That’s right.  No gimmicks, no catch, just free.

Here’s another installment of our favorite apps being awarded to the winners of the QuickPix renaming contest.

1: ColorSplash: A selective colorization app that makes adding that extra “pop” to your B&W images a snap.  A perennial app store favorite, and for good reason.

2: Sketch Me!: Very cool set of “sketch” effects.  Especially good for portraits.  Very easy to use.

3: Movie Looks: Apply custom filters to your videos is a snap with this app.  Several built-in filters and a lot more available as in-app purchase.

4: ReelDirector: Movie-editing app for iOS. Record voiceover, add music, transitions, stills, text and more.  When you’re done, upload directly to YouTube, save to camera roll or email.

5: ImageBlender:  Like the name says, this app is all about blending together 2 images.  Great for double-exposure effects and enhancing backgrounds.

That’s all for this batch.  Stay tuned for the next installment of our favorite apps to be awarded to the winners of our QuickPix renaming contest.

We’re proud to announce that with the latest release of QuickPix, the app goes universal!  Now supporting the larger iPad2 interface natively, version 1.2.1 demonstrates our commitment to providing the best camera replacement app available for iOS.

With the high-speed, dual-core processor in the iPad 2, QuickPix has an astonishing burst rate of ~14 frames per second at full resolution.  Truly a sight to behold.

The universal version of QuickPix 1.2.1 is available for immediate download from the app store.

Another Batch of Awards

In our second installment of awards to the winners of the QuickPix renaming contest, we feature another handful of really cool apps and why we love ‘em. Enjoy!

1: Hipstamatic.  The app that started the retro iphoneography craze.  While it wont replace your default camera, Hipstamatic is a cool, fun addition to the virtual camera bag on your iphone.

2: Everyday.  A new app on the scene that reminds you to take a picture of yourself every day and creates an animated movie of your face over time.  Easy sharing options make this app a ton of fun.

3: Fruit Ninja. Super-fun, addictive “swipe and slice” game.  What a great way to waste those few extra minutes (or hours) you have on your hands between taking great photos.

4: Diptic. Easily create composite images to tell a story, show before & after and countless other possibilities right on your iOS device.  Great when a single image isn’t enough to express a moment, and you don’t want to sit down with a computer.

5: TypeDrawing. Ever want to simply lay some text on top of an image you just shot with your iPhone? TypeDrawing makes this a snap, plus so much more. With tons of cool effects to make your words come alive on your images, this is a great app to enhance your photos when a couple of words can make all the difference.

Special thanks to TechNMarketing, LifeInLoFi, iPhoneography and AppAdvice for the awesome suggestions and your continued support.

And Now the Awards!

Now that we have the winners of the QuickPix renaming contest, it’s time to start handing out the goods.  Yes, that’s plural – winners.  Special thanks to Glyn @ iphoneography.com for pointing out that not only did @oniontears inspire the name, but a blog comment from mooziqu actually nailed it.

In any case, we promised to gift out 50 of our favorite iOs apps to the winner, and we intend to do just that. Only difference is now two people will be getting the gifts instead of just one.

We had some trouble coming up with 50 favorites all on our own, so we enlisted the help of some of the most popular bloggers we know.  TechNMarketing, LifeInLoFi, and AppAdvice were kind enough to provide us with a load of suggestions.  Thanks so much!

We’re going to dole out the goods in batches of 5 apps each.  Here are our first 5 picks:

1: ProHDR.  So much better than the built-in HDR feature of the standard camera.  If you find yourself in challenging light situations (strong backlight, etc), this app will make you look like an absolute pro.  A must-have for iphoenographers.

2: AppAdvice. Simply the best app-discovery app anywhere.  If you’re wondering what cool apps to get, or want detailed reviews from iPhone pros on just about any app, this is the app to have.

3: 360 Panorama. We love this app.  Simply spin yourself around in a circle after pressing the capture button and 360 stitches together an awesome panorama.  The embedded viewer takes advantage of the gyro in your phone to really make your pano come to life. No other panorama app comes close.

4:  FX Photo Studio.  Think of it as Photoshop Lite for your iPhone.  Awesome array of effects, filters and editing tools to quickly enhance your photos before sharing them off to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or by email.

5: Fahrenheit.  In case you haven’t noticed, Apple’s built-in weather app just stinks.  Fahrenheit is one of the best weather apps out there, and has the really cool added bonus of showing you the current temperature right on your home screen without opening the app.

That’s it for this installment.  Stay tuned for the next batch of our favorite iPhone / iOS apps we’re gifting to the winners of the QuickPix rename contest.  Thanks for all your support!
