App display glitched beyond use on iPhone XR, &/or latest iOS
TL:DR version: It doesn’t work anymore. Frankly I’m surprised it even opens– after that, totally unusable on anything close to new.
Several years without updates have apparently caused the app’s interface display coding to fall too far behind iOS &/or devices; it is rendered useless by incompatibility.
At first I thought the frantic maelstrom onscreen was intentional– demonstrating the descent into blindness. I’d never heard of it being experienced as 100s of dots wildly spinning/swirling/streaking around randomly; the “back to menu” button was doing the same; and there was no way to interact bc touching screen anywhere took me back to the table of contents, so I eventually figured out that it just doesn’t work display-wise. The audio is fine, and until you enter a chapter screen is stable. After that, no way to do anything except back and forth with TOC. Can’t even return to actual main menu. Tried the cardboard VR view and it does the same thing: completely chaotic swirling dots and back to TOC button swirling & flicking around also. It never resolves into any sort of discernible image like the preview pics, and when it instructs you to do something like tap a part of the screen or look at an object, you can’t do either.
It’s really too bad; this seems fascinating and I’d love tp experience it as it’s supposed to be, but years without updates while iOS & devices changed significantly have apparently rendered the app completely unusable. Such a shame.

Update Certificate Plz!
Please update this app to work with iOS 14+
Beautiful
I don’t own a vr headset, and I haven’t made a cardboard one, but in a dark room you don’t need one, and I had my brightness low kind of felt like I was blind, but that just added to the experience. The fact that it uses a real persons life and recordings is really interesting. It’s short but sweet.
