iPhone And iPad Apps Gone Free: Tumult, FUP, Recorder HD And More

July 14, 2010

Today's list once again features a wealth of iPad apps, including the entertaining and colorful Tumult.  Free apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are lacking today, however, due to the fact that many of them had low iTunes ratings, but we were able to find a few good ones. Hot Air: Pocket Devil Hellzapoppin' ($.99 -> Free): A climbing game where you are Mugat2, a slave to the underworld who is trying to desperately escape via a hot air balloon.  Tap the screen to stay afloat, and tilt and turn your device to avoid the sharp objects falling from above.  Power-ups and other non-sharp obstacles litter the screen, so you must be nimble.  The game features OpenFeint integration as well. Hot Air: Pocket Devil is available for free for the next week. It has a three-star rating. FUP ($.99 -> Free): A colorful puzzle game where you need to fill each shape on the board with a color, but the trick is that not a single shape can touch another of the same color.   The game features 50 levels, progressive difficulty, two modes of play and online leaderboards. FUP is available for free for a limited time. It has a three-star rating. Universal: Tumult ($.99 -> Free): Make art come to life with the tips of your fingers.  Like the now popular Uzu, just touch the screen and watch what happens to the particles.  Multiple fingers, movements, taps and location of touches creates different patterns and effects.  Options can be configured to create even more different effects, like neon color cycles, line trails, dots, blur and smear. Tumult is available for free until August 1, 2010. It has a four-and-a-half-star rating. iPad only: Zen Garden HD ($.99 -> Free): A relatively basic app that allows you to relax in your very own zen garden.  A single finger creates a large and deep line in the sand, while two fingers creates a rake-like effect.  To start anew, shake your device. Zen Garden HD is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time. It has a three-star rating. Flashcards for iPad ($5.99 -> Free): A a collection of learning tools and games for preschoolers (age 2-5).  Contains over 230 flashcards from various categories -- animals, transport, bodies, alphabets, numbers, shapes and colors -- all of which are drawn by hand.  It features hundreds of audio files produced by professional sound engineers to help your children along, and simple navigation.  Other languages are available via in-app purchase, helping teach your children a second language. Flashcards for iPad is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time. It doesn't currently have a rating. Recorder HD ($.99 -> Free): Allows you to record audio memos on your iPad and then send them via email.  It is also able to compress recordings as m4a files, so they can be shared with anyone who uses iTunes. Recorder HD is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time.  It has a three-star rating. Developers: If you are a developer who would like to get your app included in our “Apps Gone Free” daily lists, here’s our basic set of rules:
  • The app must be free for at least one whole day.
  • It must have at least a three-star rating at the time it goes free.
  • The app must not have been free numerous times (3+) over the last six months.
    To submit an app, simply send a request to tyler@appadvice.com with the subject “Apps Gone Free.”  Please include the name of the app, a link to it in the App Store, when you intend to offer the app for free and anything else you would like to share.  We will take it from there.
