Iphone sure has a ton of interesting apps! These ones I have to agree, are super useful! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this list. You gave me an idea which photography apps to try next time. By the way, if I may just add, you might want to look at Snap-A-Note (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id473437307?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4). It’s also a photography app. However, it has a built-in email system. I find it very useful since it lets me take photos and then send them to my email or my contacts’ emails.
Those are some great choices! Over my travels in the app store I discovered an app called bits. Bits allows you to add filters, frames, text and drawings to your pictures. You can then easily share them through social media, email or text message.
