I have a folder with apps in it that are always free. I figure if some days I don't see any great deals and the team is stuck for a GFAOTD idea, I'll have something to hand.
I put eggzoo in there and then Ron featured it, which just goes to show that great minds think alike! Or fools never differ. Definitely one of the two anyway.
I was looking at free app notifications - nothing was getting me excited and I thought, why do I keep saving Phonics Studio? I need to share this app! We've done GFAOTD features on a number of offerings from Grasshopper Apps because they're high quality, free and customizable. This one is certainly no exception.
If you have a child who is learning phonics, how sounds blend or needs articulation practice, this is a must-download. All speech therapists and teachers should definitely have Phonics Studio in their app arsenal.
It comes with over 2,500 gorgeous, high-quality flashcards. It's totally customizable and supports multiple users. It tracks data. You can use the sounds that come with the app or record your own. Your child can record their own for practice. The app even does your ironing*.
*That last statement isn't actually true.
I'd say 'Holy Crud, I can't believe this is free' but Ron's got that trademarked.
** 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!

Thanks so much. This will be awesome for grandaughter who has no speech. She is deaf and has been in speech therapy since 2. NO luck. She loves all the programs we get.

This would be great...except....it's only written for iPad and iPhone products. My 3yr old grandson would greatly benefit from it except that my daughter-in-law does not own an iPad and has an android phone.
Too bad the alligator folks don't realize there are other products on the market than just those made by Apple
