Which Windows Phone Panorama App to Choose ?
Today we did app review of Pano and what we thought to be the one of a kind Panorama App for Windows Phone and even though the app is very impressive and does good job but searching thereafter, we found AutoPanorama which made us think that why Pano App for WP costs 2.99 $.
Version in Comparison : Auto Panorama 1.5 vs Pano 1.0
Features of AutoPanorama and Comparison with Pano App :
I took the picture of the same area using both the apps one after the other so I can include processing time and resolution comparison over my Samsung Focus.
[table]
| Features | Auto Panorama | Pano |
| Processing Time | Instant. I was seriously surprised with zero processing time. | Very High, One of the biggest drawback. For 4 images it took a minute of processing. |
| Resolution | 1628 X 370 | 1630 X 291 |
| Control | Option to Start and Stop and even skip the current Panorama with new. | There is no option to do this. Once you start you need to process and there is no background process support. |
| Flash Support | You can Turn on, Off and set Auto Mode with option for Red Eye Reduction. | N/A |
| Transparency Support | You can set transparency level which is useful if there is too much brightness outside | N/A |
| Cost | Free but Ad supported. However no watermark on the images | Costs 2.99$ and no watermark here also. |
| Auto Save | You need to manually save it to Photo Library | Automatically saves it to Camera Roll. |
| Reverse Camera View | In case you are accidentally holding it such a way that images appearing upside down, you need to manually turn your phone. | One Tap button can help you switch. This is very useful as it saves your starting time ! |

IMHO, Pano has to come up with some brilliant concept and options with their app to sell at that price. I have no complaint from the app, I am just picky on the price.
Image comparison :
This is just to display the resolution part, both the app do brilliant job stitching. The bluriness you see anywhere is human error. You can click on the image to see larger image
