I’ve always been crazy about statistics & numbers. As someone who spends a lot of time online being active on social networks and managing a bunch of different websites, I have to look and keep track of lot of numbers related to these profiles online. That’s why apps like Analytiks and Ego have long been on the list of apps I always first install on my iOS devices. Unfortunately, while Ego has been the perfect companion to keep track of a lot of stats, it has had to remove most of its supported services recently due to 3rd party API…

Kuvva is a website that offers a vast collection of beautiful wallpapers from various artists around the globe. It’s an interesting idea — Kuvva features a new artist every week and offers the work by this artist as wallpapers in a set. You can use the website to download different sizes for your desktop and maintain your own collection by adding the wallpapers you like as favorites. It’s a great resource to browse through interesting works by different artists, photographers, illustrators and designers around the world. A few days ago, Kuvva extended this experience to the iPhone by launching the…

Bjango has long been one of our favorite app developers. They’ve been churning out apps with some delicious pixels year over year and continue to do so even today.

The app is now Universal, working across all the iOS devices Apple offers…

When Squarespace announced a few days ago that it had released a new app on the App Store, I was pleasantly surprised. Squarespace is known to design and create some amazing products and their iOS app for the core service has already been featured here on Beautiful Pixels.

When I realized it was a Note Taking app, my first reaction was, “Why!?”. But after having played with it for a few days, boy…

Loren Brichter. The name should sound familiar to everyone reading this. Loren was the man behind Tweetie, the incredibly powerful and substantially polished Twitter app that paved the path for most Twitter apps we see today. He’s the man credited with bringing the “Pull to Refresh” UI mainstream with its implementation in Tweetie. The success of Tweetie on the iPhone also led him to launch Tweetie for iPad & the Mac. Eventually, Twitter acquihired him and unfortunately, has been slowly murdering the apps. It was a shame to see the apps we all loved and used daily being turned into…

Tapity, the winner of an Apple Design Award in 2011 in the student category for their app Grades 2 and Sonico Mobile, who are best known for their translation apps for mobile have teamed up for the design an development of Languages — a beautiful translation app for iPhone.

It features a nifty unified search field, so you can type a word in any language & it is smart enough to…
