I've chosen the free version of Articulation Station as our Good Free App of the Day today, even though it contains only one free sound program (the /p/ sound deck) and the rest have to purchased, for two reasons:
First, I have received nothing but amazing feedback about this app, including teachers and parents who have told me that they have used the one free sound program as part of their lessons. (Heather rated Articulation Station as one of our Top Picks in a rave review.)
Second, all of the other non-free sound packages and the complete pro version, which has everything, are on sale until May 16, so now is the perfect time to download the free version and give it a look.
From iTunes:

Every day we pick what we call the Good Free App of the Day, an app that we have downloaded, tested and certified: It can't have a ton of ads or just a little content with a ton of in-app purchases.
It also has to be good.
