5 awesome paid iPhone apps that are free for a limited time

Friday… what better day is there to enjoy some awesome paid apps that have just been made available for free for a limited time? To be fair, every day is a good day for an app sale, and we try to point out great apps that go one sale as often as we can. Today we have some particularly nifty options for you and as always, if you see anything that looks appealing you should click through the download link and grab it as soon as you can. These are all limited-time sales and there’s no telling when they’ll be over.

Living Planet

We covered an app like this once before here on BGR called Tiny Planet. Unlike that app, however, Living Planet is free right now.

For the first time ever, on any platform, you can now create jaw-dropping tiny planet videos!

- Transform your videos into living, breathing tiny planets
- Choose the wormhole option for an inverted effect
- Photos are also supported
- Apply 40 expertly crafted filters
- Monitor video processing frame-by-frame
- Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
- From the creators of ProCam, Stackables and PhotoFusion

Visit our Instagram feed @livingplanetapp for demo videos and photos.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Maximum output resolution is 2000×2000 (4MP) for photos and 640×640 for videos.

Living Planet uses advanced algorithms to convert frames on the pixel level into stereographic projections. This, combined with our state-of-the-art blending technique achieves in seconds what would take hours to produce manually in Photoshop for a photo, while videos are transformed in minutes. All devices running iOS 7 are supported, but processing times vary.

Living Planet is normally $0.99.

Kruptos

Formerly called iClean, Kruptos by Monkey Taps is a great app for people concerned with privacy and security.

As you surely already know, files aren’t actually “deleted” when you delete them. Instead, the storage space occupied by those files is made available for overwriting and old data remains in place until new files occupy that storage space.

Since files are not really erased when they’re deleted, they can be recovered fairly easily with the proper tools.

Kruptos ensures that this deleted-but-not-erased data cannot be accessed by encrypting all of the “empty” space in your iPhone or iPad’s memory. It also offers a second encryption mode for even more security.

This great app is always a bargain at $0.99, but right now it’s free for a limited time.

Apply styles quickly and adjust infinitely. Download free new styles to your heart’s content from the online Style Library, with new styles added regularly.
