Apple is offering 50 percent off a range of productivity apps as part of a "Get Productive" iOS App Store promotion that's taking place this week. Each app is available at a 50 percent discount from its regular App Store pricing. Many well-known apps like Clear, Things, Drafts 4, and Deliveries are included in the promotion.

Available apps cover a wide range of productivity tasks, from note-taking and editing PDFs to creating to-dos, making scans, converting currency, and more. A full list of apps and their pricing with the discount is below:

- PDF Expert 5, a PDF editing tool - $4.99
- Duet Display, for using an iPad or iPhone as a second monitor - $7.99
- Things, a popular and powerful to-do app - $4.99
- PCalc, a calculator app - $4.99
- Clear, a list making app - $1.99
- Drafts 4, a quick note-taking app - $4.99
- Prizmo, a scanning app - $4.99
- Moleskine Timepage, a calendar app - $1.99
- Genius Scan+, a scanning app - $2.99
- Due, a reminders/timers app - $2.99
- Deliveries, a package tracking app - $1.99
- Carbo, an app for making handwritten notes - $3.99
- Numerics, an app for visualizing numbers in charts and widgets - $4.99
- Amount Plus, a unit and currency converter - $0.99

Some of these apps have Mac counterparts that are also being offered at a 50 percent discount, including PCalc, Things, Clear, and Prizmo.

Apple's App Store promo sales often last from Thursday to Thursday, so these discounts should be available for the next six days.

In a separate sale, password management app 1Password for Mac is available from the Mac App Store at a 50 percent off discount, dropping the price to $24.99. This is the lowest price AgileBits has offered for several months, and at $24.99, 1Password is well worth picking up. The iOS app is a free download.

Any reason to get PDF Expert if I already have Notability? Also, what's the benefit of Numerics over an app like Numbers? Thanks! :D

I always have grand expectations of how productivity apps will change my life and then I just completely forget about them and never use them.

Bah.

That says more about the user than the app. Many apps I use make my life much easier. If your life is easy enough and doesn't need any productivity help, then terrific for you (not that I believe you for a millisecond). But don't bash the apps.

I entered this thread thinking that there was no way anyone could come up with a way to bash it. I was wrong.

That Duet Display Icon and that PDF Expert 5 Icon side by side .... man both looking bad in their own way. One is just white and a letter, the other one features a weird color scheme and a confusing logo..

Are you seriously bashing over two icons that happen to be side by side? Oh my. I use PDF Expert all the time and not once have I dwelled on the icon. It's completely irrelevant, unless of course one's life makes it relevant and important.

What's wrong with him sharing his opinion exactly? It's like saying "I was coming into this thread hoping no one would be an Apple fan-boy and love every app, but I was wrong"...

I tend to purchase apps on sale that I end up barley using.. But there are some real great apps on sale here so I bought Deliveries as my previous go-to app for delivery tracking, Posted, is no longer being maintained.

I also grabbed Duet as that something I might actually end up using. Things is also a awesome tool, better than things like Wunderlist in many regards but it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is, especially when you can grab Wunderlist for free, have everything synchronized between devices and it offers client for iOS, Mac and Windows and you won't need to pay for the app on any of the platforms.

I do normally pay for superior products but the advantages Things offer compared to Wunderlist gets completely butchered by their horrendous price model.'


EDIT:

Forgot to mention 1Password. I already use the services so I'm all covered but it's the best password manager available after LastPass got purchased by LogMeIn. Their Windows application could use a better UX-design but that's pretty much all the negative I can say about 1Password.

I really like Duet but my 13" mid-2013 MBA gets pretty hot when using it. Even on the low image quality settings. Gotta admit I'm very sensitive to it, though.
 
Just a heads up if anyone has an college email address or college ID you can get 1password from AgileBits directly for $19.99 (instead of $24.99 like on the App Store) or both a Mac & Windows license for $24.99: https://agilebits.com/store/educational

*** Note the current 1password version 6 bought directly from AgileBits can sync with iCloud just like the Mac App Store version does.

PDF Expert and duet are fantastic for anyone on the fence. PDF Expert combined with Scanner Pro are a lifesaver if you need to scan and send paperwork. Too bad Scanner Pro isn't part of the deal

Duet pays for itself just to be able to have a second monitor for my Mac when I want it.

Have you ever tried this program for the heat your MBA puts out works for my mid 2012 MBP just a thought. smcFanControl
 
Surprised DuetDisplay isn't given the same treatment as that night shift thingie...

Must be a system-intensive task... or if the problem isn't repeatable then you might have a faulty fan. Have you run smcfancontrol or any temperature monitoring devices?

Exclamation point as in happy at others' misfortune? Or just sarcasm?

College students already have enough problems with insanely high tuition costs. I imagine a paper and pencil will be cheaper to maintain. :(
 
1Password is pricey, but I have never regretted the money I spent on it. My only wish is that they didn't make me buy a version for every platform.
 
WOW!

Perfect timing! I've finally (well almost - I'm carrying it about so I don't get in any hot-water) DITCHED the BlackBerry 10 device!

I just bought a sweetly used iPhone 6 128GB space grey this past Friday and been looking at purchasing Things! today and low and behold savings. Most importantly as CAN vs US dollar is taking a HUGE beating $1US = $1.45CAN! First time since 2003 (2 days ago).

Good mention ... however, Wunderlist Pro = $72/yr ... Things! is $5US done and Done and DONE! This is the equal features. I'll check out Wunderlist but will also be purchasing Things! just in case.

Deliveries is a must have if you always buy things online. Tracks packages with ease.

Bonus thank you for the tip!

THIS is why I LOVED and still LOVE IOS! I had used Things! under a previous account back when iPhone 3GS was new ... and today works the SAME as expected ... screw learning curves!

iOS Learn once, get what you expected as advertised and works as it should and always wilL!
