Some iPhoneographers are reporting problems with this update. Read on for more information and a couple of possible fixes. >>>

Single-take panorama app, 360 Panorama by Occipital, is free right now in the App Store. This is for a limited time only, so grab it now. It’s from the same developer who created the excellent ClearCam photo app.

The app creates immersive panos – up to 360 degrees – in a single take. Past versions have been a little cranky for me, but when it works, the panos are pretty seamless and very cool.

I’ll create a prettier link when I’m back in the office. Until then, here’s a text link you can follow to download. 360 Panorama is available as a free download for a limited time.

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Requires iOS 4.0 or later.

As far as pano apps go, I still think AutoStitch Panorama is by far the best and definitely worth the $1.99. But for easy, fast, interactive 360° panos on the fly, it’s hard to beat Photosynth from Microsoft. Simply open the app, stand, and make your pano. Photosynth uses the iPhone’s gyroscope to know when to snap the next panel of the pano.

Photosynth was updated today to version 1.1 — mostly sharing improvements, which the app needed badly.

Ever heard of the Sprocket Rocket? It’s a sweet little panoramic 35mm camera from Lomography.com that features a super-wide panoramic lens and, of course, sprockets! It’s a LOMO effect that has previously been unavailable on iPhone… until now.

The ClassicPAN 5.1.0 update from misskiwi has just been released. It contains two new films and a new lens — the FrameRocket. The Sprocket Rocket-style effect is now available for iPhone.

UPDATED: See below.

The new interactive panorama app from Microsoft, Photosynth, is an interesting one. In many ways, it’s really cool and fun. Its advanced stitching algorithms are fast and amazingly accurate. But Microsoft has released a surprisingly good interactive panorama app.

Shining Through panograph opened in Photoshop to view transparency

You Gotta See This! is an easy, fun app that creates panography, a panoramic collage style of photography. Panography is different than panorama in that images are very visibly tiled to create a collage. Click here to read my original review of the app.

The recently released 1.4 update has a cool new theme, Shining Through, which lets you save images with a transparent background. You gotta see how to do it.

Wrigley Field pano created with AutoStitch

.

There are several panorama apps available in the App Store. My favorite is AutoStitch Panorama by Cloudburst Research. It’s been on sale for a few days, but right now, it’s only 99¢ — that’s $2.00 off the normal price of $2.99.

AutoStitch Panorama 3.1 from Cloudburst Research has just hit the App Store. The improvements include optimizations for the iPod Touch 4th Gen,  a new retina display-ready icon, bug fixes and a very nice feature I’ve been wanting for a while — background support for iOS 4.

In my opinion, AutoStitch Panorama is the best pano app available. It can be used to create much more than just panoramas. You can use it to create interesting ghost effects and “bend” effects as well. This update makes it much nicer to use in iOS 4.

Within the past several days, two new apps have been released that will be really cool when they work properly. As they are now, it looks like both releases should have been delayed so they could be tested further. Both Panorama 360  and Eraser Camera are alpha-level apps in their version 1.0 releases.
