Interesting app that's needs some fixing
LSSR22

Tried the app based on it being featured in Smithsonian magazine. Lots of griping from others about the videos not loading. Mine loaded fine but needed a WiFi connection. When I went to the far end of the house to show it to my wife the weaker WiFi signal slowed down the video downloads. As someone else mentioned, when the video is merely a non-interactive clip you can tap on the video and it will run like any other clip. Things get twitchy when the video is interactive with the page of (in this case) the magazine. I had had to keep the camera pointed at the page, but that was part of the point with the front cover of the magazine. The various images popped out from the page as though emerging from the magazine. At one point the magazine "turned into" an ancient scroll that I could turn and twist to see the sides, etc. as the video images were synced with my movements of the magazine. That obviously won't work if you're not pointing the camera at the magazine. So yes, it's twitchy but the concept is really cool and not bad for a first go. And for crying out loud, it's FREE.


Doesn't work.

I've tried multiple times. I "frame the page". It simply does not work. Keeps scanning and scanning and never identifies it. A great idea, if only it worked...

This is absolutely WILD, it worked for me. It took me a little while to figure out you had to hold up the image on the other side to activate the video, but once I got that lined up, it just started talking and the coupon offers worked. This is WILD!!!!!! dmr


Frustrating & not worth the time

Got this app to view a video ad for weight watchers. Followed directions but the app is very frustrating to use in that no matter if you tap the screen after the video starts if you move slightly it will delete and you have to start all over again.

I got this app to view the smithsonian magazine where we can see the people talk. It worked at first but then after a few times, it stopped working. It started crashing, and if you move it (iPod, iPhone) it will stop the video and you'll have to start all over :( I would like to see it improve next time.


Amazing technology-after a little practice
ReluctantTechno

First experience today--a Weight Watchers mailing to join their 2013 program. Unsure what to expect caused a longer learning curve but when it began to work, WOW. (Drone technology came to mind) But the ad lady "came to life" as if she stepped onto the cell screen. Amazingly great.


Glitchy

I also got this ap to view the Weight Watchers ad. The smallest movement causes the video to stop, rescan, and start over. C'mon! You really expect us to hold our phone perfectly still?! Needs improvement !!


Wow!

I used this with the Weight Watchers flyer I got in the mail the other day, it blew me away! Awesome concept!! I'm not sure what everyone else is having problems with.. user error?
