## What is Spherium?

Spherium is designed to easily view and share 360 degree images saved in your Photo Library.

Spherium supports viewing equirectangular 360 images, and is designed to handle images from a minimum resolution of 1000 x 2000 pixels; allowing you to view panoramas images 4k, 8k, 10k, or even 16k and above in resolution.

While viewing a photo in Spherium you can share the entire 360 photo, or take snapshots of portions of the image for sharing.

Spherium will automatically attempt to find the 360 equirectangular images saved in your photo library from 360 cameras, drones, other apps, the web or anywhere else you have saved them from. If Spherium incorrectly identifies an image as a 360 you can manually exclude it from appearing in Spherium.

- View 360 degree images
- Supports high resolutions (4k, 8k, 16k+)
- Share full 360 photos

### 1/5 — Read this before you get it!

*2026-04-27*

Waste of money there is no motion control on this app!

### 1/5 — Limited integration

*2026-02-20*

This app does not support “Open in…” nor does it allow you browse folders. Lastly it simply scans for 360 images. It often includes images that are not 360.

### 3/5 — Nice app but basic !

*2026-01-08*

It’s been 4 years now since an update - please can we have some more features please 


This app is pretty good but basic - it’s nice that it can find your 360 panos in your photo app automatically - there are a few things that would be a great addition 

The ability to resize the thumb nails as it can be hard to distinguish which photo you are choosing 
The ability to add text to the thumbnails to easily identify the photo you want 
The ability to scroll to the next photo without having to go back to the thumbnails 
Hiding the ui by a tap on the screen to turn it on and off 

There has been no updates for over a year on the app - hopefully the developer will get app updated and bring it in line with other apps out there

### 2/5 — Only for 360 files in Photos

*2026-01-07*

Have a bunch of 360 pictures that I want to show my clients taken on a Insta360 but this app will only read 360 pictures in you Photo App Library.  

If you have use the Insta360 app to view your pictures it only does it in a 9:16(vertical) format.  This app will allow you to see the pictures in full screen but you have to somehow import them in to your Photo library.

### 5/5 — Simple and Clean

*2025-11-30*

Just what I wanted!  No subscription, simple, clean and privacy focused.  Now I wish it would added playback of videos from photo library as well.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-04-08*

Having used Google Photos in the past which somehow automatically recognises and allows you to view spherical panoramas this is a great app for iOS. Nothing complicated, not bloated a simple but effective app which finally allows me to view my DJi Drone panoramas on my iPad and iPhone.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-03-16*

Would love some keyboard shortcuts, but really fast and the best for viewing your 360’s

### 1/5 — Very limited features, do not purchase

*2024-11-24*

I purchased expecting to do more than just simply view flat 360 and 360 photos. Just download Ricoh Theta+ instead. Much better app with WAY more features and free. Wish i could get a refund… DO NOT BUY you will be disappointed.

### 4/5 — Nice but limited

*2024-07-24*

The best way I’ve found to look at 360 photos taken with my Insta360 X4. It is very basic, though. It hasn’t been updated in a year, so I guess there won’t be any improvements coming…

### 5/5 — Best Viewer for my DJI Panorama shots!!!

*2024-06-13*

I love this! So simple, smooth, and fast!

You can use it to capture a photo from a panorama or just show off the panorama!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
