Download your heart out: bargain bundles and free iPhone apps

Everybody loves a bargain – or getting something for free. So to make sure your Friday starts off with a bang, here are some deals worth cashing in on while the last.

bundleFirst up is this week’s Humble Weekly Sale, wherein the guys at Humble Bundle will let you pay what you want. That’s right, you can pay the miserly sum of 1 penny (around 10 South African cents) for the content. But don’t be a scrooge, because the money goes towards making sure more Humble Bundles can be offered in the future. The money also goes towards, you know, the contributors whose content is on offer.

This week’s bundle has eleven albums from the inimitable Jim Guthrie, the Canadian singer and songwriter who put together the soundtrack for indie game, Sword & Sworcery. Guthrie’s albums include his own published albums, for some folksy indie beats, as well as the soundtrack for the Sword & Sworcery. As always, the Humble Bundle guys have a bonus: if you pay more than the average amount (currently around $3.50, or R35) you’ll receive a Steam key to download Sword & Sworcery for PC. Even better, the bonus unlock includes a download for Indie Game: The Movie, a fascinating documentary about indie game developers, and the efforts they go to for crafting their interactive adventures.

Next up, there are some free iOS apps. Every week new apps are added to the iTunes Store, debuting with a promotional price of zero rands. Sometimes a few popular apps also go on sale, with their prices dropping from between R8 and R57, to – you guessed it – zero.

Unknown-4Filtermania – If you couldn’t bring yourself to pay a lot of money for an app that just adds filters to your photos, you’re in luck: Filtermania is now free. It offers more than 750 filters for applying to photos, each customisable, and is lauded for being more adaptable than Instagram.
