Best Free iPhone Apps

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

Yesterday was our biggest list of the week featuring paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free for a short time, and a few of the apps on that list are actually still free downloads if you hurry. We have a fresh new batch of apps for you today, however, and there are eight apps in Thursday’s list.

As always, be sure to download anything that looks appealing as soon as you can, because these sales will be over before you know it.

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.

Normally $2.99.

The ultimate Picture Editor has been rebuilt from scratch to make your experience more exciting.
This update is not just an update, it is a new app that runs much, much faster and has a ton of new filters and effects.

Wrap Camera HD is combining the fun of playing with photos and serious picture editing on-the-go.

Probably the most complete picture editing tool with its more than 450 filters and effects, all function are sorted for a better workflow.
Professional tools like Histogram, Gamma Correction and Tonecurve come together with one touch corrections and tools like QuickSharp, Color Correction, Chroma and various lights.
Read comments from reviewers from before we turned the app into a stunning experience (and imagine what you miss if you don’t get it):

> TUAW (The Unofficial apple weblog): “Wrapcam is a clever and unique photo editor for ios”
> App4Phone: “Edit photos like a true professional”
> Appshine: “Unleash your imagination and let it free”

Of course users agree with the reviewers verdict using words like:
+ Incredible
+ Beautiful
+ Awesome work
+ Never had so much fun
+ I think that now don’t miss anything!!
All these comments are from previous versions, be sure to get this completely revamped photo editing suite. It is aimed to statisfy every possible need!

All filters and effects are sorted in various categories.
That means if you need a one touch effect or filter, you find them all in the same place.
Or if you are looking for something more professional for dedicated work you can access these tools with another touch.

One Touch correction and clarity tools include – but are not limited to:
– Toon and Smooth Toon
– Chroma
– Kuwahara
– Amatorka
– Vignette
– Emboss
– Sepia
– Tilt Shift
– Blur
– sharpen/Unsharpen
and a lot more.

There are one touch finishing filters too, we call them Finesse:
– Quick Sharp
– Tone Up
– Dim
– Exposure
– Reverse
– Decolor
and tons of others.

Collage:
No photo app is complete without a collage, there is a well sorted set of different collages with individual zoom and move functions.

Picture Blending allows to create spicy artworks, that’s why there are more than 20 different blend modes, varying from simple add and multiply to advanced eChroma, Poisson, ColorBurn and Dissolving.

The editor section allows serious picture editing with Gamma Correction, White Balance, Hue and Saturation Control and even dedicted ToneCurve.
The editor includes more tools like free rotation, cropping, enhancing, brightness and contrast control.
Smoothing and Patching are perfect to tamper with selfies and for face tuning, for privacy you can switch off the geo tag directly from within the app.
Use the histogram to stay in control.

There was a need to include Face Swapping, that’s why we included a LOL button. That’s where you find it together with a Green Wall. Even if you don’t have access to a green box, it still is fun to play with :)

General corrections are called lights, a bunch can be used for various corrections or to imitate behaviour of certain film rolls or lenses from various devices.

And not to forget Overlay to create stunning effects, there are so many of them that you will be busy just scrolling through them.

For the icing on the cake, try Watercolors, Stickers and Splash Painting, you definitely will like it!

The most complete picture editing tool, completely revamped.
Faster, more reliable, more functions and more options!
