Apps That
Went Free on
2015-01-14

We have something for everyone in this Wednesday edition of AppsGoneFree. If you only check out one app today, make it Pry. It has never been available for free before, and it tells its story in a very unique way.

The Wonder Cat

Futujoy

Help The Wonder Cat find his way home in this ridiculously colorful platformer.

It’s a fun pick-up-and-play game suitable for gamers of all ages.

FREE ($1.99) For a limited time FREE ($1.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

The Wonder Cat is one charming little feline. Even though he’s lost in an untamed land, he always has a smile on his face. He will run along all on his own, so it’s up to you to navigate the platforms with perfectly timed jumps. Try to collect the flowers, stars, and random items the birds carry in to earn new powers and even ride along on friendly creatures. The game includes two distinct modes, and loads of challenges to take on.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, vibrant gaming environment to escape within, The Wonder Cat has it. It’s one of the more charming arcade games you’ll play this week.

The Wonder Cat is intended for quick gaming sessions since it doesn’t have a lot of depth. If you’re after something more challenging, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

Why we picked this?

After logging in with your credentials, you’re able to quickly glance at the most important Google Analytics stats like visitors, unique visitors, and where your traffic arrived from. You’re also able to view detailed stats in infographic form with a double-tap, and you can view graphs and social stats by rotating your iDevice left and right. The app includes two themes to choose from, the ability to reorder your sites, and the ability to share data via Facebook.

If you need to check your website stats on a daily basis, Analytiks will make it much easier. Especially on the eyes.

If you need to track more than eight different websites, you’re going to have to punk down $0.99. Analytiks won’t allow you to track any more than that without the in-app purchase.

Experience a story like no other in this highly interactive digital book.

Pry is for those open to new reading experiences.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

There’s nothing else like Pry in the entire App Store. It tells the tale of James, a demolition expert who has returned home from war only to have his vision fail him and his past haunt him. You’re able to experience his life by pulling open his eyes, tearing apart his memories, and trying to grasp his streaming thoughts. That all may sound rather obscure, but trust us, it’s worth the ride.

If you enjoy new entertainment mediums, you have to check out Pry. The way the content is presented is absolutely fantastic.

If you prefer classic stories, just stick with your books. This is part movie, part book, and part adventure game.

Quickly add notes to Evernote with SnapEntry.

It’s great for heavy Evernote users.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

SnapEntry offers the fastest way to take and add notes to Evernote. The moment you launch SnapEntry, you’ll be brought to the note creation screen. A custom bar across the top of your keyboard allows you to instantly add checkboxes, bullets, time stamps, and tags. It also allows you to send notes to Evernote with a single tap. SnapEntry is loaded with other great features like TextExpander support, reminders, URL scheme support, and undo and redo.

If you upload a lot of notes to Evernote, this is the app for you. It allows you to quickly record your thoughts and then send them away with a tap.

Although you can utilize SnapEntry as a simple note taking app, it’s really not what it was designed for. It’s all about the Evernote integration.

LensFlare Optical Effects

Bring some life to your photos by adding realistic lens flares with this stunning effects app.

It’s for those that like to fiddle with photography effects.

$4.99 $4.99
Why we picked this?

The effects in LensFlare are so realistic, your audience won’t even know they were added after the fact. You’re able to choose from more than 55 types of lens flares, all of which can be repositioned with true-to-life results. Flares can also be layered on top of each other to create something totally unique. But a good effects app isn’t any good without photo editing options, but don’t worry, LensFlare has you covered with the ability to adjust brightness, tint, and aspect ratio.

If you’ve always felt your photos have been missing something, this is it. LensFlare’s effects are top notch, and they won’t distract from the rest of your photo.

The amount of available effects and ways to apply them can be daunting, so if you don’t have the time to fiddle with your photos, this isn’t the app for you.
