The folks at Liquid Daffodil have decided to throw three of their Windows Phone apps on sale. The fan appreciation offer, titled "3-4-Free" includes the apps Cumulotweetus, Nate & Frenchy's Random Axe and Add to Contacts. The trio will be available for free over the next 24 hours. Being the developing power behind the likes of glƏƏk!, Liquid Daffodil is a popular name that many consumers follow for top quality apps.
So what are the apps on offer? Add to Contacts is a useful little app, enabling users to access Local Scout and local search results when browsing contacts and add to listings. It expands each contacts card as well as providing connectivity for localised services. It should be noted that you may need to ensure "Suggestions" is activated for Add to Contacts to show up in the app list when using Local Scout on Windows Phone 8.
See the video below of it in action.
Cumulotweetus enables users to create "Tweet Clouds" that share content from a timeline (as well as another user's public profile) and mentions from a connected account. An imaginative take on the Twitter social service, and is also a secondary feature of glƏƏk! but sport more control and functionality. Should you wish to take the clouds further, be sure to check out Cumulotweetus.
Nate & Frenchy's Random Axe is a random generation tool for Windows Phone. The app can randomly generate facts, insults, numbers, passwords, locations, weather and even tweets to publish online. As a novelty app it "evaluates your hairstyle" when pressing on the designated areas, but the results are pretty neat.
So where can you pick up the apps that are currently listed for free?
As mentioned up above, you can pick up the apps for free for the next 24 hours, so be sure to head on over to the Windows Phone Store and download 'em.

Liquid Daffodil slashes prices of select Windows Phone apps. Free for limited time.
Nice deal.
I downloaded cumulotweetus, but wasn't quite sure what it actually does.
It creates "Tweet Clouds"! The best way to figure out what it does is just to experiment. They're actually REALLY COOL, and are fun to see what users are tweeting about, since every word is "weighted" by use. You'll love it!
I'm definitely in the "I don't get it" basket. It generated clouds of words with no bearing to me. Even if they were relevant, then what do I do with it? I don't use twitter much (I don't see the fascination with it) which is probably the issue :P
They should really think about extending thus promotion, I can't download any of the apps for Microsofts Store Issues!!! JEEZE
We could be convinced to extend it a little if enough fans tweet #weloveliquiddaffodil :)
Just download it on your browser http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store
O M G Liquid Daffodil apps make me crazy for the Windows Phone cuz they are so awesome!
"Add to contacts" doesn't work for me on a Lumia 920 as it doesn't show up in the suggested app list. Is this a WP8-wide issue?
Same problem here, it only works if I search for places from the Add To Contacts app. I can't search in Bing then swipe over to the app list and add whatever business I find.
Gleek is awesome! I highly recommend it.
I'm downloading just to support the developer even if I don't have a particular need for the app
Downloaded because I might want them later and they wont be free...Not they will be on my live account and I can download them when ever I want.
Was in an app buying mode and just picked up "Add to Contacts" (even though sale ended). I'm still using WP7.5 but am hoping they can fix the issues being experienced on WP8. Great job LD!
