Software can be expensive.
The Mac's 3D modelling tool ViaCAD Pro 12, for example, sets you back £700 on the Mac App Store, and on the iPhone and iPad, professional piano-tuning app Verituner costs £600. But you don't have to break the bank to bag an app.
There's a huge range of software available for your Apple gear that's entirely free of charge.
'Free' doesn't mean 'poor' either.
