You’ve waited long enough for Thursday’s list of the best paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free, and now it’s finally here. Don’t worry, it was worth the wait. We’ve got some awesome apps lined up for you that we found after digging through more than a hundred different paid apps on sale, but remember that these discounts could vanish at any time so be sure to check them out as soon as you can.
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.

Photosets Pro
Normally $0.99.
Photosets is the most-advanced Motion Photography mobile app available … it is also the most-advanced Wide Color “capture” mobile app available … soon, both of those facts will become widely-known … until then, relish Photosets, knowing full-well that you are ahead of the curve ! … within just a month or two from now (Tues 12/27/2016), most will have either used or heard of Photosets.
Photosets’ in-app Camera is intended for Wide Color Motion Photography & Motion Photoshoot applications, and produces Wide Color Motion Photosets (thus the app name, Photosets).
A singular Motion Photoset is simply a set of photos, intended to capture “the motion” of your photo subject.
When you hit the camera’s Start button, Photosets will typically capture up-to 30 photos per Burst (or up-to 45 photos per Burst, if you have an iPhone 7 Plus) … note that each captured photo will have a resolution of 8 Mpx … note also that if you’re using an Apple mobile device with a 12 Mpx image sensor, all Zoomed-In capture photos will have 24% higher quality than if captured with an 8 Mpx image sensor !
Photosets’ in-app Editor allows you to select (& tag) up-to five of your favorite Motion Photos from each Motion Photoset … simply hit the Star button (to activate), then the Apply button (to move the marker), and then the Save button, “for each” Motion Photo you intend to tag … if you screw-up, simply hit the Reset button; this will remove all of the tags for the selected photoset.
When you (later) Share and/or Export, the Motion Photos you tagged (earlier) will be sent with the companion, auto-generated (Slow Motion) Video (generated from the full Motion Photoset).
Because Photosets applies “tags” to a photo’s metadata (EXIF User Comment, to be precise), you can completely separate the Editing from the Sharing and/or Exporting.
Before using Photosets, we highly recommend you briefly review ALL of the options & descriptions in the Photosets section of your Settings app … doing so will provide you with a nice Overview of how the app is sectioned, and all of it’s capabilities.
If your particular Apple mobile device does NOT include support for Wide Color “capture,” you can still use ALL of the features and 95% of the capabilities of Photosets … the ONLY thing you won’t have access to is the Wide Color support … however, you’ll be learning how to use Photosets, the most-innovative & most-advanced Wide Color mobile app on the market, so you’ll be Ready whenever you upgrade to a Wide Color-enabled iPhone or iPad !
For a nice overview of Photosets, please see our two published articles on our “Shot with Photosets” channel, on the Apple News app (on your Apple mobile device).
For additional information, please see both the Home & News pages on our website.
