360 is the only app that lets you create your very own "live" 360 degrees photos and panoramic with sound. 360 has been featured by Apple as New & Noteworthy in the US and other AppStores for its release. Just touch the camera button to start the shooting, and rotate slowly. The app will automatically stop the shooting once you have done 360 degrees, and create a big 360 spherical photo. Touch the camera button before the 360 degrees rotation if you want to create a "live" panoramic photo. You can use the front camera to create a 360 portrait with the background behind you. Moreover, you can also take a 360 degree photo of an object by turning clockwise around it. 360 can shoot in both portrait and landscape orientations. To render the 360 photos even more realistic, the sound is recording during all the duration of the shooting! Watch your 360 photos by simply swiping your finger on it, or by using your device gyroscope and turning around. And it works in both landscape and portrait!

Pano Owl is the one-stop shop for panoramas — capture, stitch, correct, and view in immersive 360°. Rebuilt from the ground up on a modern Metal pipeline, it reliably combines any number of photos into a single seamless panorama while preserving the quality of your originals. PRO-GRADE CAPTURE • AR-guided capture anchors a target grid in space around you — pan to each dot and the frame fires automatically when you're locked on. • Shoot at the full 48 MP of your camera, or pick 24 / 12 MP. Apple ProRAW (DNG) capture keeps true sensor data for every frame. • HDR bracketing captures 3 exposures per frame; the stitcher blends every exposure layer into one 16-bit panorama. • A live hold-still meter shows your movement during each shot — and discards the frame if you drift, so soft frames never sneak in. • Pivot in place for spherical panoramas, or slide along a wall, floor, or ceiling for flat planar mosaics — all six directions. • Rig Guide mode for camera rigs: the phone rides your DSLR or mirrorless and draws a grid sized to YOUR lens and sensor while you fire the real camera. • Choose any lens — including telephoto — to capture super-fine detail. On-device blur detection re-shoots soft frames on the spot. RELIABLE STITCHING • Planar, cylindrical, and true 360° spherical (equirectangular) projections. • Partial panoramas and full 360 — stitch whatever arc you shoot. • Gigapixel-class results: the streaming engine composes and exports panoramas far larger than device memory, with no resolution cap. • HDR exposure fusion, deghosting for moving subjects, and per-frame exposure matching for seamless blends. • Detect and stitch multiple separate panoramas from one mixed set of photos. VIEW & SHARE • Immersive in-app 360 viewer — look around by dragging or moving your device. Partial panoramas occupy exactly their slice of the sphere. • Open any panorama from your photo library to view in 360. • visionOS-ready exports: the complete 360 metadata set (GPano projection, dimensions, and pose) is embedded losslessly with EXIF and GPS intact — Photos, web viewers, and Apple Vision Pro panorama environments recognize every export as a 360. AUTOMATE WITH SHORTCUTS • Stitch panoramas straight from the Shortcuts app: photos in, finished panorama file out — with projection, export preset, ghost reduction, and auto-crop options, and live progress while it runs. • Script your defaults with Get/Set Setting and discover output options with Get Export Presets. PERFECT IT • One-tap auto-crop finds the largest clean rectangle — no black edges, ever. • Straighten the horizon, drag the corners to correct distortion, and fine-tune the crop. • Turn a video into a panorama — Pano Owl extracts the cleanest frames for you. Whether you're capturing a sweeping landscape, a full 360 of a room, or a gigapixel cityscape, Pano Owl makes it effortless.
