If you think that describes you, or if you think that the Weather app could do with an overhaul in design, then you might want to check out an app called WTHR. As pictured above, this is an app that allows users to check the weather on their iPhone. As you can see, it features a very clean and minimalist design and comes with a weighing scale-like interface in which the red arrow and line will indicate the weather for today.

Snapping your photos and then applying a filter is usually the route that many photographers take. Some effects like Sepia, Black & White, Infrared, etc can be applied before taking the photo, but for the most part additional and fancier effects are usually a post-photography process.
