Most of these apps look as though they would take some vision to work with, 
but I thought I would share them anyway.

5 Awesome Temporarily free iOS Apps

Christmas has come early for iPad and iPhone users as the iOS App Store is 
getting bombarded with free and reduced price apps in anticipation for the 
holiday rush. Here’s a quick roundup of five temporarily free iOS apps that 
are all amazingly high quality, and well worth their full prices, making 
their temporary free tag an absolute steal.

It’s not entirely clear how long these apps will be free for, but many will 
probably only last about 12 hours, so act quick. Remember, even if you don’t 
want the apps right now, you can always start the download and stop it 
immediately to save it to your iTunes Account, thereby allowing future free 
downloads of that app again in the future. This is a great trick to build a 
huge library of apps that may be fun or useful sometime in the future.

1: The Elements: A Visual Exploration (free, usually $13.99)
Science! This is an outrageously beautiful in-depth exploration of the 
periodic table of elements, packed with facts, photos, details, and so much 
more. Whether you are a student or educator actively studying the periodic 
table of elements or just someone with the vaguest of curiosities about the 
elements that make up our universe, this app is just plain fascinating, and 
an absolute steal for being free. It works for iPhone and iPad, though it 
really shines on the iPad.

2: Angry Birds Star Wars II (free, usually $0.99)
It’s got all the addictive properties of Angry Birds, with a unique blend of 
Star Wars elements and characters. Basically, it’s really fun and a great 
time waster, whether it’s on your iPhone or iPad.

3: Vjay (free, usually $9.99 – iPad only)
Vjay is a music and video mixing app that is easy to use and lets you get 
pretty creative, making music videos and remixes with relative ease. It’s 
one of those apps that you have to try out to really get, and there’s no 
better time to try it now that it’s temporarily free.

4: Inspire Pro (free, usually $4.99)
Inspire Pro is a gem of a drawing, painting, and sketching app for the iPad. 
Complete with a gazillion tools, realistic blending effects, color mixing, 
and so much more, this app is a must-have for creatives, artists, or even 
those just wanting to try there hand at digital art. Whether you’re 
artistically inclined or not at all like me, you should have fun playing 
around with this one. It’s one of my personal favorites (alongside Paper and 
Procreate), and well worth a spot on every iPad.

5: LostWinds (free, usually $3.99)
LostWinds is a fun platformer for iOS that combines exploration, puzzles, 
and sidescroller combat. If you’re a gamer it’s definitely worth checking 
out, and works great on either iPad or iPhone / iPod touch.

6? Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic… not free but it’s $5
OK one last mention… and it’s not free, but if you like excellent gaming 
with a great story line, RPG’s, and the Star Wars universe, it’s hard to 
beat the epic bioware classic “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic”, it’s 
on sale for half off ($5 rather than $10) for either iOS or OS X – these 
aren’t even affiliate links, it’s just a fun game that Star Wars & RPG 
lovers should get the chance to play. If you’re debating between getting 
KOTOR for a Mac or iOS device, the Mac version generally looks better on new 
hardware and, perhaps more importantly, the desktop version supports 
gamepads, which to some may be preferential to using the touchscreen 
controls in iOS.

As mentioned earlier, there are tons of other great app discounts and 
freebies out there for a limited time, browse around the App Stores for iOS 
and OS X, or check out a site like AppShopper to track them down all in one 
place.
