Step inside the panoramas you forgot you took. You took those panoramas because the view was breathtaking. Then they disappeared into your camera roll, a thin sliver among thousands of photos. PanoMemo brings them back. Tap one and you're inside it - swipe to look around, tilt your phone to follow the scene, pinch to zoom. The full resolution is preserved. It feels like being there again. [ Look around, smoothly ] Pan, pinch, and tilt to explore every angle. No goggles, no special hardware - just your phone and the photos you already have. [ Know the mountains in your photo ] Find the names of the peaks in your landscape panoramas, right on the spot. Long-press a mountain to see name candidates, or browse the peaks that should be visible from where you stood. Works for mountains worldwide. [ Labels that land on the peaks ] PanoMemo figures out which way your photo was facing, so name labels sit right on the peaks you see. If the sun is in frame, just tap toward it to fine-tune. [ Point your camera at the peaks around you (Live AR) ] Hold your camera up to the mountains and the names, elevations, and directions of the visible peaks appear right over them. "Which mountain is that?" - solved instantly, on a lookout or mid-hike. [ See the sun and moon, too (Live AR) ] Point your camera at the sky to see where the sun and moon are right now, plus their arc across the day - where they rise and set. Slide the time to preview their future positions (the moon shows its phase, too). Great for planning a shot or catching a sunrise. Precise astronomy means it works wherever you are in the world. [ Name the unnamed peaks (My Peaks) ] Give your own names to peaks the database doesn't know. They show up in candidates, lists, and the map - turning "the pointy one behind my house" into your personal record of the mountains. [ Build your peak collection ] Every peak you name joins your collection - building a record of how many you've named, and across how many countries. [ Relive where you shot it ] The Map shows your panoramas as thumbnail pins, right where you took them. Tap a pin for the place name and date, then open it in the viewer. Filter by country, or jump from the place list. Photos without location? Drop them on the map by hand. (The map only reads the position already saved in each photo.) [ Share the whole scene as a video ] Generate an auto-sweeping video of any panorama and save it to your library, in Standard (1080p) or full original resolution. [ Stay organized ] Star favorites, group into albums, and filter by year and month to dig up old shots in seconds. [ Swipe to clean up ] Swipe to sort panoramas into keep or delete, then remove them all at once - with a clear view of the storage you'll free up. Deleted photos stay recoverable in "Recently Deleted." [ Drop pins to remember ] Long-press any spot inside a panorama to leave a named pin - "the corner table by the window," "the lookout." Save frequently used pins as templates for one-tap reuse. [ Privacy-minded ] - Your photos never leave your device - No account needed - Never asks for permission to track you (Only place-name lookup, the data for the mountain features, and export-time ads use the network. Your photos and exact location are never sent, and terrain downloads always ask first.) [ Every feature is free ] Pins, albums, peak finder, Live AR and cleanup are all free. Ads appear only when you export an image or video - a single one-time purchase removes them forever. No subscription, ever. [ Compatibility ] - iOS 17 and later - Universal: iPhone and iPad - Japanese and English (auto-switches with system language) PanoMemo works with panorama photos taken in the built-in Camera app's Panorama mode. — Sample panorama images: Designed by Magnific (magnific.com), Pexels (pexels.com)

Capture everything around you in one photo. Stand in one spot, turn around with your iPhone or iPad and follow the dots. 360 Image takes every shot for you and stitches them into one detailed 360° photo, up to 8K, that you can step back into any time. JUST TURN AROUND • One yellow dot shows where to aim next, and an arrow points the way when it is off screen. • Hold the dot in the circle and the shot is taken automatically, the moment the device is steady and sharp. • A tilt guide and clear on-screen tips keep every shot level and in place. • Exposure and white balance are locked for the whole capture, so the sky and the shadows match all the way round. STITCHED ON YOUR DEVICE • Your shots are stitched right on your iPhone or iPad. No account is needed. • Photos up to 8K: 8192 × 4096 pixels, over 33 megapixels. Zoom in, and the details are still there. • The app knows exactly where the camera pointed for every shot, and on devices with LiDAR it also measures how far away things are, so nearby objects line up. • Colours and brightness are matched between shots, and the seams are placed where the photos agree. LOOK AROUND BY MOVING • Turn your phone or iPad to look around, as if you were standing there again. • Drag with a finger, pinch to zoom, or switch motion control off. • One tap puts the horizon level. STEP INSIDE WITH DEPTH • Photos captured with depth let you move your head inside them: near things slide in front of far ones as you look around. • A small 3D model shows the photo’s surroundings and turns as you do. Open it full screen to turn and zoom it. • Share the 3D model as a USDZ file, a standard 3D format that opens in Reality Composer and other 3D apps. TOURS • Put photos of a place together into one 3D model, and step from photo to photo inside it. • The app works out where each photo was taken. If it can’t, or gets one wrong, drag the photo into place yourself. • Erase stray bits from the model. • Share the whole tour as one 3D model. Tours sync through iCloud. SEE WHERE YOU WERE • A small map shows where the photo was taken and which way you are looking. Tap it for a full-size map. • Street names on the ground, landmarks on the horizon, and the weather on the day the photo was taken. Each can be switched off. • Your other photos taken nearby appear inside the photo. Tap one to go there – between photos with depth, you fly from one into the next. KEEP AND SHARE • All your 360° photos in one gallery, as a grid or on a map. Filter by depth, location and compass. • With iCloud, your gallery is the same on all your devices. Nothing to set up. • Deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. • Save to Photos or share them at full resolution. Photos keep their 360° information, so apps and sites that support 360° photos show them as a sphere. • If you allow it, the place and direction are saved in the photo too. OPEN ANY 360° PHOTO • View 360° photos from other cameras and apps, from Photos or Files, or with “Open in 360 Image”. Import several at once. A device with LiDAR gives the best results with objects close to the camera.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 360 Image at none against PanoMemo's 1. 360 Image also leads on ads (none vs shown). PanoMemo's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
