definitely
one
of
the
favorite
iPhone
apps
of
2012.

many
acclaims
for
its
simple
yet
effec<ve
design.

year,
it
has
a
more
refined
iOS

TiltShi/Gen2
First
TiltShiBGen
is
considered
as
one
of
the
best
early
photo
apps
for
iPhone.
TiltShiBGen2,
created
specially
for
iOS
7,
which
adds
a
special
distor<on
to
a
photograph
so
it
looks
like
an
image
of
a
miniature
or
model,
instead
of
a
photo
of
the
real
world.
The
app
looks
great
on
iOS
7,
and
the
controls
are
all
simple,
with
intui<ve
gestures.
With
a
price
tag
of
only
$0.99,
it
is
a
must

Evernote
This
app
is
among
the
first
apps
that
does
a
tremendous
job
of
leveraging
the
new
AirDrop
technology
in
iOS
7
to
share
notes
instantly
with
people
close
to
the
user.
This
app
has
received
extremely
high
praise
from
the
users,
which
features
a
completely
redesigned
home
screen
with
update
no<fica<ons
similar
to
those
on
iPhone
itself.

can
now
also
add
notes
to
images
and
PDFs
with
new,
clean
markup
tools.
And
yes,
it
is
s<ll
free.

PayPal
The
updated
PayPal
app
gives
customers
and
business
owners
many
features
they’ve
been
asking
for
a
while:
in-‐store
payments,
money
transfers
to
friends,
and
the
opportunity
to
open
up
new
lines
of
credit
from
mobile.
Perhaps
most
interes<ng
of
all
the
new
features
is
the
ability
to
pay
for
items
at
thousands
of
restaurants
from
the
PayPal
app
itself,
rather
than
having
to
download
the
app
of
each
restaurant
first.
Updated
for
iOS
7
with
changes
to
its
UI,
this
free
app
looks
great.

out
there.

Infinity
Blade
III
One
of
the
best
tests
for
the
new
64
bit
architecture
of
iOS
7
(on
new
iPhones)
is
the
graphically
intensive
game
Infinity
Blade
III.

Perfect
Weather
Some
weather
apps
are
overloaded
with
informa<on.
Others
are
designed
to
be
preby
rather
than
useful.
Perfect
Weather
strikes
the
right
balance.
It
offers
a
minimalist
experience,
seven-‐
day
forecast
and
radar
data.
The
maps
are
animated,
and
this
$2.99
weather
app
looks
perfectly
at
