Instashare’s iOS 7 Update Instashare for iOS was updated today with a fresh new iOS 7 design and a few additional updates, including an improved clipboard UX. Lately, Instashare had been performing not-so-great for me and I was also noticing some odd crashes, but this version seems to have fixed those annoyances. Interestingly, the developers have retained the iOS 6 design for users who’ve chosen not to update to iOS 7.

Stacks is a smart gesture-based currency convertor app for the iPhone from the same guys who designed and developed Calzy — the elegant calculator app for iPhone. We’ve seen & written about plenty of utility apps here on Beautiful Pixels and for someone who’s already built a calculator app, releasing a currency convertor was the logical next step. But Stacks manages to set itself apart from Calzy by sporting a largely iOS 7 inspired UI that looks and works great. Stacks has a colorful flat UI with thin typography for the digits. You can customize the color you want from…
