Apple’s huge iPhone event was obviously the biggest news of the day, but the dust has now settled and it’s time to move on. On Monday, BGR shared a list of eight nifty paid iPhone and iPad apps worth a combined $87 that were made available for free for a limited time, and now we’re back with eight more apps that would typically cost a combined $52. Nearly $140 worth of apps for free in just two days? That’s right, but you’d better hurry if you want to snag them all.

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 are free at the time this post is published. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “free,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Track Me

This universal app for the iPhone and iPad will track your every move and plot your course on a map.

Leaves a trail behind the gps movement.
The track continues to record even when the program is in the background.
You can use this to create a track when leaving your car. Then load your track when you need to find it again.
Tracks can be imported and exported throuh email.
You can also send your current location by email to a friend and it will have a hyperlink that will bring up your position on a map.
Multiple tracks can be loaded at once and they will be joined automatically.

Normally $9.99, this app is now free for a limited time.

Flow

Do you have an older iPhone or iPad model and you want to record cool slow-motion videos like the iPhone 5s? This app is your answer.

Record straight to slow-motion video, no editing required.

Switch speed as you go—slide while recording to choose slow, fast, or normal speed.

When you’re done, Flow takes care of the rest and saves directly to Photos. It’s slow motion made easy.

: : : : : : : : : :

KEY FEATURES:

– Set slow and fast motion effects in real-time

– Extremely fast export thanks to Flow’s Lightning Encoder

– Save directly to Photos library

– View and share most recent recording within app

– Zoom on supported devices (pinch to zoom)

– Optional audio pitch correction to maintain constant audio pitch during slow and fast sequences

– Recording timer lets you know how long your video will be

– Option for 30 FPS fixed frame rate export for enhanced compatibility with applications that don’t support variable framerate video

FRAME CAPTURE RATE:

– 120 FPS on iPhone 5s
– 60 FPS on iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPad Air, iPad Mini with Retina Display, and iPod Touch 5th Generation with back-facing camera
– 30 FPS on all earlier devices
– Note that Flow does not currently support the iPod Touch with front-facing camera only.

TIPS:

– If you want to record a high-FPS video without slow-motion or fast-motion, simply set Flow to “1x” for your entire recording.

– If you find an app that has trouble playing back recordings you’ve made with Flow, you can re-render the video as a fixed frame rate 30 FPS video using our app SuperSlo—just set the speed to 1x. You can also tell Flow to export new recordings at 30 FPS through the Flow menu of the iOS Settings app, but in general, using the Lightning Encoder is the best way to go—it’s not only much, much faster than fixed frame rate exports, but the quality is also better, and most apps should support it without a hitch.

Quantum Legacy HD Turbo

A fun, fast-paced shooter that’s normally $19.99 and now free? Sure, why not?

Experience ON-RAILS action with JAW-DROPPING GRAPHICS in the next generation of arcade-style 3D SHMUPs for the first time with full retina support on all modern iOS devices with a completely redefined “Turbo” style of game play never before seen in the Quantum Legacy Universe!

• Enjoy Simple and Intuitive Controls: tilt your iOS device left/right to steer your ship manually while providing an opportunity for a skillful avoidance of enemy projectiles.
• Alternatively, for a casual ON-RAILS experience: forgo tilting and simply tap your enemies to engage the Auto Pilot while controlling your shields and weapons with a smooth 2-button interface.
• Bright and awe-inspiring JAW-DROPPING Turbo graphics with highly polished game play will take your breath away! For the first time ever, Quantum Legacy HD Turbo provides you with full native retina support on the iPhone 5, and iPad with Retina display.

>> Game Play Basics:

Steer your ship manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the ON-RAILS “Autopilot”. To maximize damage, it is best to be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right “Weapons/Fire” button. Holding the left “Shield” button will allow you to deflect all enemy projectiles. Prolonged use of the Weapons/Shields will cause a temporary overload. Note that it is NOT possible to fire your weapons while Shields are active until you level-up your starship and unlock Translucent Shielding at Level 5.

Successfully completing each mission will unlock new game content while allowing you to level-up in an RPG-like fashion. Completing missions 5, 10 and 15 will allow you to FREELY acquire one of 4 unique playable starships.
