Have you ever been boggled by extremely long web links? Or have a friend complain that the link you sent does not work because it got mangled by the email program for being too long?

This app is for you. Squeezer takes a long URL (website link) and shrinks it and even allows you to conveniently post it to various places like Facebook and Twitter.

Squeezer is an essential tool for me when it comes to publishing AppTreats and I believe you will come to love it too!

Grab it while it’s FREE for a short time!

There are many free apps that allow a person to use their finger(s) to draw on their devices. The latest offering from the well-known brand Autodesk is an impressive addition to the family.

Autodesk Sketchbook MobileX is the free version that boasts professional features and felt very responsive to my touch. A single tap brings up a feature wheel that allows switching of drawing tools.

One reason why I love my iPhone is the way it makes it easy for me to do things that would normally be tedious. An example of this would be this very blog!

I write and maintain this blog completely from my iPhone, and today’s treat and trick showcases an app that is crucial to the blogging workflow (for me).

With the new iPhone OS, we now have cut-copy-paste, but what happens when you have snippets that you frequently use and would like to save ‘cuts’ to a permanent clipboard?

Enter ClipShare. This app does just that, allowing you to save multiple cuts to a clipboard for you to use whenever needed. I use it to paste special web codes into my blog posts.

There are many such apps in the App Store, but after testing all the ones that you can download for free, I have found ClipShareLite to be my favorite and all that I need.

Get ClipShareLite for FREE!

There are just some apps that have clearly been designed to impress in both function and form. One widely known developer of beautiful apps is TapBots and now we can get their Convertbot for FREE!

Convertbot is a unit conversion robot. Enjoy using it to figure out conversions for units like speed, temperature and even currency.
