.

Picture Blending allows to create spicy artworks, that’s why there are more than 20 different blend modes, varying from simple add and multiply to advanced eChroma, Poisson, ColorBurn and Dissolving.

The editor section allows serious picture editing with Gamma Correction, White Balance, Hue and Saturation Control and even dedicted ToneCurve.
The editor includes more tools like free rotation, cropping, enhancing, brightness and contrast control.
Smoothing and Patching are perfect to tamper with selfies and for face tuning, for privacy you can switch off the geo tag directly from within the app.
Use the histogram to stay in control.

There was a need to include Face Swapping, that’s why we included a LOL button. That’s where you find it together with a Green Wall. Even if you don’t have access to a green box, it still is fun to play with :)

General corrections are called lights, a bunch can be used for various corrections or to imitate behaviour of certain film rolls or lenses from various devices.

And not to forget Overlay to create stunning effects, there are so many of them that you will be busy just scrolling through them.

For the icing on the cake, try Watercolors, Stickers and Splash Painting, you definitely will like it!
