After seeing some decent results from other users, I've downloaded some 36--degree apps for my Android phone.
Over the next week or so I will test them and report my findings. First up is this one by Sfera-360.com (the web link doesn't mean much but you shuld find the app by searching for Sfera).

I've taken the code from the webpage link after uplaoding my 360-images, which was taken today in the park outside Clitheroe Castle.
To use this free app, you have to tap your phone screen and then slowly rotate clockwise. There is a helpful on-screen horizon line to make sure you don't slip from the phone's viewing plane too much.
GOOD: It works quite well. There's audio too - which was a surprise and not always a good thing. Audio can be switched off easily in the app. It also has GPS location.
BAD: The link you get to view your 360-degree panorama online is not the most easy on the eye and does take a while to load. We'll see how the loading time compares with the other apps.
When you upload your link on the app a message tells you that you must buy 'tickets' to post links - with the first five tickets free. To buy 10 tickets (you can't buy a single) costs £1.19. This is not great value.
SUMMARY: Decent quality but may be more cost-effective to get an app where you pay upfront.
