If you can peel yourself away from your new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus for a few moments, we’ve collected today’s best premium iPhone and iPad apps that are on sale for free into a simple list for you. You’ll find 10 paid apps listed below, but none of them will cost you a dime if you hurry up and download them now before these sales end.

MUST SEE: iPhone 7 vs. Galaxy Note 7 speed test: This is just embarrassing…

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.

Monitor your kid’s computer use with Watchover.
Sit anywhere in your house and see what your kids are doing on their computers from your iPhone, iPod or iPad.

Cyber safety is a challenge. Unless you are leaning over your kid’s shoulders it is hard to know what they are doing on their computers.

Just like watching your kids in the park, Watchover lets you keep an eye on them from a distance. Watchover provides screenshots, so you see what they see, and records which programs are being used, when and for how long.

So while the children are in their bedrooms, you can connect from your iPhone, iPod or iPad and view what they’ve been doing for the last few days – or see what is on their screens right now.

“ Gotta love it! – The makers of VLC Streamer hit another home run for anyone with a teenager….I love this app and can keep an eye on my son now without having to constantly run to my laptop. Great job guys!”
– US Reviewer

“ I have a technologically advanced 13 year old boy (are there any other kind today?), and I’ve been looking hard for an unobtrusive, non-invasive way of keeping an eye on his internet browsing. We’ve tried various other approaches… Some of them got quite loud! Watchover provides concerned and caring parents with a way to discretely monitor their children’s online experience and the time they spend on their computers without overtly invading their space. Everybody wins. I will, sincerely, be recommending this app to every parent I know. Thanks, Lyn.”

Water It

Normally $1.99.

ARE YOU DRINKING ENOGH WATER DURING ACTIVITIES?

It only takes a 10% loss of body water through dehydration to be life threatening, and studies show that with just 1-3% loss of body water, brain function is impaired.

With enough water, the body can:

Regulate your temperature;
Digest and process food;
Absorb nutrients and carry them to cells;
Pass waste;
Maintain the health and integrity of every cell;
Moisten mucous membranes, such as those of the lungs and mouth;
Reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection;
Lubricate and cushion joints;
Moisturise the skin for a healthy appearance;
Carry oxygen to cells; and
Protect the eyes, spinal cord, and amniotic sac in pregnancy.

What are the effects of not enough water?

When you drink an inadequate amount of water, the symptoms of acute dehydration can quickly kick in. These symptoms include:

Dry mouth;
Fatigue;
Thirst;
Decreased urine output;
Dry skin;
Headache;
Constipation;
Dizziness; and
Difficulty concentrating.

If you continue to avoid water, you risk severe dehydration, with symptoms including:

Extreme thirst;
Irritability;
Very dry mouth, skin, and mucous membranes;
Reduced urine that’s often dark in colour;
Sunken eyes;
Low blood pressure;
Rapid heartbeat/breathing;
Fever;
Delirium; and
Unconsciousness.

So how much water should you be drinking?

The amount of water you need to drink varies depending on your body size, metabolism, diet, activities and the weather.

This app helps you to determine the required amount of water during the activities considering not only body size but also urine color, amount you sweat, activity type, activity intensity , activity duration, weather and temperature.

This app can save your data in Health App so you can log your water drinking records!
