### 3/5 — Photo to Video export save to album fail to save

*2025-09-05, version 3.11.0*

It used to work fine on iOS 17 or pre 18.6 upgrade. Now it says fail to save every time on exporting to album, also not working if export to Instagram

### 2/5 — Rubbish

*2025-07-08, version 3.11.0*

The app is not working, please fix it

### 3/5 — Please update App

*2025-04-01, version 3.11.0*

Please update the app as it now cannot export with new iOS

### 4/5 — 60 FPS please!!!!

*2025-03-07, version 3.11.0*

PLEASE add an option to export animations at 60 frames per second, rather than just 30.

### 2/5 — Stopped saving animations

*2025-03-02, version 3.11.0*

The app worked fine for a while. All of the sudden it stopped saving the little planet animations. 
I went through all of the recommended troubleshooting steps and nothing.

### 3/5 — サポート終了

*2025-01-16*

久々にSCを使ったらiPhone16だとカメラロールへの保存が失敗になります。
試しにし昔使ってたiPhone6のiOS12.5.7で保存したところカメラロールに保存できました。
アプリの更新が終わり最新のiOSに対応してないのかも？と思います。
最新のiOSなら手間になりますがicloud driveのファイルに一旦保存する事ができますので、theta+を使いたいユーザーさんはお試し下さい。

### 3/5 — 動画が保存できない

*2024-12-01*

なぜ？

### 1/5 — Can no longer save animated images

*2024-11-19, version 3.11.0*

Can no longer export final animated images. Could do so back as late as August 2024, but can no longer Save to Camera Roll (or any other option ... error: "failed to save in album"

All permission are correct. Changed nothing in the app, so an IOS update must have broken something. 

Please fix this app

### 1/5 — 保存できない

*2024-10-29*

アウトドアで久しぶりにシータで動画撮影。編集しようとアプリをダウンロード。保存ができない。久しぶりに出したシータ、使う頻度がまた遠のいていく。メーカーに不信感を抱きながら、防湿庫の奥に仕舞いました。メーカーはRICOHだったっけ？

### 1/5 — 動画保存ができない

*2024-10-26*

動画の保存ができません

### 4/5 — 使いやすい。水晶玉は世界で人気

*2024-08-06*

使いやすいです。水晶玉にした風景はサムネイルのインパクト大。惜しむらくはアプリのアップデートがないこと。ファンを是非大事にして頂ければ。

### 1/5 — バグだらけのままサポート終了？

*2024-07-03*

がっかりです。

### 1/5 — EXIF DATA lost

*2024-05-23, version 3.11.0*

The EXIF data for Make and Model gets removed when using the editor.
This is highly important for me otherwise the app is essentially useless, because then I have to use computer to add it back on.. so if I will use a computer then I will edit there also.. therefore the app becomes obsolete.
Please fix this as I prefer to use my phone

### 1/5 — Waste of time and storage

*2023-07-11, version 3.11.0*

This app is awful, it doesent do ehst it says it does it just makes the picture go wierd. Its not a 3D view it just squishes the picture. Honestly theres no point in gettting this app its pointless. Thanks for reading my honest review!

### 1/5 — 動画書き出しエラー

*2023-06-23*

*2023-06-08, version 3.11.0*

App won’t load my photos, uninstalled

### 1/5 — Can’t capture 360, so no point.

*2023-05-25, version 3.11.0*

I just want a free spherical panoramic photography app. Want to capture equirectangular images, preferably as lossless 16-bit PNG or EXR. But this app is only for messing around with existing pano pics. I’m not really sure who this is for.

### 1/5 — Theta splash page opens and nothing else

*2023-05-18, version 3.11.0*

Still haven’t gotten into the app. What a waste

### 1/5 — わけわかんねー

*2026-03-13*

起動してから説明画面が出るけど消し方わかんねーし、やっと消したらいつまで経っても撮影画面でねーし、はっきり言うけど訳がわかりません。猛省と改善を求めます。

### 1/5 — does not work

*2025-08-22, version 3.11.0*

this app doesn't save animated videos anywhere. it saves and then Failed to save in the album

### 1/5 — Ricoh does not care about customer

*2025-08-03, version 3.11.0*

You spent money buying their expensive camera and they decide to not support you later. My camera still works. Don’t buy Ricoh product, never trust Ricoh as a company.

### 1/5 — Was great for editing 360 images now fails to save

*2025-05-07, version 3.11.0*

This was a really useful app for editing 360 images but sadly now it fails to save the video when exporting.

### 1/5 — Ricoh does not care about customer

*2025-04-21, version 3.11.0*

You spent money buying their hardware and they decide to not support you later. Never buy another Ricoh product, never trust Ricoh as a company.

### 1/5 — Crashes

### 1/5 — 保存できない

早急な対応をお願いします

### 1/5 — 2025年初から新しいTHETA画像が扱えない🥵

*2025-02-15*

サポートは2023年で終了していましたが、2024年までTHETA画像は扱えていました。新機能は追加されないのは諦めていましたが、今まで通りTHETA画像を扱えてリトルプラネットが作成できると思っていました。THETA360に移行してもリトルプラネット作成の機能が無いようで、困っています🥵

*2025-02-04, version 3.11.0*

Will not export to camera roll. Pretty useless

### 1/5 — Can’t save the video on new iPhone update

### 5/5 — シータSC2

*2023-01-23*

カメラはええねんけど編集が自分にわむずかしい。

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-12-19*

I love the different ways to play with the photos to as interesting perspectives. Works well and is easy to use.

### 5/5 — 直感的に使いやすくて良い^_^

*2022-08-23*

フレームの縦長を横長にするのが分かりにくかったけど、それ以外はとても使いやすいし、iPhoneの写真フォルダに入っている写真の中から、360度写真だけ表示してくれるのも助かります^_^

360度写真から簡単に動画を描き出せるので、360度に対応していないSNSとかに共有するのにも便利

### 5/5 — AN ABSOLUTE BRILLIANT APP

*2022-08-01, version 3.10.0*

This is one of the best FREE app I have downloaded so far, a real joy to use and could not stop recommending it. Absolutely brilliant TOP!

### 5/5 — Theta + editing

*2021-03-10, version 3.6.1*

Using 360 at school . Learning to use an iPad and theta + editing software at the same time. Practising the different output displays. Enjoying the experimentation. 
Would be more comfortable on a PC, but it’s always good to stretch oneself. 
Created some school videos and now want to get more artistic. 
Had some problems with the stamp option as I couldn’t do anything after I used it and had to just cancel the image.

### 5/5 — Expande tu creatividad

*2021-01-13, version 3.6.0*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-03, version 3.6.0*

Done some great editing, love it

### 5/5 — GOD APP

*2020-10-19*

BRO this app is so good, it is the only app that I could find that TRULY does 360 videos not like those fake ones I 100% recommend this app

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2020-06-01*

I use this with the sphere function on my dji spark. I get these awesome interactive panoramas. Much more to do with them. I post them onto Instagram and people love them even though Instagram always lowers the video quality 🤦🏻
I am recommending this app to a drone forum I chat on.

### 5/5 — This app is great!

*2019-11-12*

The ability to edit animated clips from a still image is awesome. The key frames are super helpful too. The only request I’d have about that is to make the transition between key frames more seamless. Also to the developers: there is no way to add the included stickers to hide the tripod. The current version doesn’t allow you to tilt down in the edit mode with the stickers. This is a minor complaint really, the app is overall a strong 5/5. Thanks!
