You don’t need an iPhone to admire the sheer quality of design and pixel perfect interfaces of these apps.

There is an app for everything right? the app store is a place where you can not only find the most useful apps for your iPhone, but the ones that have a unique and highly visual way of providing you information.

We have compiled a list of 20 of our favorite and most beautiful iPhone applications from the app store. Each one of these apps not only serves their function well but does it with style. The following apps are listed alphabetically and all (hopefully, considering your location) can be found on the iTunes store.

Sally Park iTunes Store | Developer Website
It appears the people at doseido can never remember where they parked their cars. I’m sure they aren’t alone in the world and this app can help track your car using your iPhone. You can also snap a picture to store in the app, if you also forgot what your car looks like.

Typography iTunes Store | Developer Website
I started this blog post fully intending to post a differnt app to this one. however I couldn’t find The typography Manual anywhere on the iTunes Store, and while it’s still a great app and working perfectly on my device, I diced to omit it instead for this app. Typography is an app based on the Typography Kicks Ass website, a site made out of the shear love for typography. It uses a random image of a letter from flickr to display a message of your choosing.

Weightbot iTunes Store | Developer Website
Weightbot will help you record your weight and help you hit your ideal target, with handy views of your progression over time. If only the iPhone could be used as a weighing scale this would be perfect. Great work again by tapbots.

Yahoo Search iTunes Store | Developer Website
This app used to be called Inquisitor, and to be honest while it’s appearance hasn’t changed a great deal since those days, I think I preferred the older version of the app before Yahoo took over. The purplish icon and blue tint to everything doesn’t do anything for me, and the added features have given the app a new level of complexity, That said it’s still a great looking search app.
