You’ll find nine new ones in Friday’s post, though there are also still a few freebies left over from yesterday if you want to go back and check them out.

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.

THE STRUGGLE ========

We all know the struggle when taking selfies, It’s PRESSING THE BUTTON!

When you take selfies with group of friends, You somehow frame everyone in the photo but then realize it’s hard to press the capture button, because you are holding the phone with one hand and capture button is a bit far to reach.

You then use the volume button to capture but it leaves you with a blurry photo because when you try to press that hard button it shakes the phone.

The other case is you go to some beautiful place and then you want to take a picture, For example you standing in front of tower Eiffel. Now you have mounted the phone on a tripod or something, then put the self timer. and you go and stand there for the picture. It burst with 10 photos almost identical to each other. there’s no variety. If your pose is not that good in those 10 photos, then you have to stand for the photo again.

PHOTOBOT SOLUTION =========
