The world is a beautiful place to explore. There are so many cultures to find out about, so many interesting people to know and so many marvels of nature and creations of man to cherish about that a lifetime seems to be a very short interval to do all that. But more than that, no one is as lucky as Morgan Freeman in Bucket’s List to have time as well as a Richie-Rich companion who can afford all the luxury in the universe. Of course, if you can plan a trip to a country each year and you have ample amount of money in your deposits and you have the guts to ask your boss for a month-off from the office, hats off to you. But if you can’t afford such a king size life, then I guess you don’t have to cry about it. Just sit back on your sofa and enjoy the world as-it-is on your iPhone with Roundme.

I am talking about the latest iOS app called Roundme that has been developed by Verdom IT Projects Ltd. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and requires iOS 7.0 or any later version of the OS. This app has also been optimized for iPhone 5.

Roundme is an amazing app for explorers. It’s actually a platform where panorama images called “Spaces” shot by professional photographers from around the world are put on display for others to see. So each photographer submits a tour which can either belong to different places he’s visited or may be a series of shots of his native place or neighbourhood or even any apartment he/she wants to sell. Yes, you can use this app to sell your commercial buildings. It offers great exposure and with the panorama view you can actually put a lot of detail on the table for the potential buyer.

The home screen of the app is full of amazing shots. You can search out for the latest or the most popular Spaces but they’re all amazing. The quality of panoramas is great and many of them offer 360 degree rotation with a wide angle display of streets, monuments, buildings and many other popular places that you could only imagine to visit one day. Whether it’s Italy or Australia, there are people from all over the globe and if you’ve a specific destination in mind, go to the world map in the app and you’ll find various spots on locations which have been covered under these expeditions.

Roundme’s interface is very elegant, decent in design and the seamless navigation makes it even more interesting and simple-to-use. Moreover, you can upload your own tours as well and share them with others. If you like any Space, don’t forget to like it and expect the same from others. So even if you’ve already visited a place, do check it out once again on Roundme and relive and refresh your memories with joy. And if you haven’t gone that far, what are you waiting for! Just pick up Roundme and start exploring!

The app is available for free in the App Store.

Pros: elegant UI; seamless navigation; search out for different places on world map; beautiful panorama 360 degree shots; share your own tours; free.

Cons: none.

I will give this app 4.5 out of 5 stars.
