This app is aggressively restrictive with your VR photos. – VR180 Review

Replacing the app-specific, proprietary export option with an iOS-standard share sheet would likely completely solve this issue entirely. I have a Lenovo Mirage camera and an Oculus Go. Oculus and Google are competitors in VR entertainment. Oculus supports google’s VR180 format, but this app DOES NOT want you to be able to move your VR files to any service that allows you to view your content with non-google-certified headsets. With this app, you can manage your VR180 camera, easily view your content using only one of Google’s “certified” headsets, or backup your images to this app, Google Photos or your phone’s iPhotos app. If you to use iPhotos as a middleman app in order to export your photos to other services (such as Dropbox, which can be accessed from an oculus go), this VR180 app will rewrite the image.vr.jpeg files as a regular image.jpeg files to prevent other headsets from recognizing or displaying your images properly in VR. Simply put, VR180 breaks your VR images. Without a google-approved headset, the only reason to have this app is to update your VR camera and maybe keep backups of your files. Otherwise, just ignore it and use a home computer for proper file management.
