It’s been a big year for iOS, as we’ve seen various apps become viral, succeed greatly, and then be forgotten about after a couple weeks when the next latest craze is discovered. The apps that tend to stay popular and keep the users interest throughout the year are the ones that Apple chose to honor with the title of best iPhone apps of 2012. Let’s take a look at what made the cut.
10. Evernote
Evernote may not be a brand new app to 2012 but its recent update and redesign makes it feel like one. Both form and functionality have been greatly improved upon, giving the Evernote iPhone app a more organized and collected look for all your various notes. It is one of the greatest cross-platform note-taking apps by far, and it is a force to be reckoned in the near future.

9. Jasmine
With the iOS 6 update, iPhone and iPad users were left without a native YouTube app to provide them with satisfying cat videos on the go. So the makers of the Reddit iOS client, BlueAlien, answered this need with Jasmine. Unlike the recently released Google-made YouTube app, it fits both iPhone and iPad platforms and has two themes to choose from for your browsing pleasure.

8. Pinterest
Pinterest is a very popular social network for the crafty of the kitchen, home, and fashion variety. It also has an abundance of funny pictures to accompany the many Do-It-Yourself projects, and although the iPhone app was released nearly a year and a half ago, the network became fully public earlier this year. This opened the floodgates for millions of iPhone users to “pin” to their hearts content.

7. KitCam
The makers of the incredible photo editing app, Photoforge and Photoforge2, decided to take on the whole process by releasing KitCam earlier this year. It has an amazing amount of control for the professional iPhoneographers out there, with white balance, light control, multi-exposure, and multi-shot functions to go along with the many lens, filter, and frame types. It is the all-in-one camera app that every serious Instagramer should own.

6. Flickr
Yahoo is doing its best to revive itself and take on the other great web giants like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. Part of that challenge was to make their famous photo sharing site, Flickr, interesting and fun to use again. They have taken major steps to do just that with their new iPhone Flickr client, which is on-par or even greater than Instagram (especially after being taken into Facebook’s command).
