Best Free iPhone Apps

Following yesterday’s killer post, we’re back with yet another list of the best paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free. We’ve got a terrific list for you today but like always, these sales could be over at any minute so be sure to hurry and grab anything that looks appealing right away.

MUST WATCH: iPhone 7 vs. Pixel real-world speed test: The showdown we’ve been waiting for

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.

DropDetector

dropdetector

Normally $0.99.

Meet the Drop Detector – an application that can prevent the loss of your iPhone! IMMEDIATELY! at the drop site, using Signals!
!Millions of phones are lost every year – the loss of the phone can happen at any time!
When activated at the right moment, the application will save your iPhone!

You can use several modes of instant alerts:
– Melody sound of your choice,
– Vibration,
– Silent mode, as well as notifications with
– Geolocation coordinates of the drop site of your iPhone right on your e-mail (notification of the whereabouts of the iPhone are sent after 20 seconds since the beginning of the notification).
Activate the application when and where you think it’s needed.
It’s simple – try it! It is helpful and interesting! The application can be used also for other purposes (of course within the framework of the functionality of the application itself), it all depends on your needs and imagination.
• • • • • • • • • •

* In the silent mode alert only melody sound and geolocation will work – vibration doesn’t work in silent mode due to iOS specifications, so do not forget to turn the sound on (trigger on the left side of your iPhone);
** When choosing your music track from iPhone, this track will not appear in the list of standard due to iOS specifications – it is played at the notification;
*** Geolocation usage drains your battery, but in our case we have made a minimum battery power consumption (go to Settings > Battery and check the battery usage of our app — it is minimal for background applications).
