Apple iOS device users are still getting used to the new iOS 7 software update. Meanwhile, developers are working hard to make their apps compatible and matching to the user interface of iOS 7. Luckily, select Indian developers have quickly tried to push an update for their apps on the iOS platform.
This time we are covering only free apps that are now available in the Apple App Store for iOS 7 users. Some of these apps may have bugs since the update was pushed very fast. While developers work at fixing them, enjoy these free apps.
Cleartrip
Book your flight tickets for domestic or international travel from the Cleartrip app, which also supports Apple’s Passbook feature. That means you can show Cleartrip tickets in Passbook without having to worry about losing your ticket. Supporting several international currencies, the Cleartrip app has been redesigned to appear and function like one of the native iOS 7 apps.
Users can access all their booked trips and choose to pay via credit card, debit card or netbanking. We hope that Cleartrip soon adds hotel booking and hopefully, train booking support as well.

Catch up with the latest local and global news from the Times of India app meant for iOS 7. The breaking news alert option pushes important news to the homescreen as flash. Over 45 different Indian cities and their editions are covered in this app with a variety of broad news categories. The app also offers live cricket scores for on-going cricket matches and videos related to different sections.
The app allows reading news offline and also lets the user engage with other users by posting comments, adding favorites and sharing them with others via email, Facebook and Twitter.
OLX
One of India’s rapidly popular classifieds is now available on the iOS platform as well. Though it has a couple of bugs, the OLX app is perfect for users to sell and buy a variety of items across the country.
Users can post classified ads, reply to listings and of course, search for items. Users can view the item photos in full screen mode unless the size is small and they can also check the description.
