This app isn’t new, but if you aren’t familiar with it, it’s definitely worth checking out. Oilist is an app that turns your iPhone into an artist. You give it an image, and it will automatically turn it into a genuine and unique work of art—painted right in front of you in real time. Features include 48 infinitely customizable styles, 17 different presets, 15 brushes and 13 painting mods. Plus, unlike most filter-apps, Oilist never creates the same results twice.
Picassort
Here is a simple app that helps you declutter your photos collection. Think of all the pics you have on your phone that don’t really belong to an album.

You can search albums by name, pin albums to the top, and even have the app sort your photos for you automatically.
