Today’s Apps Gone Free: Push, oO, Star Rover and More
iPhone:
To search the sky, just hold your iPhone up in the air and Star Rover will tell you what you’re looking at. The app is able to calculate all objects in the sky in real-time, resulting in moon phases, planet positions, stars, and other objects appearing just the same as the real ones. Star Rover includes 120,000 stars, all 88 constellations, planets and their moons, the ability to manually search the sky, and detailed info for all items.
Star Rover – Stargazing Guide is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 658 ratings.
Universal:
GiftBuster is all about convenience. It makes it easy to show your friends and family what you want and need. Simply find the item you want via the browser, copy it from someone else, or add it manually. Friends and family will be able to see exactly what you want and choose to buy the gift for you. GiftBuster also allows you to create fundraisers for things like your dream gifts or travel, and friends and family can chip in whatever they can afford instead of purchasing the entire thing.
Wishlist – Christmas List is available for free for a limited time. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 339 ratings.
Push will help you unwind after a hard day. It’s a game without any points to accumulate, stars to obtain, or tutorials to play through. All you have to do is press buttons and figure out how to keep them all depressed. It doesn’t matter how many button presses or the amount of time it takes you. Just enjoy the ride.
“PUSH” is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 113 ratings.
Don’t let the minimalist graphics fool you, this is one difficult game. You’re put in control of a little white ball as it spins round and round circles. Each circle is interconnected, allowing you to move from one to another by tapping to shift from the inside to the outside. If you mistime your tap, your white ball will be placed at the nearest checkpoint. Things get really complicated when spikes are introduced, requiring you to constantly move in and out of circles to avoid certain death.
oO is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 44 ratings.
