Is This a Real Panoramic App?

Version 3.0
It seems to me that this app doesnt' really stitch the pics together as you would expect in a panoramic app, rather it just butts them into each other and blurs the line between them. Using the tips, holding the camera steady, overlapping sufficiently between shots, etc doesn't seem to produce a real panoramic shot. Am I missing something or is everyone all fired up about butting pics together? A real panoramic app would recognize and line up objects in the overlapping shots, and blend them into each other...
Excellent app for the price!

Version 1.0
I have purchased both Pano and Panorama. Personally I feel the image quality of Panorama is slightly better. I did about 10 side by side panos and Panorama's quality was slightly better every time (when viewed closely in photoshop). Panorama seems to use more overlap to construct their panormas, which creates a more seamless appearance. However, I did like Pano's interface better because of the transparency edge for lining up the images. Also it requires less button pushing to create the final image. To the casual observer the quality of both programs is very close. Considering the price difference and the interface it's hard not to recommend Pano, however for me the higher quality of the images (more seamless) created in Panorama will keep it on my phone rather than Pano. I will definitely check back when updates are released. I am amazed at how well both of these apps are able to create excellent images! You should note that due to the limitations of the iphone's mail program the finished panoramas will be sent via email at 800px wide. However, If you import them from from the phone into iphoto they end up at about 2600 px wide.
Not as good as Panorama app...

Version 1.0
First the good: Pano is less expensive than "Panorama" app (also available in the App Store), and it has a semi-transparent alignment guide that Panorama lacks.

Now the Same: Both apps suffer from some problems such as only being able to take horizontal panoramas, and only being able to create 600 pixel tall images.

And then the bad: Trumping everything else is the fact that when compared side-by-side, Panorama app does a much better job of aligning my panorama, and creates a more sharp and less washed-out picture than this Pano app does.

Bottom line: I rated both programs at 3-stars due to the problems. Pano gaines some points for its price, but loses for picture quality. Panorama app gaines points for picture quality, but is triple the price...
Bad Resolution

Nice App, but the Resolution of the Pics is still too bad for a "usefull" Panorama! Why don´t you implement the original 1200px height (2 MP) of the iphone? PLEASE!!!

Works on my 3GS!

Version 3.2
Installed, then rebooted the phone. Took 2 panos of 7 shots apiece & it worked great! Was really worried based on other's reviews on their 3GS, but so far mine is working flawlessly! I pull the resulting pano in my Photogene app to sharpen the pic, adjust the contrast & levels & tweak the color balance. The results are awesome! I can't speak for anyone else's experience on their 3GS, but mine is working fine with no crashing as others have reported. Don't know if it matters, but i'm running it under iPhone OS 3.01
OMG, It's What You've Been Waiting For!!! Idiot Proof (almost) Panorama Shots with iPhone 5 Stars!

Version 1.0
Wow. I've downloaded 26 applications so far, quite a few paid ones and THIS ONE is THAT ONE!

Very valuable. I've used it almost every day since I picked it up last week. Also picked up the 'free' PanoLab one, which is virtually useless. Used it (tried) several times and was unable to create any panoramas! How can any average person take a panoramic shot if the application doesn't give you a 'see-thru' layer (like this Pano does brilliantly) of the last shot so you can line up your next shot. Well done and I'm already creating some amazing pics that look fantastic.

Cons: (always some) Well, without a tripod, and in real world settings (not out in the woods landscapes), there are constantly changing little pieces in the background that will then show as a blur when the software stitches the pics together, but SO What! The pics are fun and it's the best $$ I've spent so far (other than Super Monkey Ball!).

Spend it and get $2.99 of enjoyment in just the first day of use!

Thanks for writing something actually useful!
Raises photography on the iPhone to a whole new level

Version 3.0
This app is just plain fun! I've tried both panorama apps and (at this point) I prefer this one. It is incredibly intuitive and has a transparent overlay which makes getting successive pictures started a cinch. It's amazing the level of quality and accuracy that can be achieved using this little program, and raises photography on the iPhone to a whole new level. It has proven extremely stable on the 3G thus far.

I can tell there is something special here, but the app crashes upon taking the first photo in 3.0. Sadness.

Version 3.2
I've had this app since it was first released and it just keeps getting better and better. The quality is incredibly impressive and using it could not be any easier. I've mentioned it to several iPhone users and all have purchased and raved about it.

This latest build continues its excellent development but an odd thing is happening with this most recent version. When shooting in Landscape (my preferred method) it shows you the potential photo not in the horizontal format in which is was taken, but you have to turn your phone back to Portrait to check and approve. I'm sure this must be a mistake (it's not how it was done previously) and hopefully the next build will correct it.

This annoyance aside--get this application. Well done. Very inexpensive for what it does. It's a first-class program.
Makes The Cam Fun

Version 1.0
Frankly, the on-board camera has been a bit of a yawn. Pano has injected some much needed purpose and fun - I actually enjoy using the camera now when making panos. The application was well designed for casual use. It's very easy to snap a series of images and then see the result. The transparent guide makes lining up neighboring images super simple and stitching usually yields acceptable results. Performance is a bit slow, but this may be due to the laggy shutter on the camera. Great lil' app.
Good Deal!
