    The top Selling App CAMERA+ is missed in the list. I read statistics that since launch of iPhone 4s, CAMERA+ application is selling at a rate of 1 app after every 3 seconds….Millions and millions are made by company and still continuing.

    Honestly speaking, it worth spending $0.99/- for Camera+ app. love it.

    Hi, thank you for sharing this great info. Was just browsing through the net in my office and happened upon your blog. It is really very well written and quit comprehensive in explaining with a very simple language.

    I would add Moquu. You can take photo sequences and make them interactive. It’s lot of fun.
    You can make things like this: http://www.moqu.us/m/GhS9n

  4. Thanks for the great list! May I humbly suggest my app, Doubleshot Photo? It’s not just another filter/effects app. It’s a creative app for combining two photos into one using lots of different frame layouts. It’s fun to experiment with showing two views of your subject, it’s like cubism for photography. But it’s challenging, too.

    Camera + gets my vote …tons of features and yet it’s only as complicated as you make it. Best $0.99 I’ve spent on an iOS app.

  6. Travis says:

    Camera+ is a pretty good one.

    You should also try Snapbucket for quick, and customizable filtering (layer your own and save sets) – also on Android – http://photobucket.com/snapbucket

  7. Wow, these are some very useful tips!

  8. Gooch says:

    I’ve been thrilled with Camera + , easy interface with some killer results. I’m constantly say I can’t believe this came from my iPhone. Tilt – shift generator is another app that produces some great images.

    You don’t mention one of the oldest, most popular and well-known photo apps on the iPhone—Hipstamatic (http://hipstamaticapp.com/)? Hard to take a list seriously when you leave major apps off of it, especially in favor of things like iQuickSplash.
