The most appealing thing about the iTunes App Store over all its competitors is the fact that a number of pretty great apps keep going completely free from time to time, something which is rather uncommon in almost every other platform. We mentioned this earlier as well, that it helps the developers take advantage of the sale boost to increase their app’s popularity and hopefully get better sales statistics when the price goes back to normal. However, on the flipside, for bargain hunters like us, that provides a wonderful opportunity to get great apps for the wonderful price of free. Since we’ve lately taken it upon us to share these great catches with you as well, continue past the break for our today’s pick of apps that are available to download absolutely free.
Photo Transfer WiFi ($2.99 – FREE / iPhone and iPad)
The first one today is an app that would normally set you back by $2.99 in the App Store. Photo Transfer WiFi, as the name implies, allows wireless and hassle-free photo transfers between your iDevice and a PC / Mac. The app supports video sync as well, and enables photo transfers between various iPhones and iPads as well, among several other offerings. Since it’s a universal app, you get it just once and then expand it to all your iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.

A simple note taking app with a real nostalgic feel – Classic Notes is a note collector with an interface reminiscent of the earlier days of the Macintosh.
