Reviews
No Streaming from URL
Chrissy826
This app would hand down be the best in it's class if it supported direct streaming of video from a URL. I would gladly pay for this app with that functionality. I've yet to find a single VR viewer app with a hands free interface that allows streaming from a web address. PLEASE consider adding this feature.
My only VR player app.

I try to view an image and it says that it is being displayed but all I see is a black screen.
Awesome app but
Garrittm007
I have had this app for years it worked better than any other app I ever tried, right up until I upgraded to an iPhone pro Max. Now nothing on it works right it kicks me off anytime I try to start it streaming with saved videos it doesn’t line up right this leaving you with a double picture. And no place to get tech support.
Best VR Player for Local Files and More!

This App is legit! As mentioned in previous comments it is a bit annoying that the free version will only play 5 minute or shorter videos, BUT It plays them in full HD and with more settings than I’ve ever seen in a free version of a VR Player. IMO It is WELL WORTH the $5.99 price to fully unlock all extras and allow for private videos and any LONGER than 5 minutes. Show the developer some love! You will NOT find a better app on App Store that can do what this one does!
VERY COMPLICATED AND NOWHERE TO FIND HELP
xcbhsth68,:563346?
Could be a good app if the developer put clear directions. I’ve had it work great somedays and others all messed up. I can’t even use the app now, or find help/ directions on what to do. Plus it only allows 2K videos and that’s not a great picture. I’m giving up on this app it’s way to frustrating when trying to use it.
This app is a money gimmick

I paid for the best package and can’t do nothing but look at photos and files!
Love it but it won’t play 2160p
mattmydude
Love that I can stream my videos from dropbox and online. The only thing I dislike is that whenever I try to play 2160p videos, a big vr menu is cover the whole video, meaning I can’t see the video. I don’t know if there’s an option to remove that menu, but it only happens with 2160p videos. It may happen with some 1140p videos. Not sure, but definitely with 2160p videos. I hope they fix this. Besides that, the app is great
