Panoramicon is an immersive viewer for spherical panorama images (full 360×180° images in equirectangular projection).
Detail:
As per the README from github.
Example Images
If you’re looking for example panoramic images to use with the app, Wikimedia Commons has a large collection of freely licensed spherical panoramas available under Creative Commons licenses. You can browse and download images from:
Spherical panoramas category - A wide collection of panoramas from various contributors
Spherical panoramics by Domob - Panoramas contributed by the app developer
Simply download any equirectangular panorama image and open it with Panoramicon to explore it in full 360° view.
NOTE: Zoom is currently restricted in Panoramicon, so downloading the full-sized images is wasteful. On Wikimedia, the second size down image, should give enough detail. 2560x1280 pixel.
CONTROLS :
Pinch = zoom, swipe = pan, gyro = mlook.

Equirectangular projection is the right call for a mobile panorama viewer since it’s the standard format most cameras and drones output directly. The Wikimedia Commons reference is actually useful given how easy it is to end up with a phone full of stitched panoramas you never look at again. Does the app handle local file imports or is it gallery-only?
Yes it handles opening local files, or you can share an online image to Panoramicon.
I downloaded each of the Wikimedia pictures and then open them from within a local directory, by clicking on ‘OPEN IMAGE’.
Now if they could just add taking photospheres, I would be on board. I wish Google kept supporting and improving on themin their Camera apps :(
