Today's Apps Gone Free: FX Photo Studio, Plunderland, Pocket Scanner HD And More

April 18, 2013

Put an end to your search for the perfect photography app by downloading today's AppBump featured app, FX Photo Studio. This is the first time FX Photo Studio has ever been offered for free, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity while you can!

We also have an arcade game that allows you to sail the seas as a pirate, and a business app that turns your iPad into a portable scanner.

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:

Space Wolves ($0.99 → Free, 10.6 MB): Don't you just hate it when Space Wolves invade your planet? Well, so does Royston, the friendly space engineer. Help him wipe out all of the Space Wolves by flinging silver balls at them. Tap and drag away from Royston to aim, and then just release to shoot. Your silver ball is allowed to ricochet, so try taking different angles to clear all of the wolves in a single shot. The game includes a total of 32 levels.
