We’re nearly made it through the first month of 2020, and what better way to kick off the last week of the month than with a bunch of free apps from the App Store. Just keep in mind that these apps are only on sale temporarily, so you need to act fast if you want to get them before they go back to being paid.
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 app 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. Some apps may have additional features that require in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed or use that feed to create an email alert so you’ll be notified as soon as these posts are published and avoid missing any sales.

You can add music with:
1. Dropbox cloud service

Supported formats: mp3, wav, aiff, m4a, m4p
How does it work?
Right away, one question pops in many people’s heads: “How can you modify your headphones?? This is just impossible!” That’s right, you can’t change your headphones. But you can change the audio signal sent to the headphones.
All headphones have some sound distortion, caused by many factors, and the greater the distortion the less the music that you hear resembles the original sound that you obtain at a professional recording studio.
Only high-quality studio headphones (usually priced from $600) allow you to hear minimally distorted sound: the true sound. This is because such headphones have a maximally flat frequency response.
Thanks to our in-depth research into sound, we know how to configure your equipment to achieve a level of sound quality maximally close to what you get at a studio. We thoroughly researched the frequency response of all the devices in the player and fine-tuned them taking into account the special characteristics of their sound. In addition, since we know that every person’s ear is unique, we allow you to fine-tune the sound of the available presets, but please be very careful when using this feature: don’t try too hard.
In terms of technology, our player is:
◉ More than 80 fabric presets for crystal clear sound
◉ Unique 48-band parametric equalizer
◉ Possibility to adjust the sound of factory presets to your taste using adjusting module with pro abilities
◉ Song Lyrics
◉ Easy to uploading music from any MAC/PC with iTunes
◉ Download music from player to any MAC/PC with iTunes
◉ Collect music “on fly” – just tap to TOP!
◉ Possibility to create and edit playlists
◉ Automatic presets switching for bluetooth devices (very useful in car or home audio system)
◉ Really low energy consumption
◉ Possibility to change the speed and the tonality of music
◉ Zoom of the album artwork for a detailed view
◉ 16 color schemes, include “Night” skin
◉ Simple user interface
We used our entire experience of working with audio to create this player and share it with you. With the help of our proprietary technology for identifying excessive frequencies in the sound, we tried to get rid of the headphones ‘effect’ and obtain maximum presence sensation. Try to listen to live music using EarPods headphones, for example, and you will understand what is meant here.
Many people are searching for their own sound and remain not fully satisfied. We tried to arrange for that you could hear the music as it sounds in the recording studio, maximally close to the studio original sound which draws the line in the search for true sound.
Audio engineers use their entire working experience to make the sound elegant and beautiful. But only 3 to 5% of the people listening to music on truly professional equipment or Hi-Fi / Hi-End class equipment are able to hear what the audio engineer tried to deliver. With our player you will have the opportunity to listen to music in the same way as the lucky owners of expensive equipment do.
The player has over 80 presets for the equipment of the following brands: Apple, AKG, Bose, Beats by Dre, JBL, Harman/Kardon, Marley, Razer, Sony, Sennheiser, Monster, Parrot. Each preset is the result of in-depth research and fine tuning of the sound of each model individually.
You can find the list of presets at our site.
IMPORTANT: All of the presets were created on original audio devices exclusively. The sound on “counterfeit products” are absolutely incompatible with our player!
The production year and model has to match with the model mentioned in presets. Otherwise, there is no guarantee of studio sound quality.
