Leave a Review Samsung Gear 360
Worst!!! Don't buy any VR from Samsung with iphone
App crashes EVERY time. Does not connect to device. Total friction. Awful. Crashes every time you try to connect fb live stream. Designed to make you want a Samsung just to make it work.Leah_age_6

For Facebook Live Broadcasting, Firmware Upgrade is needed. Go to Home of this app -> Setting/Firmware Version -> Download Click -> After Downloading is finished, Install Click -> Wait until Firmware Upgrade is finished.Easy to use
Very easy to use. Comes with stabilization and share options. So you don’t need other editing software. If fb upload status is added, we could know when the file is uploaded and ready.saatvik kogileti
Convert vid from Gear device to iPhone X not good
Lots of features work great. But I found if you take normal video and transfer it to the iPhone it becomes choppy. Works fine when you convert it with iMac. Fix this and the app is a 5 star.
Edit: it is for 180 videos with highest resolution which is 1920x1080. I can watch it on my iPhone perfectly if viewing from Gear360. As soon as I download it (I assume conversion takes place), then it’s choppy watching it via app or just regular iPhone app.Show lessPrimarytech

Hi Primarytech, Thank you for the feedback. Can you share some info? Are you talking about the 180 video? What is the resolution of that video? We will try our best to solve this issue.Doesn’t work
I have a clean 128gig iPhone 6+ and the app always closes down whenever it tries to stitch or save anything. That and took forever and multiple outlets to get the camera to even charge. Apparently it’s a very common issue, Samsung!! Fix it. Also the medium and low light is horrible. Grainiest image I’ve seen in a camera over $25. It good strong sunlight it’s ok at best even when set to 4K. Lots would be better or acceptable if the app would workShow lesssgranlund
IOS
This camera is very nice, it takes great pictures and videos especially for the price. There is just one problem, if you have an IPhone you can not share anything to anyone for zero apps. It must all be done from your pc.miswht
Needs work
Suppose I should be grateful Samsung is even supporting iOS. That’s the only reason for those three stars.
That said, there’s a few things though that really could be done better with this app, for some reason no 360 photo taken at 15M resolution has ever been more than 7M when looking at photos while connected to the camera.
If you download the photo and disconnect the camera that resolution drops considerably to around 3-4M typically. If you’re trying to patch yourself out of a photo using the app (for instance before uploading to Streetview) then resolution drops to a frankly pointless 0.3M, and all patches are Samsung branded.
More annoyingly this camera isn’t actually supported by Streetview directly (as Samsung originally claimed at launch), so you can’t bypass the Samsung app to upload at a higher res.
It feels like a half-baked effort, but being a Samsung app, I can’t see it ever improving.Show lessdnananananananan
Nice upgrades
Video stabilisation feature is quite satisfactory. Looking forward to more improvements though.sidsian
No Bluetooth for iOS
The only way for me to connect the camera with iOS is via WiFi. However, doesn’t connect (no signal) via Bluetooth. I was able to connect with Samsung phone. Also I couldn’t download and save highest resolution video file on my iPhone. Had to only record in lower resolution to be able to download. Please help.Show lessdrpc007
Simple and that’s what makes this great!
Charged the camera, followed the connection instructions and the camera was ready to go. No muss, no fuss. Broadcast features seem to work great. Fun, compact camera and app. Thanks Sammy!FTP Juggernaut
Good app, needs a important feature
The app is alright. It would be better is it was more user friendly... Regardless, this app should contain an important feature: the same feature that the GoPro Fusion has, the Rylo and 360 fly cameras have: OVERCAPTURE (Basically who can select what you want the viewer to see in your 360 video. It crops the 360 video to a normal video). It is an amazing and important feature!! The 2017 gear 360 is certainly capable of doing this due that is able to record in 4K: Crop 4K to 1080p
I really hope they add this feature in future updates! It will make the app amazing!Show lessGaboB18
