Today only - 5 November 2014 - the
free app of the day on Amazon is Elements of Photography Pro. (Usually it is USD$3.50.) I just installed it and took a quick look. It appears to be a fine introduction, and it receives high marks on Amazon. Perhaps others will find it useful, so I thought I'd share the link.
Here is what it says on Amazon:
Available now in 14 languages. NOTE: App is natively available in English, language translations provided by Google Translate.
Elements of Photography (EoP) is the most comprehensive app on the marketplace on photography. Instead of boggling down with huge amount of text or long boring videos, EoP uses targeted small chunks of text backed by beautiful full screen HD photos.
EoP includes chapters, tools, quiz and tips – designed in a way to help amateur and budding photographers understand the elements of photography and not let the camera become a technological barrier between the cameraman and the subject.

Chapters are organized with a smooth inclination making it easy for the absolute beginner to understand the basics of photography. Starting from the very basic topics like focal length, shutter speed etc. to more advanced topics like metering, exposure triangle and flash photography. EoP is the complete reference available right at your figure tip.
