10 Best iPhone Apps
Alright WTD readers!
The time has come and we are almost ready to say goodbye to one of
our favorite years 2013. Yes it was promising and yes it
delivered!!But we are not ready to say our farewells until we do it
in style. So let’s spoil our iPhones and download the best of the
best apps. Thanks to Mashable and their busy fingers
for testing through most of the 1 million apps.
Here are the top 10 best apps of
2013;
-
1. Afterlight
Games aren’t the only apps that can be addicting, and dedicated
iPhone photographers may find Afterlight just as hard to put down.
The app allows users to do the basics, like crop and rotate photos,
but it also has an expansive collection of filters, borders and
textures to turn your iPhone photo into an iPhone masterpiece. Of
course, the app also allows users to share the edited photos to
their social media accounts. Price:
$0.99-
2. Duolingo
Apple
selected Duolingo as the company’s top iPhone app of the year —
and it’s pretty clear why. Duolingo helps users learn a new
language from their iPhones with both visual and verbal lessons.
Learners are rewarded with experience points, which they can use to
buy perks within the app. Perhaps the best part: it’s free. Right
now the app offers five languages, including Spanish, German,
French, Portuguese and Italian. Price:
Free -
3. Pocket Light Meter
If you are an avid photographer, Photo Light Meter is
the real deal. The app provides photographers with a functioning,
quality light meter that tests the intensity and exposure of the
photography subject. Light meters cost anywhere from $15 to $200 at
the store and online. The iPhone app is free, plus you won’t need
to carry around an extra gadget with you at all times.
Price: Free -
4. Temple Run 2
Jump. Slide. Jump. Turn. Argggghh! If you’ve ever
played Temple Run, you know this feeling.
Thankfully, gut-wrenching failure doesn’t stop us from playing the
game.Temple Run 2 turned out to be a
great sequel to its predecessor, which set lofty standards. For
starters, the new game has much better graphics. Plus, there are
more characters to choose from and new terrains to conquer. All of
this added up for iPhone users — the app was the third most
downloaded iPhone app in 2013, behind only Candy
Crush Saga and YouTube. -
5. Venmo
Nothing
says “you’ll never see that $5 again” quite like a friend saying,
“I’ll pay you back later” after you buy him a beer. Enter Venmo.
The app allows friends (or roommates, or siblings, or couples) to
pay one another via iPhone at the touch of a button. Simply connect
your checking account to your Venmo app and settle debts (no matter
how small), without paying any processing fee to send payments or
cash out back to your bank account. Users can also use the app to
“charge” others — a gentle reminder to send along the money when
possible. Price: Free -
6. Over
A picture
says a thousand words, but sometimes you need to add a few more of
your own. Over allows users to overlay text onto the images that
they take with their smartphone. The messages can turn routine
smartphone pictures into e-cards, or simply provide a fun way to
spruce up your photos before sharing them to social sites such as
Instagram or Twitter. Price: $1.99 -
7. ThirdLove
The
biggest danger of buying clothes online? The risk they won’t
actually fit when they arrive in the mail. That’s the problem
ThirdLove aims to solve. The app allows women to send in iPhone
photographs that can be analyzed to determine the proper bra size
(the company also designs the lingerie). This is a good
example of an app using advanced technology to solve
a real-world problem. Price: Free;
prices vary for the actual lingerie -
8. Vine
The
six-second video sharing app came out in January, and was
the fourth
most-downloaded iPhone app from the past year. The
video length is short enough to keep things interesting, and the
app has just enough editing control to give users flexibility to
create unique content. Price: Free -
9. Proust
Think of the game Marry, Date or
Dump. Now add two more options, and change the
categories to anything your heart desires. That’s the idea
behind Proust, a game that allows users
to create their own Marry, Date or
Dump scenarios with any items they choose. You can
write in your own choices, or the app will generate random ones for
you, and you can send your list to your friends to see which topics
they deem most important. It’s a simple game, but you can learn a
lot about your friends (which we realize isn’t always a good
thing). Price: Free -
10. Mextures
Mextures is another great photo editing app for iPhone. Users can
save setting packages for use on other photos in the future, and
the app has more than 70 pre-loaded textures. Users can blend,
layer, or simply adjust lighting levels.
