Today's Good Free App of the Day is an app for anyone who wants to sit down and prepare their child for a trip to see fireworks or, depending on where you live, to just be home on certain days. It's especially timely for those who will be celebrating July 4th as I will tomorrow, although the app doesn't seem to cover overeating.
It does, however, allow for total customization so you can add your own photos and text to create whatever social stories you think might benefit your children or students (whether they have to do with fireworks or not.)
Social story apps are almost always labeled as "for special needs children" and while I certainly agree with that, they have potential uses for all children.
** 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. **

From iTunes:
i See-quence… Fireworks is an application providing a photo social story for individuals that need support in understanding the process of watching fireworks. Twelve icons with real picture images are used to illustrate the sequence of events. Text statements can be individualized for each picture allowing the app to be used for a variety of purposes, including receptive identification and expressive labeling. Personal photos can be added by the user with a camera ready Apple device or imported from the user’s photo album.
Typically developing young children participating in watching fireworks for the first time and individuals with developmental delays, such as PDD-NOS and autism will benefit from this interactive application. Parents, teachers, SLP’s and other support professionals will appreciate the user friendly design.
FEATURES:
-Multi-user capability (NEW!)
-Twelve pre-made icons provide a sequential order of events
for a fireworks occasion.
-Real-life photos of an event with fireworks provide detailed illustrations.
-Ability to add addition photo album books from templates or blank
-Audio may be added by the user for each step.
-Storyline can be personalized for the individual user
-Changes to the information are easily made in the settings section.
-Display order of the icons can be selected by the user.
-All icons may be replaced with personalized photos.
-Completion of each task can be indicated by the use of a checkmark feature.

Every day we pick what we affectionately 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.
We then present them to you to read, download, and share so, based on which ones got the most hits, here are your Top 100 Favorite Free Apps!
We've done our best to only include apps that are permanently free, but sometimes developers do change their minds so please leave a comment if you find an app that's no longer free.
