Yesterday Macheist raised over $500,000 for charity and unlocked the final two applications in the bundle. Today, from 9am to 5pm EST, you'll have a shot at winning one of 25 bundles. Currently the total bundle value stands at $981 but sells for $39.

There's a little something for everyone, especially now that everything has been unlocked.

- Open to legal US residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.
- To enter leave a comment telling us which application in the bundle you prefer.
- The comment must be left before April 7, 5:00PM Eastern Time.
- You may enter only once.
- Twenty-five winners will be selected in a random drawing.
