Free Apps for Kids
Free apps are great -- but wading through all the terrible free apps in the App Store and the Google Play Store? Not so great. This list features some of our favorite free-to-download apps for kids, and although some of them have optional in-app purchases, we've only included the highest-quality selections that are still fun to play. If you're looking for apps with more learning potential for your kids, check out these awesome educational resources that won't cost you a dime.
