ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PanoStory holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Panorama 360 has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Panorama 360's written reviews are positive against 50% of PanoStory'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 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
