iOS Apps Gone Free: Namerick, Converter Touch HD, Battle Harvest, And More

February 19, 2012

Never forget another name again with Zest's super helpful utility app, Namerick. We also have a drag-and-drop unit converter for your iPad, and a match-3 game that has you trying to save the land of Orchardia.

All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.

iPhone:

TeeVee - Your Serial Guru ($0.99 -> Free, 17.6 MB): Keep a close eye on your favorite TV shows and never miss another episode again with this lifestyle app. You can add all of your favorite shows to your homepage, which looks and operates just like your iOS springboard. Each show listing includes basic cast and episode information along with a countdown to the next new episode, user ratings, a summary, and the ability to set up a new episode reminder.

TeeVee - Your Serial Guru is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3-star rating with a total of 7 ratings.

Dink ($0.99 -> Free, 5.6 MB): Create funky little animations frame-by-frame with this entertainment app. An unlimited amount of frames can be added to your animation, and, when ready, just start drawing within each one using a wide selection of tools. The app even supports layers and onion skinning for those with advanced animation skills. Once each frame is complete, you can play your animation back at one of five speeds and share it with friends via mydink.net, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or email. It's also worth mentioning that the developer is currently holding an animation contest through the app, and the winner will receive a Nintendo 3DS!

Dink is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 9 ratings.

Namerick - Remember Names ($1.99 -> Free, 5.6 MB): If you find yourself constantly forgetting the names of people you have met, then you absolutely must check out Namerick. This helpful utility app allows you to record the names of people you have met along with key items like where you met them, how they fit into your life, and how you intend to utilize them as a contact. It also allows you to save general notes for each person, and generate a mnemonic "namerick" to help your memory. The app includes search, filtering, and the ability to set up notifications so that you can work on improving your memory through repetition.

Namerick - Remember Names is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 54 ratings.

Universal:

Blind World ($2.99 -> Free, 17.9 MB): This rather unique casual game has you tilting and turning your device in order to color in the world. You are able to drag your finger on the screen to rotate the world around you, or you can spin your device to change the gravity. The game includes three episodes with 20 levels each, three themes, and Game Center support.

Blind World is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 304 ratings.

Battle Harvest ($0.99 -> Free, 37.0 MB): Save the land of Orchardia in this match-3 game. Your job is to slide apples all around the screen in order to make matches of three or more. New apples are constantly being added to the game board via the top of the screen, and Wormwits are invading from the bottom, so creating large matches and combos is definitely to your advantage. You can also move apples without creating matches to set yourself up for a big score. The game includes three modes, loads of levels, power-ups, and Game Center integration.

Battle Harvest is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 71 ratings.

iPad:

Converter Touch HD ~ Fastest Unit Converter ($0.99 -> Free, 3.6 MB): A unit converter for your iPad that features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. To choose two units to convert, simply drag one on top of the other. You can also just drag units to the display at the top of the screen to choose them. The app also includes the ability to favorite commonly used pairings, a built-in calculator, history, copy and paste, up to the minute currency exchange rates, and even the ability to calculate fuel consumption.

Converter Touch HD ~ Fastest Unit Converter is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 104 ratings.

creatR ($2.99 -> Free, 770.7 KB): Construct complex physics-based animations with this entertaining app. You'll be blown away by what you can do with such a basic set of tools, but once you start connecting the circles and rectangles with motorized pins, rivets, and rod joints, you'll realize anything is possible. The app also includes loads of customization options like the ability to change the direction and speed of motors, friction levels, and mass. For the curious, creatR utilizes the Chipmunk Physics engine, the same one used in some of the App Store's most popular games.

creatR is available for free today only (02/19). It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 5 ratings.
