Frequently Asked Questions

I cannot copy my panoramas to the camera roll.

iOS6 asks now for your authorization to let any app access the camera roll. If you said no, you may revert your choice: get out of the app and open the Device Settings, privacy, photos.

I cannot tap the "start" button, it is grayed.

You need to hold the device vertical. Yes, *straight* vertical. Press the "i" icon for more information.

I tap the "start" button and nothing happens (or I get a question mark).

After you tap on "start", you need to start rotating your device.

There is no "finish" button.

It will appear after the second picture is taken.

I tap the "start" button, start rotating, but the other pictures are not taken.

Once the Yin meets the Yang, you need to wait for the picture to snap as shown in this video.

You are greedy because the HD option is expensive (1.99$ per panorama)!

It is a one-time unlimited fee. You can use it for all your panoramas.

I paid for the HD option and now I have to repay to install it on my other device!

Skip the first message and enter your AppleID. Once you pay, you can use the HD option on all your devices (within the same AppleID).

Why should I pay to get more pixels?

There are very few apps that deliver 40MP 360 panoramas. We are not even sure there is another one.

I have a problem sharing on Facebook.

The last update solves this issue.

Your app keeps crashing.

When this phenomenon happens, *all* applications that take multiple pictures - not the ones that grab frames from a video stream - will close after a few shots. The only way we found to correct the issue is to restart - reboot - the device.

How much should I turn?

As much as you want. You can take two pictures only, or make a full 360 degree panorama. You can stop by tapping the "stop" icon, tilting the device into landscape mode or by making a full 360 degree turn. The blue indicator inside the Yin-yang symbols shows how wide your panorama will be.

There are errors in the result.
or
The panorama is not closed correctly at 360 degrees.

You should turn around the device, and not let the device turn around you. This is very important. You have to imagine that the device is fixed on a tripod! Avoid tilting the device, the Yin and Yang should be facing each others, with the same size. Keep practicing, start with shiny outdoors, they are the easiest and best panoramas to capture.

I have a message about "magnetic interferences".

Please check the following link that explains how to optimally calibrate your compass.

I have an old version of your app, but there is no update available on the App Store.

You may force the update by going to "Purchased Apps" section in the App Store.

Why can't I shoot in landscape mode?

Portrait mode gives a wider vertical field of view.

I would like to capture a building, or a tree. Why do you force me to rotate horizontally?
or
Why can't I shoot in all directions (up-down and left-right) to make a spherical panorama?

This is the limitation of the current version. We are planning to release versions with more options.

I would like to embed my panorama to a blog.

You can do it through the embed codes available on the website. If you would like to have both Flash and HTML5 viewers, use the Javascript embed code. A lot of bloggers are already embedding their DerManDar panoramas. It is worth mentioning that Wordpress free accounts are restrictive, so embedding won't work there.

I would like to delete my online panoramas and/or change their privacy settings.

I would like to add to my online gallery an already built panorama made by another software.

You can do it through our web interface. The image size should not exceed 8191 pixels in each dimension.

I don't have a device compatible with your app, but I would like to try your product.

You can take pictures with any camera, and stitch them with the free online tool available on the website. You only need to have the latest Flash player version.

I would like to report a panorama for abusive content or copyright infringement.

You can do this through the web interface. Please read our Terms of Service.
