Thing 22

For Thing 22 - Discovering Apps, I chose the app, Apps Gone Free to look at, this app give a list of the apps that usually cost money but they have gone free for a brief period of time.  Some of the apps are free for a day and some you get free access for a couple of days or weeks, depending on the app producer.  You can also see back to what apps have gone free for quite a long period of time,  I was able to go back to October 2013 before I stopped seeing how far it would go back.  

This is a great app to watch because you never know when an app that you might want could be put on this list.  Also you could find a great app that you didn't know about and lucky you if you get there in time it will be free instead of having to spend the money to purchase it.  This is important because some people are on quite a budget and spending money on apps is not something they can spend money on.   This will be especially helpful to schools who might want an app, but they don't have it in the budget.  It is also a great way to check out apps to see if they will be useful without having to pay and then find out that you don't like it and then you have wasted money by buying the app and are stuck because they don't give refunds.

One thing I wished is that app creators would allow places like schools try out an app for a week to see if this would be helpful to students,  after a week they would have to purchase the app or it would disappear from the iPads.  It would be like checking out a eBook, I think that this would be a very great way to help schools, but until something like this happens this Apps Gone Free isn't a bad way to start.
