SmartAppsForKids

I want to make you aware of a phenomenal resource that provides free and reduced educational iOS apps. The site is called SmartAppsforKids and their website is www.SmartAppsforKids.com. Each Friday a number of educational apps go FREE for 24 hours and you may download them to your iTunes account for permanent ownership. In addition, there are other links provided that offer temporary discounts or freebies. You may sign up with your email address and the free apps will be sent directly to you to download. Even if you do not yet have a mobile device, I encourage you to set up an iTunes account so that you may accumulate educational apps for future use. Enjoy!
