Next week is when Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which are rumors to come with twice the storage of the company’s current iPhones. That means up to 256GB of space just waiting to be filled with apps, and we’ll help you on your quest to fill all that extra space with today’s list of 10 paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for a limited time.

MUST SEE: Leaked photos of iPhone 7 in blue remind us of the biggest remaining mystery

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.

Red Dot Camera

Red Dot Camera

Normally $2.99.

Looking for an iPhone camera app with the look and feel of a professional manual camera? Red Dot Camera is the first camera app to bring rangefinder-style manual focus and exposure features to iOS, taking creative mobile photography to the next level.

Inspired by the retro craftsmanship of the classic Leica M camera series, Red Dot Camera brings your images to life with unrivalled quality and without the interference of gimmicky filters.

Featuring four basic settings – ISO, Speed, Exposure Compensation, and Focus, Red Dot excels in delivering a retro photography experience coupled with exceptional image capture quality.

Key Features:

**Rangefinder-Style Manual Focusing**
Focus in with precision using a magnified patch at the center of the viewfinder to capture the perfect image.

**Manual ISO Control**
High ISO settings generate more image noise. By letting you set the ISO value manually, Red Dot Camera allows you to capture sharper and clearer images.

**Manual Shutter Speed Control**
Adjust the shutter speed manually to achieve the effect of longer exposures (car headlights, water, etc.), or to capture shots of fast action.

**Display Frame Lines (28mm, 35mm, 50mm)**
The iPhone lens has a fixed focal length of 28mm, but Red Dot Camera shows frame lines that simulate those of a 35mm and 50mm lens, just like the Leica M rangefinder.

**Self-Timer**
Take a group picture or self-shot by setting the auto-timer to one of three countdown settings.

**Black & White Mode**
Switch to black and white and capture your image in classic coloration.

Whether you’re a creative camera enthusiast or a photography student, you’ll be amazed at how Red Dot Camera enables you to take sharper, better-exposed, professional quality photos from your iPhone.
