Wallpaper Designer is the finest wallpaper app I have found yet. It’s not your typical collection of stock photos that most apps offer. Instead, it lets you create your very own retina display backgrounds from a variety of cool elements. Do you like traditional, modern, industrial, celestial, colorful, or abstract? You can find all of those styles and more. Do you like to put your apps on shelves, in boxes, or on glow patterns? You can do that too.

Percolator is a truly fun app where you can unleash your creativity. Turn any photograph into a work of bubbly mosaic art -- no actual artistic skill needed. You choose a photo and tweak the settings; Percolator does the artwork.

3D Camera is an app that does just one thing, and does it well: creates 3D photos. Love it or hate it, 3D is here to stay.
