What is it?

Vyclone is an app at that allows

​

up to four phones to record footage of the same event, then automatically stitches snippets of each separate recording together to form a multi-angled video of the same event.

How is it of use to journalists?

This app was nominated by journalism student Sam Kirwan ( @Journoable on Twitter) who says Vyclone is a great way of getting footage of a protest or an event (Olympics footage, anyone?) from several angles.
