Twentieth Century Fox launched a new app called Movie of the Day, which offers up to 70 percent discounts off the price of new and classic films. Every day, the app updates with a new movie deal, ranging “from blockblusters to acclaimed indies, and everything in between.” According to Apple, all transactions are done through iTunes, and movies will be saved to your iTunes library. All deals will only be available for 24 hours. New or classic movies will range in price from $5 to $10.

As of right now, the app is available for iOS devices only, but there are plans to expand to the Google Play Store. The Movie of the Day app also lets users browse a movie’s cast, check out user reviews, and read a synopsis on the film.

Launching today with X-Men: First Class for $7, the app will be available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and France. Although the company hasn’t confirmed a list of movies to be displayed in the app, the app’s screenshot shows that movies like Rio 2, Fight Club, and The Fault in Our Stars will be discounted in the coming weeks.

While there are plenty of apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and HBO Go that let you stream movies on your iPhone and iPad, they don’t offer suggestions to check out movies that are on sale.

In a joint effort between Fox and Apple, the Movie of the Day app will be a great way to help increase digital sales. If you’re looking for a new way to discover movies, you’ll want to download the Movie of the Day app. It’s free on the App Store here.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far

Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
