iPhone And iPad Apps Gone Free: Textfree Unlimited, American Cookouts, TowerMadness, And More
May 28, 2010
Today we have seven iPhone and iPad apps gone free, which gives you a nice variety to choose from. But due to the length of today's list, we are going to try to keep the descriptions as short as possible.
Textfree Unlimited ($5.99 -> Free): Gives you the ability to send and receive unlimited and completely free texts from an iPhone or iPod touch to any U.S. mobile phone. There are no yearly fees, but the app does contain ads along with the ability to remove them at a cost.
This is the first time Textfree Unlimited has ever been available for free since its launch in early 2009, so don't miss out on this one. It will be free for a limited time.
iCooking American Cookouts ($.99 -> Free): Contains 56 delicious and easy to prepare recipes, which can be sorted by type and marked as favorites for easy access. It also allows you to add your own recipes so you can keep them all in one place.
iCooking American Cookouts is available for free today only (5/28).
TowerMadness ($2.99 -> Free): A 3D tower defense game that will have you defending sheep from aliens. The game features 21 maps, 16 enemies, 9 weapons, and an endless mode. Any in-app purchases made in the iPhone version of the game transfer over to the iPad.
TowerMadness is available for free today only (5/28).
Fanta 4 Pinball ($2.99 -> Free): A pinball game that features 3D graphics, realistic ball physics, four missions, tilt, and OpenFeint integration. The game also features music by Die Fantastischen Vier, which could be a selling point or a deal breaker.
Fanta 4 Pinball is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time.
Crazy Hamster ($.99 -> Free): A simple game where you must help Crazy Hamster gather winter supplies by making sure he doesn't start on fire or fall into a trap by using your trusty tools. Crazy Hamster moves by himself, but you can tilt the device in order to make him move quicker.
Crazy Hamster is available for free today only (5/28).
Bombardiers Guild ($1.99 -> Free): A physics-based game where you must fire missiles at your opposition and land a hit before they do. It's not as easy as it sounds, however, as your missiles will veer off the path thanks to the gravity from the surrounding planets. The game also features a two-player mode that allows you to play on the same device.
Bombardiers Guild is available for free today only (5/28).
iPad only:
Word Slam HD ($.99 -> Free): A fast-paced word game where you must use your rack of tiles before your opponent does. Both players share the same word, and tiles can only be placed one at a time, so speed is key. You can play head-to-head against a friend or take on the AI.
Word Slam HD is available for free for a limited time to celebrate the international iPad launch.
Seven free apps should hopefully be enough to get you through the day. Happy Friday!
