## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Video is REALLY choppy. I know it’s only 99 cents but please fix and I’ll change my rating.

*2024-08-15*

Thanks

**Developer response:** Hello,  

Thank you for your feedback and for using the application!

As of August 16th, 2024, visionOS 1.3 only natively supports spatial video using the MV-HEVC codec which is used to record Spatial Video on iPhone 15 Pro Max. These files can be played back using the visionOS Photos app.

Can you please clarify if the 2D video is choppy?

If it's only the 3D video that isn't playing back at native frame rate, it is a limitation of the hardware and software. Smaller, compressed 3D videos at a lower resolution should run more fluently. Each frame needs to be decoded using a shader which varies depending on the frame size. For example, a 3840 x 2160 pixel frame takes twice as long as a 1920x1080 pixel frame.

Unfortunately, there isn't a native solution to decoding Left / Right or Top / Down video that I am aware of, in visionOS 2.0.

At the moment, and foreseeable future, the only native 3D codec supported in visionOS is MV-HEVC. 

Cheers,

### 1/5 — BAD APP

*2024-03-02*

DOESNT WORK. DO NOT BUY.

### 1/5 — Laggy video

*2024-02-19*

This player does open the video, but at least with 8k content, it’s extremely choppy and unwatchable.

**Developer response:** Hello, 

Thank you for your feedback and for using the application!  

The latest version, 1.0.4, should drastically improve color quality and frame rate. 

If you are still experiencing issues after updating, feel free to leave a comment!

### 1/5 — Not yet there

*2024-02-16*

Does not play HEVC high res videos. Other videos run choppy. Needs more polishing.

### 1/5 — Changes Video Color - Adds unwanted Chroma RGB

*2023-06-30*

Changes Video Color - Adds unwanted Chroma RGB to existing videos. Pure Junk

### 3/5 — Plays back 180 SBS 8K files from network without a problem

*2024-02-17*

Latest update added the scrobling bar but now all of the video is super choppy. Previously, this was the only app that played back 180 SBS 3D content that wasn’t choppy.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for using the application! 

This app will continuously receive updates until it mirrors the macOS application.

The visionOS technology doesn’t map 1:1 to macOS, so it may take some time to reach parity.

### 3/5 — Plays back 180 SBS 8K files from network without a problem

*2024-02-13*

This is the best player I’ve found thus far for reliably playing back 180 SBS 8K content from a NAS. It works flawlessly on files that are over 100Mbps bitrate. 

That said, you only seem to control playback in increments of a few seconds. All this app needs is a scrobble bar.

### 3/5 — Needs a feature

*2023-11-27*

Doesn’t play iPhone 15 pro spatial videos correctly.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and for using the application!

The latest version, 1.1.4, now supports Spatial Video and Spatial Photo.

However, there seems to be an issue on iOS using the Photo Library. The compression, applied by the Photo Library import, removes the spatial data.

1.1.5 should address these issues. Spatial Video and Spatial Photo works on the macOS 1.1.4 universal binary.

If you are having any issues with either format, feel free to leave a comment!

Cheers,

### 4/5 — Repeat loop option

*2021-02-18*

It would be great if you could add a 1 video repead option. Other wise the player works as I wanted. Thanks.
