Simply B&W from developer Mr. B. Ware is a simple, easy to use monochrome conversion app you can use to make black & white photos that pop. It’s FREE right now in the App Store, down from $0.99. Grab it now. This discount is for a very limited time only — through until this Sunday.

I’ve featured Simply B&W in My Camera Bag post — it’s an excellent app that’s  a staple in my tool box. This universal app — works natively on both iPhone and iPad — supports a maximum resolution of 3264×3264 pixels.

This discount is to celebrate the anniversary of Mr. B. Ware. Mr. B. Ware’s Pixel It app is also free until Sunday. From the developer’s Twitter stream, “One year ago today I started work on my first iOS app and MrBWare was started. Thanks for all the support this past year.”

If you don’t already have it, it’s still highly recommended for a dollar. For free, Simply B&W is an essential download.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

UPDATE: The price has already gone back up on this one. The discount was “until” Sunday in Mr. B.Ware’s timezone. This is still an excellent buy at $0.99 if you like to create black & white iPhoneography.

So, you got new iPhone for Christmas…. You’ve already downloaded Angry Birds and have asked all of the “Siri-ous” questions (my personal favorite is “Open the pod bay doors, please, Siri.”)

Your new iPhone comes with a pretty serious camera and with the small investment of a few inexpensive photo apps, you can take and share some really cool photos.

But navigating the App Store can be intimidating without a little help. Here’s Life In LoFi’s guide to the best starter photo apps.

If you have a friend or family member who recently got a new iPhone, this is a great list to share with them. There’s a quick and easy email button at the end of this post. >>>

I love the simplicity of Simply B&W by MrBWare. It’s an easy to use color-to-black & white app that’s light on frills but does a great job of converting photos to great looking black & white. I recently reviewed version 1.0 of the app here.

The Simply B&W 1.1 update has just been submitted to the App Store and should street in a few days. The app is about to get a few cool frills. Click past the jump to find out more.

New iPhone photo app Simply B&W is a simple tool/camera app that creates great looking black & white conversions comparable to user favorite Vint B&W, but with much more flexibility. I recently reviewed the app, giving it four stars. I like its color filters and I’ve been using this app a lot since reviewing it.

I’ve got a few promo codes to give away for this slick little black & white app. Read past the jump to find out how you could win a free copy of Simply B&W. >>>

Simply B&W
Version 1.0
Price: $0.99

Bottom Line: A simple tool/camera app that creates great looking black & white conversions comparable to user favorite Vint B&W — but updated and with much more flexibility.

Simply B&W is a new black & white camera/processing app from developer Mr. B. Ware. It was written to fill the void left by Vint B&W, which hasn’t been updated by its developer for a long time (although it still works on the latest iPhones). Users of Vint B&W should give this one a shot — it has a better toolset and they may find this to be a good, newer, more useful replacement to the classic black & white camera app.
