Top 3 Panoramic Camera Apps for Your iPhone
Category:

Panoramic pictures are super popular right now in the area of photography & VR.

Panoramic photography is way easier with an iPhone.

And the best part is, you don’t need any other fancy equipment to try it out with your iPhone.

Even though your iPhone is equipped with a built-in panoramic camera, it can be quite challenging to use on its own to capture high-quality panoramic images.

With panoramic apps, you can take panoramic photos right on your iPhone without even having to move it around.

You don’t have to buy a tripod or expensive pieces of equipment either!

You can also use a panoramic camera app for Android if you are an Android user.

But in this article, we’ll look at 3 of the best panoramic camera apps for iPhone

Also at the end of the blog, I provide you guidelines on how you can create virtual tours easily with your panoramic photos and revisit virtually.

So let’s get started.

Why Use A Panoramic Camera App Instead Of iPhone’s Built-in Panoramic Camera?

The built-in panoramic camera that the iPhone comes with has a lot of limitations and it becomes way more challenging if you want to take panoramic photos.

Here are side-by-side comparisons:

Panoramic Apps VS Built-in-Panorama

If you want to take panoramic pictures, there are a bunch of apps that can help you do that.

If you look at the iTunes store, you’ll see a whole bunch of different app icons to choose from. Some are free, some you pay for once, and some you pay for extra features while using the app.

I have well researched most of the apps and chose 3 apps that can easily solve the issues that you will face using the in-built panorama of your iPhone.

Advantages of Using a Panoramic Camera App

Let’s have a look at some advantages you’ll have by using a panoramic camera app:

  • You’ll capture more of the scene in a single shot.
  • Panoramic camera apps will give you high-resolution images with impressive detail.
  • They’ll provide you with an experience with no visible stitching marks in the final panoramic image.
  • These panoramic camera apps are easy to use and require no professional photography skills.

Overall, a good panoramic camera app will save you from manual flaws and help you capture high-resolution panoramic photos with your iPhone quite easily.

Then, you can use them to show off a location or your property on Facebook or even via virtual tours on your website.

Follow are three apps that I’ve chosen to provide in-depth information on quality & features to help you get 360 panoramic photos using an iPhone :

1. DMD Panorama

DMD Panorama is a pretty neat app and better than the iPhone’s panorama feature in many ways.

You can take full 360-degree panoramas with this app (both horizontal and vertical angles), which is awesome.

It uses the gyro and compass in your iPhone to help make sure your panorama turns out great.

So, if you want to take some great quality panoramic photos, this app is worth checking out!

3. Bimostitch

With Bimostitch, You can combine different photos to make one big panoramic image that looks perfect.

Now to mention that this is not a 360 panorama capturing app but a panorama stitching app. But I had to keep this on the list because this stitching is a very important aspect of 360 panorama images and in iPhone, this is one of the best apps you can find for that.

It won’t take up much space on your device and the panoramas will be super clear. You can make panoramas on the go, like when you’re on a trip, and you don’t need to be connected to the internet.
