Let’s face it, you’re already tired of the abundance of weather apps that show up on the App Store everyday. Every single one of you has, by now, already settled into their favorite weather app and there are literally thousands of you who don’t even depend on a weather app. Every time we showcase a weather app here on Beautiful Pixels, we receive feedback that sings the tune of “Enough is enough”. But I’m sure that the iOS developers who sit down to make a weather app think so too. At least that’s what I think went through the designers…

I’m a sucker for delicious servings — be it in the form of food, drinks or well, pixels. Well designed pixels are just as capable of leaving me drooling as a serving of Butter Chicken and Naan combined with a drink is on the table.

We all love sharing our photos to networks like Facebook, Instagram & Twitter these days. The cameras in smartphones these days churn out impeccable photos and one-touch filters in popular mobile photo-editing apps have made sharing interesting photos a lot of fun. Over is one such app that works with your photos and instead of offering a bunch of photo filters to you, it lets you add beautiful fonts to your photos. Over has been around on the App Store for a while now, but it has made some tremendous improvements over the last few versions. The core idea behind…
