We’ve got a great list of apps today that should appeal to anyone on the hunt for fresh games and useful utilities to fill up their iPhones and iPads. As always, these are paid iOS apps that have been made available for free for a limited time, and sale durations may vary. In other words, get them for free while you still can!
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
Normally $0.99.
DIRECT SHOT is a camera utility that lets you quickly capture and upload photos & videos straight to the Dropbox locations you choose. Connect to your Dropbox account and choose or create as many folder locations as you want. Photos & videos taken with Direct Shot are *not* added to your Camera Roll, so they don’t get mixed into your personal pictures – allowing you to extend your device’s storage!
HOW IT WORKS:
– Connect to your Dropbox account and choose or create as many folder locations as you want.
– From the Direct Shot camera, choose your intended location and take your photo or video.
– 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 tool, including:* Designers & Developers — Sketches, post-it notes, whiteboards, magazines
* Photographers & Videographers — Layouts, locations, lighting tests
* Teachers & Students — Assignments, notes, whiteboards, project elements
* Business Travelers — Receipts, expenses, rental-car info, directions
* Contractors & Plumbers — Receipts, wiring, replacement parts, specs——————————————
Notes:
– Dropbox accounts are available in Free, Pro, and Enterprise versions. 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.
