Instagram-iconInstagram (Free)

Instagram is one of the most popular apps for the iPhone and there are good reasons why. Not only does Instagram let users apply a huge selection of vintage-style filters to their mobile photos, but it also has a social platform for sharing and commenting on those photos with friends. The app has created a Facebook or Twitter-like design just for mobile photos, allowing users to ‘follow’ friends, comment on photos, and view all of their friends’ photos in one feed. The high-quality filters and social sharing aspect make this app a hard one to beat for iPhone photo-enthusiasts.
