Today's Good Free App of the Day is the first GFAOTD suggestion from our reviewer Jill. It's an awesome, really unique ebook that's full of hip animals, jazz and cello music. Cabby Cat & the Missing Cello is only free until Monday!
The app had me when I read that the missing cello belonged to world-famous pig cellist Mo-Mo Ya.
** Please note ** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **
