June is almost over but there are still some awesome deals on great iPhone and iPad apps that can be enjoyed before the second half of the year is upon us. Today, we have three nifty apps to share with you that typically sell for a combined value of $13, but they can all be had for free if you act fast and download them as soon as possible.

Recordium

Apple’s own Voice Memos app for iOS devices is, well, cute. But people looking for something packed with fantastically useful functionality and a great interface should ditch Apple’s app as soon as possible in favor of Recordium.

Recordium is a powerful yet elegant recording app designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Recordium lets you highlight the track while playing or recording audio, helping you focus on the most important parts of your recordings.

Attachments such as notes, tags, and pictures can be easily added to any part of the recording. This enables searching among your recordings, allowing you quick access to the most important and highlighted parts of your tracks.

Recordium’s intuitive user interface, smooth playback, and multiple options for customizing the size and quality of the recordings using various compression algorithms are among the features that make this app an essential tool for everybody, especially students, journalists and musicians.
