Insta360 is the app most 360 camera owners will use, because it is the companion to Insta360's own cameras and gimbals. The US App Store listing describes 360 reframing where you tap to add a keyframe and change the perspective, an AI Edit mode that handles the reframing for you, Deep Track to keep a subject centered, hyperlapses, and Shot Lab with more than 25 AI templates such as Sky Swap and Clone Trail. You can edit and share clips without downloading them to the phone first. The app is free and holds a 4.4 rating from 9.4K ratings. Cloud storage is sold as Insta360 Premium: 200GB costs $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, 1TB costs $8.99 a month and 2TB $11.99 a month. The trade-off is scope: the app is designed for Insta360 hardware, so owners of other cameras should look at ReShoot 360 or Kuula. We compared documented features and published prices.
