This week's discount list skews useful over flashy: an AI beauty-advice app, a budgeting tool built for service members, an AR sun tracker, a professional music tag editor, and a sci-fi puzzle game. Two of the five are usually paid apps that flipped to free in the last several days, one is a deep discount on a niche pro tool, and one is a 60%-off indie game with a small but glowing review base. All five prices below are confirmed live via the App Store as of August 2026 — not copied from a stale search snippet.

## Kina: AI Glow-Up Friend — normally locked behind a $24.99/year subscription

Kina pitches itself as an AI beauty companion: live video chat with an AI stylist that walks through color analysis, makeup routines, and general "does this work for me" feedback, then tracks progress over time. It's not a photo filter app — the whole point is a back-and-forth conversation, which is why it normally sits behind a subscription (either $5.99/month or $24.99/year with a 3-day free trial) rather than a one-time purchase.

[Kina: AI Glow-Up Friend](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kina-ai-glow-up-friend/id6747213080)

Right now the entire app is free, no trial gate. Worth knowing before you commit any personal photos or video to it: this listing has swung between $24.99 and free at least twice in the past two weeks according to AppsHunter's price history, so treat "free" as a today-only status rather than a permanent change.

## Military Money: Pay & Pension — the most-reviewed app in this batch

At 5,737 ratings and a 4.8 average, Military Money has more social proof behind it than anything else on this list. It's a straightforward budgeting and expense-tracking app built specifically around military pay schedules and pension planning rather than a generic finance template with military branding slapped on. If you're active duty, reserve, or planning around a pension, that specificity is the actual selling point over a general budgeting app.

[Military Money: Pay & Pension](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/military-money-pay-and-pension/id1454836235)

Like Kina, this one has been flipping between paid and free — it was $2.99, jumped to $3.99 in mid-July, then dropped to free on July 29. The free window doesn't appear to be scheduled or announced anywhere, so if budgeting is on your list, today is a reasonable day to grab it rather than wait and hope it's still free next week.

## Sun Tracker AR — for photographers who plan around golden hour

This is a professional tool wearing a simple name: AR solar-path projection through your camera, map-based sun position for a given date and location, data tables, and a 3D shadow simulator. Landscape and architecture photographers use apps like this to plan a shoot around exactly where the sun will be at a given hour — not something you'd casually download at full price, but a fair grab for free.

[Sun Tracker AR](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sun-tracker-ar/id1460472433)

The premium unlock (normally $11.99, one-time rather than a subscription) is what's free right now — the same on/off pattern as the other two apps above. It jumped from free to $11.99 on July 26, then back to free three days later, so this is clearly a deliberate promotional cycle rather than a permanent price change.

## Waketag Pro — a real discount, not a free-then-paid flip

Unlike the three apps above, Waketag Pro's discount looks like an ordinary sale: $39.99 → $24.99, a 38% cut that's held steady since July 20 rather than bouncing. It's a music metadata editor — batch-editing embedded tags, cover art, and lyrics across most audio formats, with AI-assisted tagging and cloud drive integration. That's a narrow audience (DJs, archivists, anyone managing a large local music library), and the review count reflects it: only 12 ratings, though all trending toward a 4.8 average.

[Waketag Pro: Music Tag Editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/waketag-pro-music-tag-editor/id6743993728)

Small review counts are worth a second thought before you spend $24.99 — there just isn't much of a track record here yet. If you already know you need batch tag editing on iOS, the discount is real and worth taking; if you're unsure, this is one to read a few of those dozen reviews on before buying.

## Hyperforma Premium — 60% off, and the best-reviewed game here

Hyperforma is a premium (no ads, no IAP) sci-fi puzzle game — you're working through "the Ancient Network," piecing together the story of a vanished civilization as you solve dynamic levels. At 920 ratings and a 4.8 average, it's the most trusted pick in this batch outside of Military Money, and the $1.99 price (down from $4.99) is the lowest it's been since late July.

[Hyperforma Premium](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hyperforma-premium/id1296875300)

Because it's a flat premium purchase with no in-app purchases, $1.99 is genuinely the whole cost — no ads to sit through and no upsell screen after level three.

## FAQ

**Are these prices confirmed live, not just from a search result?**
Yes — every price above was checked directly against the App Store on August 3, 2026, not copied from a search snippet or press release.

**Why do some of these apps keep flipping between free and paid?**
It's a common promotional pattern, especially for subscription apps like Kina and Sun Tracker AR — a free window (sometimes just days) to spike downloads and reviews, then a return to the normal price. There's no public schedule for when that happens, so a deal you see today may not be there next week.

**Is Kina actually free, or is it free-to-download-then-paywalled?**
Right now the core app itself carries no subscription gate — you can use the video chat and style features without hitting a paywall. That could change if the app reverts to its normal pricing.

**Which of these is the safest buy if I only pick one?**
Military Money, on review count alone — 5,737 ratings at a 4.8 average is a real track record, and budgeting tools don't lose value if the free window closes before you download.
