Insta360

Insta360 is the companion app for Insta360 cameras, made for people who want to control a camera, pull footage off it, and do the first pass of editing on a phone. By our assessment, its best trick is the tight link between capture and editing, which is exactly what 360-degree camera owners need when they are turning raw clips into something shareable. The trade-off is that this kind of app makes most sense if you already own the camera hardware; without that, it has little to do. In use it tends to be full of clip importing, reframing, and export steps, so it feels more like a control panel and rough-cut tool than a general video app. The 360 in the name is not decoration, and that keeps the purpose clear. It sits well above generic photo tools for its own niche, but it is not trying to be a universal editor.
