Chances are your iPhone is already loaded with a number of applications like Facebook, Instagram, Angry Birds, and so on. Although these apps are great, there are numerous applications available that will transform your iPhone into something more for less than $10 or even free. For those who are interested, below is a list of top 10 iPhone apps you are currently not using, but should.

Iconical. Most complaints that come from iPhone users are usually based on the inability to customize the phone the same way Android users can. The Iconical app allows you to create custom icons that you can move to your home screen. The app is available on the App Store for $1.99.

You no longer need to browse the Internet for places to go on a Friday night or while on a trip. Wikitude literally allows you to see what is hidden from others. Using your camera, the app pulls information on pubs, bars, general sightseeing spots, and those places that provide a free Wi-Fi connection.
