Good Free Apps of the Day: ELEVEN completely free apps from Lipa Apps! Android, too!

I've used a few of the Lipa apps from Lipa Learning, but I somehow missed that there are 11 that are completely FREE! These apps educational and well designed with a great interface. They're designed for preschoolers, but have some great aspects for early elementary, too. Definitely check out these 11 FREE apps! There are no ads or in-app purchases, either! Plus, they're available both for Android and iOS!

Top Apps to Keep New Year's Resolutions **UPDATED for 2015 with 23 FREE apps!

Making New Year’s Resolutions is a popular activity for many around the world, and with that in mind, here is my Top Ten Resolutions list along with some apps that may help the resolutions be successful past January.  Some are focused on families, while others are specific for parents. Happy New Year!

**UPDATE: Well, 2014 is complete! I use four of these apps on a regular basis, and thought I'd look to see what could be added for a new year. So, I added a fresh app to the top of each resolution, but left in the previous apps, which are all still great options. Now there are 23 FREE apps, along with a handful that are worth paying for.

Top 25 FREE Apps for Christmas: 2014 Edition! Best holiday apps for kids!

Buckle your seatbelts. We now have less than three weeks until Christmas and it’s about to get crazy. So when you need a break (or for the kids to have one), here are some good free Christmas apps to make everybody happy. There is sure to be some fun on this list for all ages. I've also noted which apps have in-app purchases and ads, since they're common with free apps. This list is updated for 2014, with old apps removed and new apps added!

**UPDATED** 42 Completely Free (no in-app purchases) LEGO apps!

Based on our last reader survey, many, many parents (like me) **really** don't like it when a kids' app says "free" but it has a bunch of in-app purchases. Some our of readers even reported they won't download a kids' app that has in-apps.

 So, in that spirit, we took one of our popular posts, the free LEGO apps, and removed all the ones with in-apps to give you a completely free list of apps by everyone's favorite brick-by-brick toy company!
