Today’s Apps Gone Free: eXtra Voice Recorder, Rane, Runtastic Heart Rate and More
iPhone:
Rane was designed with simplicity in mind. It provides you with the most relevant weather information, so you can just get on with your day. The temperature and other data points are displayed as dots at the top of the screen. Swipe left to right to access additional weather data like dew point, ozone level, wind speed, humidity, and sunrise and sunset times. You’re able to cycle through the information with a tap on the icons.
RANE° – Minamalist Weather is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 7 ratings.
When measuring your heart rate, just place your index finger over your iDevice’s LED flash and camera. The app will display your current BPM in real-time during the test. When the test is complete, you’ll have the chance to record when you measured your heart rate, how you felt, and attach any other details. Results can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, or email. The app also includes a daily reminder option, and history that can be filtered.

Universal:
Sometimes the simplest apps can be the best. Magnifier Flash proves that point. It allows you to zoom in on your subject at up to 6x magnification, and you can light it up with your iDevice’s LED flash. You can even snap a photo of what you’re looking at while zoomed in to save it for later.
Magnifier Flash is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 320 ratings.
The app provides you with full control over every aspect of your recordings. While recording you’re able to add comments, bookmark important sections, and even sync photos with sections. You can then go back through your recordings to split, trim, and remove unwanted sections. All of your recordings are stored locally, but you can also upload them to your favorite cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Evernote. Recordings can also be resumed at any time, shared, and searched for by title or comments.
eXtra Voice Recorder – Record, Add Notes & Photos is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 111 ratings.

The game includes five worlds to explore, multiple characters to unlock, power-ups, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
Dino Rush is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 5105 ratings.
