Three-day weekend, woo! Whether you're heading outside to celebrate the start of summer, or holing up inside hiding from the utterly weird weather so many of us are having right now, we found an app you might like to get. And they're all on sale!
Hey, word nerds! Scrabble for iPad is $4.99, down from the usual $9.99. It's well designed and fun, with single- and multiplayer options -- you can even play against Facebook friends who don't have iPads. They just play on Facebook. So it's a great pickup whether you're headed to the beach or stuck inside on a rainy day.
Universal sci-fi tower defense game Sentinel 3: Homeworld received a big DLC content update just yesterday -- a 15-map campaign, a new Commander mech unit, plus new enemies and weapons. So there should be enough plenty to keep you busy all weekend. The main game usually costs $2.99, but it's down to $0.99 for a limited time, which saves you $2 to spend on the $1.99 expansion, available as an in-app purchase.
If you dig music apps on the iPad, Stealth Bee Jam isn't super serious, but it's on sale for free (regularly $2.99). It comes with two background tracks, a third you can grab for free, and more you can buy for 99 cents. Then you "jam along" to the background tracks by tapping buttons for prefabbed riffs or individual notes. It's light, but fun.
And if you've got fun holiday-weekend plans, grab a discounted copy of FX Photo Studio for your iPhone or iPod touch, and you can spice up all the photos you take of your adventures. It's got 187 filters, and can let you crop, rotate, and otherwise edit your pics too. It's just 99 cents at the moment, down from $1.99 regularly.
