Pano version 2.0: even more widescreen goodness
Pano, a panorama photo app for iPhone we reviewed back in October, has been updated to version 2.0.
What's in the update of the $2.99 app (click opens iTunes) from Debacle Software?
- The ability to make panoramas of up to 6 individual pictures (version 1.0 maxed out at 4 pics)
- New stitching algorithms and color correction that resolve the dark bars that sometimes appeared at the "seams" between photos
- A new portrait mode
- Better memory management for more stability
- Reduced processing time when merging photos
Pano 2.0 was supposed to ship with a new icon, but the icon police at Apple apparently had issues with the updated design.
If you already own Pano, be sure to download the update to take advantage of the nifty new features. Debacle Software is hosting a panorama contest in the near future with lots of fabulous prizes, and featuring several TUAW bloggers as impartial and unbiased judges. Start taking those panorama shots soon!

Pano is one of my favorites as well.
Unfortunately the new version only works with 2.2. I'm still using 2.1 since all my friends who have updated have issues with pixelated photos in the camera roll.

I think what might be happening is that he doesn't have the firmware updated to 2.2, and so the update just doesn't show up.

It's not showing as a free update. That's a huge bummer for those who purchased this app when it came out.

It is a free update, as are virtually all iphone app updates. I was able to update for free with no problems. Maybe you need to restart itunes.

LD, you certainly should get the update for free if you have Pano v1.0. As far as I know there isn't even a way for developers to charge for updates.
If you aren't having any luck then please get in touch with us at support@debaclesoftware.com and we'll be sure to get this all sorted out.

I've got the 2.2 firmware, have since it came out.
In iTunes it sees it as an available upgrade. But it doesn't see it on my iPhone directly, which is odd.

Do you currently have the old version of Pano on your phone? One solution is that if you just search for the app and download it, even though it says "Buy" it won't charge you since you already purchased it.
