Reviews
Ignore the whiners.
Yowzoe
Some of the criticisms in these reviews are unbelievably wrong and come from real whiners. Use a good set of headphones in the darkroom. Be safe. Many of the stories are extraordinary. I love it. One request: a list for downloaded videos.
double vision with my 6 plus

Description says it works with the iPhone 6 Plus but I could not get the two images to line up after quite a bit of fiddling ?. Please fix!!
All is dark

The NYTVR app worked very well the first time I used it to fly by Pluto. Since then every time I open the app it gives me a blank, dark screen. Using 6s.
Super cool.

Very interesting way to tell stories. (Works fine on my 6 Plus despite the other complaints)
iPhone 6 Plus Double Vision
Bigpru
I'm using the app with the DoDo case and my iPhone 6 Plus and I get double vision. This is the only VR app that I have used that doesn't work on the 6 plus. I keep re-down long the app to see if it has been fixed.... NOPE!
Can't seem to merge the two images.

Maybe it's just that it doesn't work with the iPhone 6+ or maybe it's my eyes (my left eye is a "lazy" eye), but I just can't seem to merge the two images into one 3D image. Bummer. Great idea though and maybe a future version will allow some adjustments (either for my iPhone or for my eyes).
Great VR! Works great on my iPhone 6

Just got Google Cardboard and it's works great! Love those stories in VR!
Can't open or delete this app
Bj765
I used this app once and it did not work very well because I was seeing two images using the iPhone 6. But now the app is grayed out and looks like it is downloading or something and it won't open and I cannot delete it from my phone either. Pretty worthless.
