Good Free Apps of the Day: Nine completely free book apps!

I was browsing the app store looking for good new apps when I happened upon some apps from developer Intuary. These book apps were great for kids learning history, featuring the stories of Harriet Tubman and Jackie Robinson. Informational text is a critical piece of today's education system, too. Then I found out they have even more free apps! There are nine in all, and they're completely FREE!

Good Free App of the Day: Apple's App of the Week is game changing! Save $7 for a limited time!

I've long wished for an AirPrint printer, but my current Canon Pixma just keeps on chugging out pages of joy. I had read that there were apps that might help me print to my wi-fi enabled printer, but I thought they were too much work. This week's App of the Week from Apple immediately changed my mind! This $6.99 app is free until late next week (normally midday on Thursday), and it actually works. With Printer Pro, I can now print from my email, from Safari--from any app that has the option to "open in..." another app. Choose Printer Pro and magic happens.

Demo Video: Check out Frozen Free Fall in our new demo!

Maybe you're like me, and you've never actually looked at Frozen Free Fall. You might wonder what it's about, and why all of your friends keep sending you Facebook requests to play it. Or, you just might be obsessed with watching Kristoff cheer you on at the end of each level.Never fear, new video contributor Phillip has a new demo video for you! 

Sneak Peak: Frozen - Disney's Fever trailer is out!

The other day I was longing for something Frozen related for my youngest to play over and over on endless loop. The folks over at Disney heard my pleas and released a trailer for Frozen: Fever. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here since I blacked out shortly after Olaf regurgitated a piece of cake and then places the glob back onto said cake. But, I woke up just in time to see this short film would only be available for viewing if you're willing to cart your little snowflake to see the new Cinderella film. That's how they get you. Lure you in with a cute trailer your child just has to see in it's entirety, while paying full price for a ticket to an entirely different movie. Well played Disney, well played. If you would like to view this masterpiece for yourself click the link below. If you would like to avoid this trailer being played on repeat, stuff yourself in a closet with some headphones.
