Used to work well on iPhone X, now it only crashes or blacks out.
This app was always “heavy”, “buggy” even when my iPhone X was very new. But it was ingenious, and although it crashed, and got my phone very hot, it did work. It was a high definition version of a Nintendo 3DS screen, once the cover was on (unfortunately the cover has holes for the camera so it can be used as a case as well when flipped over. But all in all it WAS still impressive.
You could use it - through the app, with YouTube 3D videos or their own sample images. But most importantly, you could see your OWN portrait mode images in stereoscopic, glassless, perfect 3D. With all the depth and trickery of the eye in all its glory. It also has built in a way to track your eyes, also similar to the last generation “New Nintendo 3DS”, which makes is so it adjusts to a bit of movement without you losing the effect, (as in the first models of the 3DS.
Apart from the portrait photos, you could also look at videos or photos in the Sode by Side format, and the app USED to convert the two images into one stereoscopic 3D one.
I used different apps to take photos that way too, that I could see on my 3D TV as well. And once again it worked beautifully. IN THE PAST.
(If I mention the 3DS a lot it’s only because it’s a mainstream product that essentially uses the same technology. On the 3DS the upper screen has essentially the same texture as the one on the cases by this company.)
Skip to right now. I didn’t use the case in a couple years and just found it again, and redownloaded the app. I’ve tried and tried, but NONE of the photos I used to be able to see work anymore. All the 3D photos I took and placed in a folder for the app, and all the portrait photos, once selected either cause the app to go completely BLACK, or crash. From the black you can go back to the main menu, but the following picture usually crashes it anyway. I tried and tried. I’ve closed all other apps, restarted the phone, forced rebooted. I have an 256 GB iPhone X, with plenty of space still free, and i used the case made by this company for the iPhone X.
The only thing that works: the YouTube 3D videos. It’s “cute”, but not why I bought the case. I got it to look at my own photos, and it *used to work”. It was never bug-free, I remember the screen also going black and some crashing, and the phone would warm up and eat up the battery fast. But when that happened you’d open the app again and try again and it worked. If the image looked black you could close and reopen or swipe for a new photo, and it’d work.
Now none of those “tricks” and “quick fixes” work. I wasn’t able to see anything besides the YouTube 3D page. Everything else: black screen or app crash.
Too bad, I’m part of a minority who really liked and enjoyed stereoscopic 3D tech. I find it unfortunate that 3D TVs are gone. And this turned my iPhone into a 3D capable device to take and display 3D content. Not anymore.
If this gets fixed, I’m sure to change my rating and review.
