Basics

Spherualizer is an app that allows you to view panoramic photos and create videos from them. Additionally, the app offers creative tools such as the Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole effects, which allow users to transform their panoramic photos into unique and creative visual representations. The iOS app features also a version for Apple TV and Meta Quest devices that allows you to experience your panoramic pictures from new perspectives.

No, Spherualizer does not allow capturing 360 degree photos. You'll need a 360 degree camera for that. However Spherualizer works also with panoramic photos taken with your iPhone or iPad.
By default Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole are only enabled for 360 degrees photos, because they work best with them. To turn on this functionality for all the pictures, go to Settings, scroll down and enable the Experimental Features. Please note that the resulting effect will not be perfect, and you will have to put some more effort when composing your panoramic picture in order to create a Tiny Planet or Rabbit Hole that is visually good. That's why the feature is marked as experimental.
To enter the Rabbit Hole and Tiny Planet editor, tap on the icon resembling a planet. You can switch between Tiny Planet and the Rabbit Hole effect using a double tap. Additionally you can create super cool video effects by tapping on the Animated button.
Yes, just install Spherualizer on Apple TV. Your Spherualizer's gallery is automatically synchronized with iCloud. If you are not using iCloud you can always view your panoramic picture on your Apple TV using the "Open on Apple TV" function from the Spherualizer menu.

No, Spherualizer does not require an internet connection to view or record your photos. However by default Spherualizer does not keep a copy of the gallery on your device to save space. If you are planning to use the app without Internet access you should select the option "Download and keep originals" from the Spherualizer's Settings and wait for the download to finish. Please note that a WiFi network, not necessarily connected to internet, is required to use the "Open on Meta Quest" and "Open on Apple TV" functionalities. These functionalities work without Internet connection, but require the devices to be connected on the same local network.
To open the settings menu, tap on the Spherualizer menu and choose Settings.

When you delete Spherualizer data from iCloud you loose the ability to synchronize your Spherualizer gallery among your Apple devices. Moreover, the Spherualizer Gallery will be downloaded to your device, occupying storage space. Please verify you have enough free space before proceeding.

Open Spherualizer and tap on the Menu button, then choose Settings. Disable the Backup and Synchronization switch and tap on Done. The download of the Spherualizer Gallery will be triggered. Please wait for all the Spherualizer Gallery to download on your device.

After the download of your Spherualizer Gallery is completed, you can proceed with iCloud data deletion.
