Spherualizer

I wanted a way to view my 360 panos in full quality and this app delivers nicely. The extra touches put it over the top. It’s so cool being able to zoom out into little planet/rabbit hole mode, and I expected gyroscope control but gamepad support was a nice surprise, it’s fun to fly around in a pano using a controller. The only thing that would make this app better is to improve the “library” aspect of the app. I want to be able to read the filenames and metadata of the images (date captured & location) in addition to the preview thumbnail.

I guess I jumped the gun and made a purchase on something that I could not try out first. I was under the impression that you could take photos and then upload them. Not the case with this app you have to use a separate camera or pre-existing photos on your phone. For me, it was a waste of of money as i deleted the app as soon as I realized you could not there’s a camera. Maybe I did not read in before making the purchase.

I love the simplicity of this app! Far too often developers cram every bell and whistle into apps and then chock it full of ads to subsidize the time spent. Why Apple doesn’t support this out of the box is a bit frustrating, but thankfully this app exists as it makes it painless for friends to view spherical panoramas shots I take from time to time, but don’t want to share publicly on social media.
