8 awesome iPhone apps

Posted on July 20, 2015 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

Zach Epstein (today it’s Brad Reed), over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch) apps that are temporarily free.

Here’s the fine print:

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.

We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

Here’s what you need to know about iCloud Photo Library, how it works and what it will cost you.

New iPods!

new iPods

 

Impressed with all of the cool Apple Store apps, but not quite in a position to spring for an iPhone or an iPad? Need a companion for your workouts? Want a compact, really-hard-to-break music/podcast player? You need an iPod! But, which one?

Roger Fingas’ feature on AppleInsider this morning, Apple’s new iPod touch, iPod nano, & iPod shuffle: which one is right for you?, goes a long way to straightening that question out.

If you’re in the least bit interested in iPods (I love my iPod Touch, BTW), head on over and take a look.
