Today we've got two Good Free Apps of the Day in one post! Songs for Kids parts 1 and 2!
These are terrific apps with really nice illustrations, a follow-the-text feature during the songs, and even an (easy) piano lesson for each.
The apps are from a Korean developer, so please note that the songs may not be exactly what you're accustomed to. Itsy Bitsy Spider is Eentsy Weentsy Spider, for example, and Ten Little Indians is still Ten Little Indians.
If you would like to download Songs For Kids 1 and 2 (FREE, iPad) please support Smart Apps for Kids by using these link buttons:

** 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. **

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 and, 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.
Enjoy!

I'll agree they're both great. On a side note, I've found that "itsy bitsy spider" and "eensy weensy spider" are regional differences. Don't know which regions are which. May even be different English speaking countries. Guess it depends on where their translator is from. Can't speak for any other translation issues.

I want to use your link to order the app, but it will not let me do so. I get a yellow exclamation point.
What do I need to do?
