I'm making a special effort to ensure that Dan Russell-Pinson apps get more press from us because he definitely has to be a part in any discussion of the best kids app developers.
It's also very important to note that although most people balk at the name "lite" in an app title, the lite version of his apps include a great deal for free. Sometimes, it seems hard to tell what the difference is between the lite and full versions.
His apps all work for the iPhone and iPad.
We've already done GFAOTD posts on Stack the States Lite and Rocket Math Lite and today we're featuring one my kids current favorites. In Monster Physics Lite children can construct a car/rocket/plane/whatever and have their monster avatar control it in a free play setting or while attempting to solve 20 missions. It is awesome and fun, for kids (and parents!) Definitely give it a go and, if you like it, the full version is just 99 cents.
** 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!
