Who doesn’t love a good game of solitaire? Klondike solitaire, or Patience, is the classic card game we all grew up playing on a computer or with an actual deck of cards. It’s been a popular time-passer for many generations - so it’s only natural that it would be so successful on the iOS platform. Several of the following apps have a number of different kinds of solitaire card games in one app for you to enjoy. Some people like their solitaire very simple, while others like more bells and whistles, but every iDevice needs a good solitaire game or two. This guide will help you pick the solitaire that’s just right for you.

Retro Camera Plus is the perfect way to explore the world of retro photography without spending a dime. Surely you’ve heard of app store darling Hipstamatic. Well, now you can check out Retro Camera Plus, which is similar, except that it’s free. Some might call it a knock-off, but I see it as a different app entirely, since each of the effects are different. In fact, I believe they complement each other quite nicely - it would not be a waste of space to own both.

It will allow you to do pretty much all the editing you could do on a computer without an expensive editing program. But with the update comes a price increase - so you may want to get it now while it’s still just $.99!
Video Splash allows you to turn your videos into black-and-white while keeping one object in color. What apps like Color Splash and Color Blast do for photographs, Video Splash does for videos. But does it work as well as the photo apps?
