All this takes just a few minutes depending on your choice of maximum output resolution and your device’s computational power. You can visit the apps settings page to change properties such as the output album name, maximum resolution and many more choices to suit your needs. NOTE: At least 2GB RAM required for 100 MP.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a professional or newbie panoramic photographer, this app will work great for you. Tips on stitching great panos • Photos that are plain or clear in the area of overlap will fail to stitch. • Non overlapping photos will be automatically ignored. • Use your favorite camera app to capture overlapping images. • Make sure there is enough overlap area between photos. • Use the camera lens as the rotation axis and not your body when capturing photos for stitching. Keep the lens or device at the same point as much as possible but rotate it in any direction to capture overlapping photos. • Keep the lens or camera still when snapping to avoid motion blur. • To help capture good overlapping shots keep track of the center of the previous shot and snap another when it reaches the edge. • Avoid capturing photos in direct sunlight. • Don’t merge photos with severe differences in lighting conditions. • Avoid moving objects in the area of overlap. Hope you enjoy using this panoramic app and that you will make memorable pano shots with it. Thank you.

Bimostitch Lite is free to download; AlphaFTP costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AlphaFTP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bimostitch Lite has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Bimostitch Lite's written reviews are positive against 0% of AlphaFTP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
