Celebrate the App Store’s 5th Birthday with Free Apps from Apple
By Mike Flacy on July 8, 2013
Without much fanfare, Apple has quietly announced a promotion that discounts ten popular apps down to $0.00, likely through the App Store’s birthday on July 10, 2013. In addition, some other developers are getting in on the action by discounting their apps down to zero as well.
We have included a full list with links for your perusal. Check out the selection of free apps below:
App Store Productivity
- Barefoot World Atlas (iPhone / iPad) – Interactive 3D globe that allows the user to explore the regions and countries of the world.
- Day One Journal (iPhone / iPad) – A journal for your mobile device, sleek design. Syncs using iCloud or Dropbox.

App Store Games
