Today’s Apps Gone Free: Capti Narrator, Pocket Yoga, Toca Builders And More

November 27, 2013

Keep your eyes on whatever is in front of you by listening to your favorite web content instead of reading it with Capti Narrator. We also have a fitness app that helps you stick to your yoga regiment, and a fantastic educational app from the team at Toca Boca.

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:

RetailMeNot Coupons ($0.99 → Free, 11.8 MB): Once you know where you're going, why not get an even better price than the advertised Black Friday deal with a coupon? RetailMeNot has the largest database of online and offline coupons available.

If you already know what you want, just check RetailMeNot for an additional coupon. If you're just looking for a great deal, the app presents you with all of the hot deals for the day based on where you are already shopping. No need to print these coupons either, just show your iPhone at the checkout counter and save. RetailMeNot Coupons is available for free forever! It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 6752 ratings.

Ziftit ($0.99 → Free, 9.2 MB): We've discussed the best way for you to get all your shopping done, but what about making sure people shop right for you? We know giving is better than receiving but there is nothing wrong with getting exactly what you want!

Ziftit is simple and awesome. You make a wish list of all the things you want, and share it with your friends and family so they don't get you the wrong thing again this year. The coolest part is people can then take things off your list, or even pitch in together to get you a gift that is too expensive for one person to afford. The app is beautiful, easy to use, and they currently have a $10,000 trendsetter contest for people who can pick the hottest gifts. We recommend making this list today and sending it to people, so they know what to get you BEFORE black Friday. Ziftit is available for free forever! It has a 4-star rating with a total of 41 ratings.
