How to Make Money From a Free iPhone App

If you look in the app store you will find tons of free apps. Some may think that free apps are a waste of time but I assure you they can definitely lead to financial success with your other apps.

Use this price point when you are trying to:

- Build your app development portfolio.
If your just starting out in iPhone development, this would be a great way to showcase your skills and let others know that you are fully capable of developing quality iPhone applications.

- Release a trial version which could lead to paid version sales.
This can be extremely effective for cheap games, that have addictive properties. If you let people get a taste of your app and they enjoy it, it is very common for them to want more and be than happy to purchase the full paid version.

- Supporting another product.
If you sell a service and want to offer additional ways to use that product. Building a free iPhone app is a great way to increase customer usage.

- Generating a base for future sales conversion.
The more people use your apps, they more likely they are going to buy one in the future.

- Use it for advertising
This can be extremely lucrative if your app is downloaded enough. There are also a lot of services available now that makes advertising in your app easier than ever.

Free apps are definitely capable of generating income, you just need to know when to use them.

Image via CrunchBase

Not enough space on your iPhone for all your music? Need more storage for your tiny netbook hard drive? ZumoDrive promises to solve conundrums like these by keeping your files in the cloud but making them accessible in real-time, just as though they were local. Inother words, it's a virtual hard drive that lives online.

When you install the Windows or Mac client, ZumoDrive adds this virtual drive to your system, complete with prefab folders for music, photos, and documents. Just drag and drop your stuff to one of these folders (or create new ones--remember, the virtual drive works just like a regular drive) to copy it to the ZumoDrive cloud.

From there, you can access those files in any Web browser or on any PC that has the ZumoDrive client installed. There's also a free iPhone app that lets you retrieve documents, photos, and music (which you can stream over 3G, EDGE, or Wi-Fi--a great workaround for memory-crunched devices). An Android version is coming soon.

live quitline coach and uses live text to advice on how to kick the butt.

Developed by The George Washington University’s School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS) and the National Tobacco Cessation Collaborative (NTCC), “ My QuitLine ” app also provides evidence-based treatment for quitting.

It connects the user to the National Cancer Institute’s quitline service where they speak to a live quitline coach or use live text to get advice on quitting.

GW’s Dr. Lorien Abroms, assistant research professor in the Department of Prevention and Community Health, designed the app with feedback from the NTCC, after reading an NTCC report about the lack of iPhone apps that link smokers to proven therapies.

“Quitline counseling has been shown to double a person’s chance of quitting smoking. It is important to make sure that in these new media environments, people still receive information about what has been proven to work in quitting smoking, and get access to tools that are based on these proven therapies,” said Abroms.

Users can look for the app by searching “ My QuitLine ” or “quit smoking” on their iPhone or on iTunes.

iPhone App makes time lapse photography easy

iPhone TimeLapse Test from digitalurban on Vimeo.

Here's a fun application. TimeLapse [App Store link] uses your iPhone's camera to take photos at regular intervals. You can have one photo snapped as infrequently as every 24 hours, or as often as every 10 seconds, which is about as fast as it can snap and store a photo. After you've collected all of your photos (I told it to stop after 300), you can easily dump them into iMovie or QuickTime Pro and make a simple time lapse movie. Neat!

Coolest Free iPhone Games and Applications

One of the things I like best about my iPhone is that I can get all sorts of games and applications for free off the iTunes store. Like most things in life, not all apps are created equal and if you have been on the lookout for some quality free games and applications for your iPhone, I am going to run down a few of my favorites here.

Fandango Movie App

I like to go to the movies, but I don't like to have to wait on the phone to get movie times if I am not near a computer to check online. I downloaded the new Fandango application for the iPhone and if you are a movie fan, you need to grab the app too.

Using the application you can put in your zip code or allow the app to find your location. After your location is entered, the application will show you nearby movie theaters along with movie times. If the theater participates, you can even buy movie tickets right from the application with your credit card and avoid the lines. Movie times are accurate and the application is very easy to use. Fans can also rate movies via the application.

Darts

One of the games I often play when I am sitting in the line to pick my son up from school is a darts game from Brian Hammond, which you can get more details on from dartsapp. The game is simple enough and offers practice and play versus AI modes. When playing the AI you can choose from beginner, intermediate, and master skill levels. Two game types are offered including X01 and Cricket.

Free iPhone App: Etch a Sketch Lite

As a lot of physical toys, games, and generally fun stuff is getting ported on to the iPhone and iPod Touch, and it seems that developers are all too willing to add to that list. Every once in a while, though, between the salt shaker App and the paper clip App, comes a great App that makes you think all those other failed Apps were worth it. One App that can truly live up to that is Etch a Sketch, and it’s free counterpart Etch a Sketch Lite. Derived from the popular children’s drawing game, the App is now tearing up the App market and people’s devices everywhere. The developer is game developing company Freeze Tag Inc.

We weren’t expecting much when we downloaded this App. Basically an etch a sketch that had been directly ported into the Apple interface. If we were excited to play that, imagine our reaction when we learned that Freeze Tag Inc. had went the extra mile and added a whole host of extra features, even for the free version. These features were built on top of the already popular Etch a Sketch interface, and added a whole host of options to the game. Some examples of the great add-ons include the ability to change the colour of the frame of the Etch a Sketch, the ability to add a background, the ability to choose from many different colours and brush types, and the ability to save your picture and load it up for later.

Deal or No Deal Lite

More and more corporations are trying to break into the lucrative industry of iPhone and iPod Touch games these days, and the giant media conglomerates aren’t far behind the pack! Deal or No Deal, the extremely popular game show, is now porting its hallmark game format into the App Store, with the release of Deal or No Deal, and its free counterpart, Deal or No Deal Lite. The game was created for iPhone and iPod Touch by iPlay, a games development company.

This game comes from (what we believe to be) an affiliate of a multi-billion dollar corporation, so we expect big things from it. At first glance, it sure seems to live up to those expectations. The game opens up to quick question, giving you 10 seconds to decide whether you would like sound turned off or on. I don’t this was particularly necessary, as the iPhone and iPod Touch have built in functions for turning the sound on and off, and this could have been done using an in-game button, but oh well. Next, the game jumps right into the content, but with a new mode of gameplay. Instead of only having one million dollar case, half of all the cases are a million dollars. We found this made the game too easy to win, and in our eyes, made it less fun. We also found some parts of the game very slow, and we’re hoping that iPlay can fix it up for the next release.
