Spherium 4+

Spherium is an excellent option for viewing panoramic images from the iOS Photos app. It provides the option to share the entire image or a select section (a snapshot) via an iOS share sheet. It does exactly what it promises with a simple, elegant interface.

The app could be made even more useful (to me, at least) by adding the ability to search for specific images using titles, keywords, locations, or dates. In my library, it’s tough to differentiate among the many aerial images shown through the interface. Short of that, the inclusion of more information fields (title, keywords, caption) on the info page could help to identify images. Even the option to show larger thumbnails would help.

Despite my specific use case desires, Spherium remains the best 360 panorama viewer I have found for the iPhone and iPad.

Does what it describes. A more modern styling for buttons and icon would be nice.

This does better than the other 360 photo viewers available, except for one very major problem: it doesn't recognize all of them, and doesn't let me import any that it doesn't auto-detect. In particular, it tends to skip over shots of fictional environments, ones manually put through photo stitching software, or ones that went through Photoshop in some way. I can only view shots taken through Google Street View. If this were to be fixed, I would change my rating to five stars in an instant, but right now it's too much of a shortcoming to overlook.
