We’re just a day away from the iPhone X, and I’m sure many of you are anxiously awaiting a package tomorrow. And if you missed the chance to preorder the phone, you may be one of the brave souls waiting in line at an Apple store. Either way, why not take this time to download some paid apps that are temporarily free on the App Store?

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any 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 anyway, you will be charged by Apple.

Direct Shot for Dropbox

Normally $0.99.

Extend your device storage by skipping the Camera Roll and sending photos and video directly to the Dropbox cloud locations you choose. Stay organized and choose your desired locations directly from the camera.

Direct Shot for Dropbox requires an internet (WiFi or Cellular) connection to use.

HOW IT WORKS:
1) Connect your Dropbox account (Free, Pro, or Enterprise)
2) Choose or create as many folder locations as you want
3) From the Direct Shot camera, choose your desired location and take your photo or video
4) Your media is automatically uploaded to the chosen Dropbox location, and never gets added to your Camera Roll

WHO IT’S FOR:
Direct Shot is perfect for anyone who wants to use the camera on their iOS device as an archiving or organizational utility, including:
• Designers & Developers — Sketches, post-it notes, whiteboards, magazines
• Teachers & Students — Assignments, notes, whiteboards, project elements
• Business Travelers — Receipts, expenses, rental-car info, directions
• Photographers & Videographers — Layouts, locations, lighting tests
• Contractors & Plumbers — Receipts, wiring, replacement parts, specs

——————————————

Notes:
Dropbox accounts are available in Free, Pro, and Enterprise versions, and Direct Shot works with all three of these account types. Direct Shot needs access to your Camera (for images and video), Microphone (for video), and Cellular Data (for upload when away from WiFi) to be awesome… make sure to give access when prompted. You do not need to have the Dropbox app installed on your device to use Direct Shot.

Kudak Pro

Normally $0.99.

Analog Disposable Camera with 24 shots in one film. You have to wait 1 days for the development process of photos and one hour for a new film.

In todays instant preview era we might have lost the thill of choosing and embracing moments. We have also lost the excitement and thrill of waiting for photos to be developed.

Kudak Pro bring all that back to you. Now you have to wait 1 days to develop a film. A film contains 24 photos and to add an extra twist not to over shoot it takes one hour to get a new film. Photos get random light leaks just like the real disposable cameras. If you however want the original photo you can get that too in the app.

Why 1 day development?
We want the photos to be surprise to you. In one day you can forget what you took photo of and it will be a nice surprise when you get the photos developed.

Note, that you need to finish all 24 photos in the film for the development process to start.

With Kudak Pro we hope to get you away from mainstream snapping of self-destructive photos to value what you capture.

The app is a tribute to the iconic Kodak Funsaver.
