As soon as I opened the app and clicked “ready,” it has an ongoing flash that will not stop and you cannot click out of it. Worthless app & book. ### 1/5 — I HATE IT!!!!!!! *2019-12-22* 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Blank screen *2019-03-19* This app is not working at all. You can see the “gallery” of one 360-degree photo, but nothing else. “Scanner” gets you a black screen. I’ve tried this on two different iPhones and it does not work. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2019-03-16* Can’t change between worlds. Have entered one world and can’t switch out. Help! ### 4/5 — Great!! *2018-10-03* This app works perfectly with the book, there are so many VR worlds to explore!! I love how you can hover over an object to get more information on it. I think DK should make another app that you don’t need the book for. ### 3/5 — It's ok *2018-03-27* It's cool if you can actually press the screen. It has trouble sensing my finger, or the thing on my Utopia 360 V2. When I do get it to work, it's nice! So idk if it's just me and my screen doesn't sense me, or the app. I usually can't get past the "gallery" button though. ### 5/5 — Wahnsinns Erfahrung *2017-11-23* Die Welten nicht nur ein visueller Augenschmaus, sondern durch viele spannende Infos ergänzt. Sehr empfehlenswert! ## Frequently asked questions about DK Virtual Reality ### Does DK Virtual Reality work without the book?
