Today’s Best Free Apps

Editor’s Pick: Pocket (Formerly Read It Later)

Pocket (Formerly Read It Later) Universal (Optimized for both the iPad and iPhone) (4.5 stars with 9255 Ratings)
$2.99 → Free
 

Fans of the popular bookmarking app Read It Later will be pleased to hear that the app is about to sport some impressive updates, as well as a new name.
 
Read It Later, for the uninitiated, was a tool that enabled one-click bookmarking of web content to be read later on smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets (iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire), or your computer. It came in two iterations, free and pro versions; with the former containing the aforementioned abilities, and the latter giving you the ability to share your content on social networks, as well as full screen mode reading.
 
Well now everything has changed, and…(More)

If you’re ever the type to have to present something to an audience, today’s free app for the iPhone and iPad, called Presentation Link, is one worth checking out.
 
While the apps vary between the two devices to some degree, the same features are, for the most part, present in both iterations. Presentation Link is a great tool to help you give those slide-laden presentations that can often be a boring chore to figure out how to make happen, logistically. Now you can have the control in the palm of your hands with this app. If you don’t want to drop the cash for apps like Keynote, this one should more than do the job for you. Create your presentations with high res images and videos, link to additional info through the in-app browser, set hyperlinks, quickly jump to relevant slides, and so much more. There’s really not much of a knock you could find with this app, and it’s one that every speaker should check out.

Slow Message

Slow Message iPhone OS (4 stars with 48 Ratings)
$0.99 →Free
 

Slow Message is an app that helps you send emails that will arrive at a specific point in time later on, whether it be just a few days, a few weeks, months, or even years. All you have to do is draft the email when it comes to mind, send it off, and then not worry one lick about when it gets there, as it will deliver it within the timeframe you specified. You see, one thing that’s very interesting about this app is it’s not an exact science. The definitions of time are loosely defined, meaning that if you set up an email to be delivered within seven days, it could be delivered in one day or seven days. It’s an interesting concept that has its advantages. While it can’t be used for exact purposes, it can be used to send a message to a special someone for romantic reasons, maybe to remind yourself of something you wanted to do with your life, and other possible reasons.

If you’re a fan of boring, simple, and plain games that don’t get exciting, then keep looking. But if you’re a fan of high octane, super duper fast paced gaming that will get your heart pumping, then we have just the app for you. It’s called FlyBoy and it’s currently free for the iPhone in the App Store for a limited time.
 
FlyBoy is the kind of game that you can’t just put down after a few tries. The premise is simple, yet mind-numbingly challenging. You play a parachuting daredevil who has to skydive (fall, really) his way through various dangers and pitfalls, any of which could easily bring about his demise if he isn’t smooth and careful on his descent. Twist, turn, and roll your way through cavernous locations, fiery depths and dangers, and other perilous sights untold as you attempt to make it safely through the increasingly difficult levels. The game sports great gameplay with wonderful graphics, and is an absolute delight to not only play, but just look at.

Fans of match-3 games will be delighted with today’s free app for the iPhone. It’s called Icelide, and it sports a challenging, yet simple approach to the genre.
 
Icelide comes with three different types of modes to play: balance ((with 64 stages and 8 missions), blaster (contains an infinite mode for endless challenges), and time attack (achieve as high of a score as you can within a given amount of time). As you progress, you’ll notice some of the six different skill blocks that get progressively stronger as you break them. The game has excellent graphics for its type, with decent and entertaining sounds and animation.

In Feed That Dragon, you’re goal is to…well, feed that dragon. How you do so, though, is by a series of intricate and physics based tricks. McDuff is your man who holds the food, and you have him release the dragon food across an elaborate set of obstacles, curves, loops, and more, all so the food can get into the dragon’s mouth. You can even move around certain objects to see how efficiently you can get the food to its intended destination, collecting all 3 stars along the way. Feed That Dragon really shines with its crisp, colorful graphics, fluid animation, and entertainingly simple gameplay that will keep you going for hours.

Take aim and try to knock all of the monsters out, but if you miss more than three, don’t count on any rewards.
