Always think of it as: you gave the developers what you think it's worth. That's very fair.

Got the iPhone version free via Starbucks. Use it often; mostly for mundane things (pancakes, crepes, etc.), very glad to have it. Now a full iPad version - nifty!
Very cool. I have the hardcopy of "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian", but it will be nice to have this one on the iPad.

My biggest knock against it is it's size. You can fit a lot of good games on there for a 1.2 GB install.
But free is free, I'll download it, uninstall it, and reinstall it when I buy a 32GB iPad in the fall. ^_^
Downloaded a bunch right now...MANY THANKS.
If I dislike them, i can delete them but always have an iCloud DL if wanted in the future.
I did buy Over and Tiny Wings and was actually thinking of BUYING Tiny Wings HD over the weekend...glad i waited

I never understood the sheep term. It start with being used on Mac users, despite it being the minority OS, and sheep follow the group.
Anyway, some good apps there that are either not ones I would usually go for, or had not heard of (Badland is the only game that falls there for me), but I welcome the opportunity to expand my horizons.
Happy Birthday App Store (for Wednesday)!
WOW This is just awesome!! The best thing is the only one I already own is Infinity Blade II. The others I never bought because they were too expensive! Great day! Thanks Apple!

Probably. So knowing this fact you will of course not be one of those jerks who declares folks idiots for having a different taste in games than you. It will be a refreshing change.
Oh my God, free stuff? First Apple screw us over by releasing new products, rendering my OLD 2005 PowerBook G4 COMPLETELY obsolete
Honestly, Apple's completely gone downhill since Steve died. Steve would never have allowed this. Tim Cook is a rubbish CEO. Apple should start innovating rather than spending their time in courtrooms. iOS 7 looks like it was designed by a child with crayons, whilst wearing oven gloves. Android rocks, Apple are just copying. Apple are doomed. /s
I think that's pretty much covered everything guys
VERY well done. Made my tough Monday morning a little more enjoyable
Just in case people are not aware, you can purchase the free app(s) on your iDevice and delete the app(s) while they are still downloading. This way you can just purchase the app for future use and not have it installed right away. Also by deleting while it's still downloading, you don't have to wait until it finishes (which is useful for larger apps). You just delete them like you normally do with any other app.

You really should have specified something about the Mac Pro, though. I know it was "covered", but it's a special case!
I had to get Traktor DJ. Tried it for free for a week while I had my iPad Jailbroken and loved it. Now I have it officially for free. It's such a fun app to mess with. I just couldn't afford the $20 price tag and then saw it free late last night.
Me too. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. I've been thinking of getting Tiny Wings for a while too.
Cha-ching!
I thank Macrumors crew for making us aware of that extraordinary opportunity.
I had been planning to buy especially Tiny Wings HD and Infinity Blade II for my "future" iPad. I saved some considerable amount of money. I will also give the other apps a try. They look amazing on the screenshots.
Thanks Apple, thanks Macrumors

Is it Apple making them free or is it the companies? I'm confused now. Wouldn't Apple making it free like stealing money from the companies that developed the apps?
