Another day, another batch of awesome paid iPhone and iPad apps that can be downloaded for free if you act fast. Different app makers are constantly offering their paid apps for free in an effort to drum up some extra interest, but sifting through all of those apps can be a tiring task. Luckily, BGR is happy to do the heavy lifting for you. Today we have six nifty apps to tell you about, but remember: These sales often last for just a short time, so be sure to act quickly if you see anything you like.
Discovr Music
Services like Pandora and Spotify can be great for discovering new music, but sometimes you get in a rut and need new ways to find great bands you’ve never heard of before. Discovr Music could be just what the doctor ordered.

BubbleFrame
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a few creatively placed words can really help get your message across. Some cool frames and other effects can also help, we suppose.
Take framing of your pictures and videos to a whole new level. BubbleFrame 2 now gives you more creative control than ever before with intuitive features not found in any other app.
- Shape your own frames from circles, ovals, squares, or rectangles that you customize.
- Fill your shapes with your favorite videos and photos.
- Add straight text or unique text around your shape frames.
With BubbleFrame 2 you have complete control of every design aspect from beginning to end.
Create. Inspire. Share. BubbleFrame 2.
BubbleFrame is typically a $1.99 download and it’s compatible with both the iPhone and iPad.
iPIN
There are many solid options for iOS password managers that safely store your passwords and other sensitive data securely, but they all come at a price. iPIN, however, is free for a limited time.
You have to remember several PINs and passwords? For various credit cards, online-banking, security-token, email accounts and so on?
iPIN – and your PINs and passwords are always at hand. Access at lightning speed, as secure as possible and – if you like – also in synch via iCloud at any time on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and your Mac OS devices!
The highlight: login with the sensor keyboard
With an innovative sensor keyboard you’ll have quick access to all your PINs – without any annoying and time-killing passwords. Just remember a geometrical shape, a digit, an alphabetic character or an individual sensor combination and set up your private sensor code.
You can simply touch a sensor or swipe across multiple sensors at once. Naturally, combinations are allowed and should be used to make your sensor code as secure as possible. The first touch activates the sensor, and with a second touch the sensor becomes deactivated. You can activate and deactivate the sensors as often as you like. Your individual sensor code is calculated by the order in which you have activated and deactivated the sensors and in which way the sensors have been activated and deactivated: single touch or swipe.
Security
Security is of greatest importance! All data (including the data in iCloud if you enable iCloud synchronisation in iPIN) is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard and a key length of 256 bit (abbreviated AES-256). With this state-of-the-art encryption algorithm your private data is protected from unauthorized access – even in the case your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac gets into the wrong hands.
KISS – keep it simple and secure
iPIN tries to fulfill the KISS principle. iPIN was developed to store and display PINs and passwords – no more and no less. So the focus is on simplicity, clarity and high level of security.
This universal app usually sells for $3.99 but you can download it for free right now.

Looking for a no-frills text editor with a unique interface and all of the core features you could possibly need? This app might be perfect for you.
Daedalus Touch is the first truly next-gen text editor on iOS. No file lists, no folders, no documents in the classic sense – just paper stacks and an infinite amount of sheets. You navigate by standard gestures, all perfectly mapped and matched to the tasks at hand.
Interacting with digital texts never felt so natural: Flick through pages by swiping left and right, reorder stacks and sheets via drag’n’drop, use tap to open, pinch to close, and select multiple sheets for export with simple taps.
