iOS and iPadOS 17 Review Stats, Plus Two New Obsidian Plugins

Panoramic Photos is made by the developer of Series, which is a more complex app for formatting images and video in social media-friendly aspect ratios. Panoramic Photos is a subset of Series focused on one task: breaking up a panoramic photo into multiple shots that works well with Threads and the way it displays photos.
