## Description

**Panols** transforms a single photo into a seamless, swipeable carousel story. Choose a single-image layout or split your image across 2–5 tiles, then refine crops, rotation, borders, rounded corners, colors, and watermarks to create a personalized visual story.

Export tiles in the correct order for sharing, keep your original photo untouched, revisit saved Panols, or browse geotagged moments on the Globe. Panols also supports optional Apple Intelligence title and description suggestions, Siri creation, accessibility features, right-to-left layouts, larger text, and supported RAW and ProRAW editing on iOS 27. Some layouts and branding tools require Panols+.

## Review summary

Panols is praised for ease of use and a clean UI, plus a no-subscription pricing model. However, users repeatedly report serious reliability issues: exports fail, purchases don’t restore, frequent crashes, limited customization options, and minimal developer support. Overall usefulness hinges on the app working reliably, which many reviews say it does not.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a clean, intuitive UI.
- No subscription model; pricing is per feature, which some users appreciate.
- Great for sharing and editing panoramas, making panoramas usable again.

### Cons

- Export/save failures: photos are not exported or saved to the Photos library after splitting.
- In-app purchases not restoring; features stay locked despite payment and support is limited or unresponsive.
- Frequent crashes and stalls (crashes around 75%, black screen or unresponsive during use).
- Limited options and lack of customization (e.g., only 3-part splits by default, few aspect-ratio/panel options).
- Poor or no developer updates/support; longstanding issues persist with little communication.
