The spherical images can be posted to theta360.com and shared via various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr and can also be posted to Google Maps, Google+ and YouTube 360? Channel.

The Theta app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple Store to view images as well as do some remote shooting. The live view while shooting offers 10fps on the display of your phone.

Users also have the option to use Theta+ for image editing images or even taking square or rectangular crops, for sharing it directly on social media sites. The Theta S also allows you to shoot full HD videos by just switching the camera modes from the right hand side. Matte rubber finish on the Theta S does give it a good hold.
