What's New in Broken Place AR

1.2

May 9, 2021

This release adds a ton of bug fixes and some fun new animations to your space. The release also adds a new Song patch called "d8ta"; have fun! And remember to have your phone off silent! Broken Place AR respects the silence settings. This could change if feedback is common. :) Please have fun and be safe out in the augmented world!

Wow this is so cool

I can’t believe it’s several years old. Also can’t believe it’s several years old and no one else appears to really have entered this space. We need more AR on iOS! Anyway, this app rocks

Instructions?

Installed on iPad...got as far as seeing the rectangles and getting the large bars on screen making sounds, but see nothing like your sample images. For us slow folks, a little direction would help. Would love to revise rating if I had more to work with.

Response from developer

Would love to help you out here and earn those stars! I hope you understand that prior to making this app free there were hardly any downloads and no reported issues so it’s been hard for me to anticipate the different configurations. When you have the rectangle on the ground drawn, tap the square and look around. Sometimes, depending on your location, the interface can appear behind you. I know that can be a bit confusing with no visual feedback. Maybe I can put out a future update that points you with arrows to the interface.

What Augmented Reality was meant for!

WOW!

This app is fantastic. I was wondering how hard it would be to interact with an entire workstation, but the design basically gives you a fixed pointer to interact with each element, making the process easy. Most apps are prevented from being too complex because there’s only so much you can view, but by using augmented reality, you get the benefit of an entire workstation that you can navigate intuitively. The music creation station itself is familiar and easy to use, and it’s relaxing to have the ability to create music wherever you are. So awesome!!
