Good Free App of the Day: Playful Minds - Math (5-8 years old)

I've been watching this app move up the free educational rankings quickly since it's release on Jan. 19. It's an absolutely terrific app at any reasonable cost, much less free.

It might be the best and deepest free education app out there...but there is one catch.

 

You have to sign up for an account (it's free too and only take a few seconds) and then after one year of use they want you to pay $6.99 for a yearly subscription. You don't have to give a credit card or anything when you start and the subscription isn't hard-sold at all in the app, so it's very non-intrusive. Apparently, after a year of use, something will pop up and say "you need to pay for your subscription." But, when that happens, you can just touch "cancel" having enjoyed a great app for a year for free! 

Unless of course, you want to pay for the subscription, and then, by all means, you should do so. It's a very interesting marketing strategy the developers are taking here but it works out really well in your favor either way.

** PLEASE NOTE ** A reader sent me a message stating that the avatar creator for girls has some issues that may make parents uncomfortable and I agree with her assessment. (I only tried the boy avatar creator because, well, I'm a boy.) Please check it out before allowing your child to play the app.

 * Rather than just post a list with links we're going to find one free app each day, make sure it's worth downloading, and post the info.

Here are the rules:

1) The app has to have some substance as free. In other words, it can't be a few seconds of play and then require an in-app purchase. 

2) My kids or I have to like it.

3) It can't have ads all over it.
