Please note – Most of these apps have free or “Lite” versions, yet they only give you a preview of what the app is capable of doing. I highly encourage you to download the app should you like the “Lite” version, app developers are consistently working on improving their apps, making new apps, they provide support and are always happy to receive feedback and suggestions. I believe that with the free apps you are essentially getting what you pay for… Sometimes you get lucky but for the most part it is well worth spending a few dollars to get the full experience.
