Did I just hear you say free?

Yep, you sure heard it.  Free.  Free apps.  Sometimes we just don't have any money to spare for those developers at Apple.  But thankfully, there's an app for that.  Well, actually there are many, but I only use a couple (I will discuss one now and one in a later post).  Don't worry though, there is nothing illegal about Apps Gratis!  All it does is provide a list of paid apps that for some reason have become free for a day, and it sends you alerts to remind you to check and see what has become free.  What I like most about this app is that it is organized in a very user-friendly way.  There are no ads or confusing buttons, and also the app does not pick out random horrible apps that have become free; rather, it selects unique, more popular and creative apps that are more likely to interest you.  Also, this app has other features, including a list of apps whose prices have been lowered. And best of all, Apps Gratis is free too!  Here are some screenshots for you:

You've Got to Have a Calendar!

I know, you're probably thinking "The iPhone comes with a calendar!"  However, as you might already know, Apple's calendar app is very frustrating and not intuitive at times.  Out of the many calendar apps I have tried, I would say that the best one has been Easy Calendar, available in the app store for $1.99, but well worth the money.  In short, the name says it all.  Really.  This extremely intuitive app lets you view the week or month as a whole, and it is very easy to add events.  Easy Calendar is much easier to use than the default calendar app, and I would recommend it to anyone, busy schedule or not. Here are some pictures of the app:
