I
know we regularly take a look at great educational apps at Edgalaxy but
the vast majority of those apps do come at some expense. Se here is
our list of the top 5 free educational apps.

the iBookstore, where you can download the latest bestselling books or

beautiful bookshelf, tap a book to open it, flip through pages with a
swipe or a tap, and bookmark or add notes to your favorite passages.
3. Image Searcher: (Free)
