We’ve gotten plenty of emails over the weeks and months asking us to include more games in our daily posts on paid iPhone and iPad apps that go on sale for free. Well, if you’re on the hunt for new games but you don’t want to pay big bucks, today is your lucky day. We’ve got several games on our list of freebies including Angry Birds and a bunch of great games you’ve never heard of, and there are also several non-game apps you’ll want to check out.

MUST SEE: Leaked photos show a real iPhone 7 powered on for the first time ever

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.

Smart Cycle Alarm PRO

Smart Cycle Alarm PRO

Normally $0.99.

Sleeping is one of the most important part of our life.
The sleep is responsible for our mental health, physical health and the quality of our life.

The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time.
Sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

Smart Cycle Alarm was specially developed to help you sleep smart.

When we sleep, we experience different sleep states, from deep sleep to light sleep.
The state you are in when your alarm clock goes off will decide how tired you feel.

The intelligent Smart Cycle Alarm monitors the signals received from your body, to wake you up softly, when you are in the lightest possible sleep state (natural waking phase), feeling refreshed and relaxed, instead of tired.

Features:

– Wakes you up in the lightest sleep state;
– Detailed graphs and statistics for every night;
– Special settings and options for your preferences;
– Pleasant selected sounds to wake you up;
– Wake up with your iPod music;
– Counts and tracks your heart rate;
– Customizable wake up phase, from 10 to 90 min;
– Customizable snooze;
– Use vibration as backup;
– Works in background;
– Sleep aid sound to help you fall a sleep, regular and intelligent, with 11 different sounds;
– Uses iPhone’s proximity to save your battery;
– Export Database as a CSV file;
– Help information;
– Share your sleep data on Facebook, Twitter or via Email;

Note:
– The app uses HealthKit, in order to gather Sleep Analysis Data to Health app. When alarm rings and user wakes up, sleep data about current sleep or nap is saved to Health, Sleep Analysis. Also user can prevent saving data to Health app, by disabling this functionality in Settings
– Because Smart Cycle Alarm uses iPhone’s accelerometer, you must be able to place the iPhone correctly next to you.
– To prevent your device to turn off during the night, make sure you can keep your device connected to the charger.

Designed for simplicity Dialr displays only the picture for your contact or their initials. No labels, no clutter. Just your dearest phone numbers, just a swipe away.

Additionally, you can now access your favorite contacts on your iPad and call them on your iPhone. Just connect your iPad to your iPhone with the new call forwarding feature from Apple and dial your favorite number right from Notification Center on your iPad. (Note, you can’t make calls with your iPad alone. Being on the same Wi-Fi network is required during a phone call. See http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/continuity/ for more information about that feature)

for bug reports and feature requests please contact me on our website
Thanks for your support!

(For U.S. users it is important to know, that third party apps currently can’t support vertical service codes. If you are using them (e.g. *82 before the phone number), Dialr won’t be able to place that call. The numbers you want to dial generally can’t have any symbols except numbers and +. This is due to security reasons on Apples side)
