With YouTube Live, Annie Gaus and Graham Hancock broadcasted the very first live AppJudgment Thursday April 14th, 2011 on YouTube. Take a look at the established apps Camera+, Instagram, and Angry Birds - all of which just got significant updates, as well as a new segment where we look at two of the top apps in the App Store: Pickin' Stick's and the Rebecca Black "Friday" Soundboard, and ask "Why is this popular?!"

Camera+

For iPhone
Version: 2.2
Developed by: Tap tap tap

Camera Plus, banned from the app store a few months ago for sneaking in a feature that let users use the volume button on their phones as a shutter button, has now re-appeared in the App Store with tons of new features, chief amongst them being a great new filter called "Clarity" that can save your photos if they are too dark or backlit.

Instagram

For iPhone

Burbn, Inc.

We covered Instagram back in October but the app has been updated quite a lot since then, there are now more useful social features, sharing options, filters, and more! We also talk to Instagram Co-founder Mike Krieger to get his thoughts about Instagram's rapid growth, and the communities that are being created by the social photo sharing app
