Apple has finally made its best applications free, for everyone, without exception. These applications, for those who do not know them, are iMovie, the video montage app, GarageBand, app to create music and the iWork suite that includes the Pages, Numbers and Keynote programs which are similar applications to Word, Excel and Powerpoint, for writing documents, tables and presentations.
These are excellent programs, exclusive for Apple devices for the Mac operating system and for iOS on the iPhone and iPad.
In reality these applications were already free for users who had purchased a new Mac, iPad or iPhone since 2013, what changes is that now they become free for everyone, even for those who have older devices or those who have bought an iPhone or Mac used.
To download these applications you can easily find them by writing the word Apple in the Mac App Store or in the iOS app store.
Otherwise you can follow the following links.
1) iMovie, the application to edit videos and edit videos in an easy way and with many options also to create videos with photos and music as if they were movie trailers, you can download for free for iPhone and iPad and for Mac computers.
2) iWork is Apple's Office suite and is divided into three applications:
- Pages, the Word-like writing app, free for iPhone and iPad and for Mac
- Numbers, the Excel-like app, for iOS and for MacOS
- Keynote, the app to create presentations, for iPhone and iPad and also free for Mac.
3) GarageBand is, on the other hand, a powerful application, highly appreciated, for playing and creating music.
The version of Garageband for iOS is optimized for touchscreen screens, ingenious, but not as powerful as the version Garageband for Mac which is a professional music studio with multitrack and the possibility of putting together loops and samples even playing them with a keyboard or connecting an instrument .
These free applications are definitely an added value for those who prefer to buy a Mac instead of a Windows PC or for those who prefer an iPhone to an Android smartphone.
I personally believe that, while iWork apps are not exclusive so important (on Mac, in fact, you can always use LibreOffice if you want a free program) as well as iMovie, certainly excellent but of which there is no lack of alternatives, but Garageband is really a first fruits, a program that music fans and especially musicians will not easily find on other platforms, at least if we talk about free programs.
