There is nothing more exciting today than the fact that our Mac|Life app for the iPhone has had a huge revamp. The app includes new features like the ability to browse our feeds for individual story categories and keep up with our Twitter feed straight from the app. You can also share Mac|Life stories to Facebook, Twitter or through email and "like" individual articles to bookmark them for later. Best of all, all of our galleries and videos are available through the app, so you no longer have to launch Mobile Safari to watch The Mac|Life Show.

There are so many games in the iTunes App Store that sometimes it's really hard to figure out what to download and what's worth playing. There's also the dilemma of the age old adage that if it isn't broken, there's no point in fixing it. And, well, so many game companies have already perfected the kind of games we're looking for, so why bother looking anywhere else? Well, I can answer this one for you: do the words "free" ring a bell?

If you wish you had a free alternative to popular games like Plants vs. Zombies and Bubble Bobble, you're in luck! I've found exactly what you're looking for. Maybe. Take a look for yourself after the cut and save a couple of bucks on all those big blockbuster games with these free alternatives. Because you can't spell "free" without the "f" from "fun", right? Glad we're all in accordance here.

The other day on Twitter, I lamented about how hard it was for me to get over my shyness and say hello to my mat neighbor in yoga class. And then I realized it's because everything I know about being social I learned from Twitter and Facebook. And then I got a little sad when I realized that's what my generation has come to. But that's alright, because I suppose that just gives me more of a reason to use my iOS devices, right? So I can stay friends with the few people I've met IRL? Oh crap, I'm using acronyms now. I've become the problem.

So, anyway, welcome to Free App Friday. And here are three social apps to help you stay in touch with friends.

The worst part about living in a city is that if you plan on driving anywhere, you'll have to factor in 40 extra minutes to find a spot, successfully parallel park and then walk the three blocks it takes to get to your destination. Fortunately, iOS apps are good for this, and while you shouldn't be using your phone while you're driving, you could always double park, take a deep breath, and check to see your apps if you can find a solution.
