If it’s free iPhone and iPad apps you want, it’s free iPhone and iPad apps you shall have. Yesterday’s post on paid iOS apps on sale for free still has a few remaining freebies if you hurry, but we’ve got 10 fresh apps in Wednesday’s post that you won’t want to miss.

MUST SEE: iPhone 7: Our biggest question was just answered

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.

DVD Storage

DVD Storage

Normally $0.99.

DVD Storage is an application that will make it easy for you to remember what DVD’s, Blu-rays or Digital Movies you have.
The idea behind the tool is that if you are in a shop to buy your latest DVD, you can quickly check if you already own this disc. You can set special criteria to filter the database. There is also a ‘quick search’ that filters while you are typing.
There is an easy interface to add new items to the collection. 374 titles where entered in about 3 hours through the iPad interface to give you an example.
Sharing the database with other iPhone’s or iPad’s is easy and works through the iTunes Apps File sharing method. A detailed explanation is in the help menu provided.

Additional information for the more tech savvy ones.
The database used to save your DVD, Blu-ray movie/series collection is a SQLite 3 one. So the database can be used on any OS platform that supports this database standard.
For example an insert query can be written in a SQLite database manager to bulk insert data. As long as the database structure remains unchanged you can then import through iTunes your database back onto your device.

NOTE: This app does NOT play movies. It also does NOT save your movies in digital format. It only stores information about a DVD or Blu-ray that you type in.

Scientific

Normally $1.99.

Scientific blends the reliability and ease of use of classic scientific calculators with the aesthetics and functionality of your smartphone.

You would think those clunky old plastic devices with low resolution screens would have gone the way of the dinosaurs by now, right? After all, it’s old technology and we live in the age of the smartphone. But they’re still used faithfully by most every science student and engineer in the world – and for good reason. They do a lot of stuff that your smartphone can’t; you can type in large expressions before evaluating them. And they show your previous calculations in a really intuitive way. Scientific is designed with these benefits in mind and leverages the power of your smartphone’s touchscreen to add great new functionality, that just wouldn’t be possible with any other device.

– Scroll through all of your previous expressions and copy/paste the ones you need with just a long press.
– Keep track of complicated expressions with smart parentheses that animate as you’re closing them.
– Get a streamlined interface with the most essential functions that you need – and none of the clutter that you don’t.
– Conveniently switch between degrees and radians at the tap of a button.
– View your expressions in beautiful typography thanks to advanced and customised font features.

If you have any questions, issues or suggestions with regards to the app, please do not hesitate to contact me at info@andreaslif.com.
