ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RICOH THETA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RICOH THETA has 1.9K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of RICOH THETA's written reviews are positive against 41% of ReShoot 360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
