Black Friday App Sales

Sara — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:24:55 +0000

As you might expect, a lot of apps went on sale today. Some of the more exciting offerings I’ve seen for the day:

Shakespeare Pro – dropped from $10 to $7

PDF Expert – dropped from $10 to $7

Star Walk – dropped from $5 to $4

SketchBook Pro – dropped from $5 to $1 !! this is the cheapest the app has ever been

Art Authority – dropped from $10 to $5

and to fight off those holiday pounds, Gorilla Workout (no equipment or gym needed) dropped from $2 to $1

Remember, when you’re searching apps in the App Store to always get your apps from the top “iPad” section, not the bottom “iPhone” section.

Happy holidays!
