Best Free iPhone Apps

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

We’re starting off February with a bang on Monday, bringing you a terrific list of paid iPhone and iPad apps that are currently on sale for free. It would normally cost you $78 in total to download all of the nifty apps on today’s list, but each and every one of them is on sale for free right now for a limited time. As always, these sales could end at any minute so be sure to hurry up and grab anything that looks appealing as soon as you can.

DON’T MISS: I lost 50 lbs in 3 months – here’s how technology helped me

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.

Welcome to creative photo editing!

Handy Photo was designed for those with a strong passion for photo editing. The app is a perfect choice when it comes to correcting and enhancing photos from all possible angles.

* Making tonal and color adjustments globally and locally *
Improve the general look of your photos by performing both global and local tonal and color corrections in them. With a few taps and swipes only, turn your images into vivid and vibrant works of art.

* Retouching photos with ultimate ease *
Remove unwanted content from your photos in a tap. Mobile image retouching has never been so fast and easy.

* Moving objects from photo to photo *
Is it possible to move any object within a single photo or to another image in just a few taps? The answer is yes when it comes to the Move Me tool. With it, you can do the impossible – move objects in photos to the locations they would never move to in real life.

* Applying filters to images partially *
With the Handy Photo’s powerful photo filters, which include Black and White, Bleach Bypass, Color Standout, Cross Process, Dramatic, Duotone, Fog, Glow, Golden, HDR, Halftone, Ink, Lomo, Old Photo, Polarization, Polaroid, Sepia, Sketch, Smart Contrast, Tilt-Shift, Tiny Planet, Vignette, and Vintage, you can add whatever artistic effects wanted to your images. The filters are all adjustable and, thanks to the partial application feature, can be easily combined within photos.

* Adding textures to photos partially *
Apply the Handy Photo’s terrific textures to your images to make them truly pop. You can select from the following categories of textures: Abstract, Cloth, Clouds, Frost and Ice, Grunge, Paper, Water, and Wood. All the textures can be adjusted to taste and applied to photos partially.

* Uncropping photos in a unique way *
The tool is called Magic not accidentally. It allows uniquely uncropping photos. No other app can do that. Moreover, it allows straightening crooked horizon lines in photos without sacrificing their original size.

* Adding attention-grabbing frames to images *
Before showing your photo to the whole world, it’s quite important to appropriately frame it. The Handy Photo’s excellent collection of frames serves just that purpose. Put the final touches on your photos by adding the following frames to them: Autumn Leaves, Carton, Film, Glass, Grunge, Lace, Paint Splashes, Pencil Sketch, Photo Album, Polaroid, Retro Photo, Sea Shell, Torn Paper, and Vintage.

StudioFlow is the easy way to manage your photography studio, stay organized and get paid.

In StudioFlow, you can see a list of all your photo sessions, organized by date and marked on a calendar, so that you can see at a glance when you are booked and when you might have availability. You can also see when you have ordering sessions scheduled with clients.

For every session, there is a list of tasks to complete. You don’t have to create these tasks— StudioFlow intelligently creates them for you based on a workflow that you set up. So it already knows that the day after your portrait session, you want to post a sneak peek to Facebook for your client, for example.

And one more thing you’re going to love. When you book a session, there’s a one-tap way to send an invoice by email to your client. And they get a super simple and secure way to pay you online with a credit card.

Use StudioFlow to:

• Customize an efficient workflow for your photography business, including steps for client communication, session tasks, editing, ordering and fulfillment.
• Easily book new photo sessions and have a list of tasks created for you automatically
• View details of a photo session, including completed and upcoming tasks
• See a list of all tasks that need to be completed today, tomorrow or next week, across all sessions
• Complete tasks by checking them off any to-do list, and they move to a section for recently completed items.
