Who doesn’t perk up when they hear the word “free”?  Especially the words “free iPhone apps”!  Yeah, I know free apps are already showcased in iTunes, but iTunes doesn’t have a dedicated section of iPhone apps that were just reduced to $0… I thought that’d peak your interest!  Anyhoo, I was tipped off to a website called freeappalert whose only purpose is to advertise iPhone apps that were previously paid apps.

The site provides lists of iPhone apps by date (the current date is most prominent), category and previous App Store price.  It also links to the app in iTunes (requires iTunes) and has screen images from the app that will display at a larger size once you hover over it with your mouse.  They also provide various ways to be alerted of new free apps by offering an RSS feed, email subscription, or you can become a friend on Facebook.  I found that one of the easiest ways for me to stay in the know is to follow them on Twitter.  That way I can receive their notifications as a “tweet”!

I personally haven’t found any apps that I want to install on my iPhone yet, but I’m not discounting their presence.  I’m going to keep them on my radar and [of course] publish a new blog post when I find that, “Oh so irresistible” iPhone app.  Check out their website and let me know if you found an app that you think deserves a mention.  I’ll try just about anything, especially if it’s FREE!
