Today's Good Free App of the Day is a terrific ebook from Disney/Pixar that tells the story of...OK, we all know what happens in Toy Story right?
This is a fantastic app (with tons of features and extras) that hasn't always been free but it seems more and more developers with a large number of apps are making one or two permanently free to entice parents to download and then, hopefully, check out the rest of their offerings.
It works! Download this app!
True story: Actor Billy Crystal was offered the role of Buzz Lightyear but turned it down, allowing Tim Allen to get the part.
