Apps That
Went Free on
2016-10-10

Apps that allow you to superimpose photos are usually cumbersome, but not Union. That’s what makes it so great. Just choose a background photo, solid color, or transparent layer. Then choose a foreground photo, solid color, or shape. You’re able to erase parts of the foreground image in order to get it to fit. Then adjust the colors, position, and size to perfectly blend the two together.

DotSpace can be used as a shopping list, task manager, habit tracker, and even a mind-mapper. Its simple two-button interface allows it to be anything you need it to be. Simply hold your finger on the screen to create a new item. The new item can take on one of three different shapes and 27 different colors. After an item has been created, you can drag and drop it anywhere on the screen. This allows you to group items together however you like.

Choose any one of the 35 fantastic notebook styles, and then add text notes, audio memos, location data, and images. Notebooks can be renamed, passcode locked, rearranged, and backed up and restored via Dropbox. The app also includes the ability to bookmark notes, view all of the notes from all of your notebooks at once, and share notes via Twitter, SMS, or email.

Widget Calendar does one thing and it does it very well. It’s able to grab all of the events from your calendar and neatly display them on your lock screen. Just make sure to add the widget by scrolling to the very bottom of the view and tapping on the Edit button. The calendar is completely interactive, allowing you to tap on days to reveal more information. You’re also able to open your calendar with a tap.

You’re put in control of the vessel as it speeds down a roller coaster-like track at high speeds. Tap on the sides of the screen to steer. Each gate passed through counts as one point. You’ll have to anticipate bends, banks, and jumps in order to stay on track. If you do leave the track, all is not lost. Try to guide the vessel through the air and back onto the track before it’s too late.
