Apps That
Went Free on
2017-07-18

The world has fallen into darkness, and now society spends its time in quarantine. No one really questioned what happened out of fear of the unknown. But today is a different day. Today you’re going to explore what’s left of the world. Tap to move from corridor to corridor and inspect anything that catches your eye. You’re also able to have conversations with people and interact with them by playing cards. As you interact, you will be building your deck, which allows you to become more engaged during future events.

The days of switching between apps to calculate are over. Pluskey puts a calculator right into your keyboard along with a few commonly used emojis. Your calculations will appear in a black bar just below the text field. Tap on the black bar to insert calculations at any time.

You're able to add orbs to the scene by touching anywhere on the screen. You can also add orbs by tapping and flicking them, and then watch as they collide. Orbs respond to the tilt of your iPad as well. You're able to customize the color, type, size, bounce rate, and friction of your orbs to personalize your scene even further. The app comes preloaded with 20 scenes to get you started. It also includes support for up to 10 fingers on the screen at once, TV-out support, and the ability to save your favorite scenes.

GRIDy allows you to put the photos you love the most right on your lock screen. Create separate categories by giving them a title and choosing a grid size. Categories can include up to 18 photos or GIFs. Then add the widget to your lock screen. Each category can be expanded with a tap. Tap on a photo to get a full lock screen view of it, and you can pinch to zoom in even further. Categories and images themselves can be locked in order to keep them from prying eyes.

Data Widget is so simple yet so effective. Launch the app, set your data cap, set your start and end date, and record any usage you may already have. Then swipe down to bring up Notification Center and add the widget by tapping the “Edit” button found all the way at the bottom. After that, any time you want to check your current data usage in real-time, just swipe down. You can also now check your usage via Apple Watch.
