Sadly, something change last month. Now I can’t download any files or view online content. Just a blank screen, I tried to reload the program. But, it just doesn’t want to load. I have subscription and have strong wifi. I gave it a 3 because I enjoyed the experience ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-05-02, version 2.7.4* The videos here are short. I’ve been watching long form walking tour videos on YouTube for almost 2 decades, so these trailer length clips didn’t do much for me in regards to transformative immersion. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-01-31, version 2.7.4* The videos here are incredibly short. I’ve been watching long form walking tour videos on YouTube for almost 2 decades, so these trailer length clips didn’t do much for me in regards to transformative immersion. ### 5/5 — Superbe *2025-12-30, version 2.7.4* Super !! ### 5/5 — Travel *2025-12-25, version 2.7.4* A peaceful way to travel the world. I don’t have to worry about luggage or catching a flight or rolling my ankle. I wish I could share this experience with a friend. It is kind of lonely. ### 3/5 — Content Good but Jerky Controls *2025-12-17, version 2.7.0* would almost be zen if it weren't for the extremely jerky controls. very annoying! ### 5/5 — Amazing video quality *2025-12-15, version 2.7.0* Sound effect effect, and audio quality need to be improved ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2025-12-14, version 2.7.0* Je suis ravi d’avoir découvert cette application qui me permet clairement d’explorer des endroits dans le monde et voir où je veux aller. Merci beaucoup. ### 3/5 — Too short *2025-12-10, version 2.7.0* Love the visuals, but the images are just too short ### 5/5 — Außerordentlich gut! *2025-12-09, version 2.7.0* Die App mit dem besten Content auf der Apple Vision Pro, also außer der Apple-Inhalte natürlich. Einfach nur beeindruckend, danke! ### 5/5 — Can’t travel? *2025-12-09, version 2.7.0* Then dive into immersive 👌😎 ### 5/5 — Amazing and immersive! *2025-12-08, version 2.7.0* What an incredible and immersive experience EXPLORE POV is! I cannot wait what other world experiences I will be able to dive into. ### 5/5 — Living vicariously *2025-12-06, version 2.5.3* I love this application! This allows me to visit places that were previously inaccessible to me. Further, my disabled partner, can travel places through your eyes and feet, and youth. Thank you for this application. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — What a great job! *2025-12-01, version 2.7.0* I appreciate your efforts in bringing these beautiful views to us. What a wonderful idea! I never imagined I would enjoy traveling the world from the comfort of my home. I wish you continued success and the discovery of more breathtaking natural, historical, and cultural sites on our beautiful planet, full of wonders. ### 5/5 — This app needs more than 5 stars! *2025-11-30, version 2.7.0* This is my 3rd edit to this review over the past year or so. I started with a 5 star review, but I also made some suggestions to make the app even better. Those suggestions were implemented and I later made a couple more suggestions… those were also implemented (I think all my suggestions were already on the drawing board). I’m sure the app will continue to improve, but the content has just gotten better and better as well! I’m blown away! People rightfully complain about lack of AVP immersive content, but if they don’t subscribe to Explore POV I have little sympathy! The POV subscription price is trivial compared to the AVP price and adds significant value to AVP ownership. ### 5/5 — The best app for Vision Pro! *2025-11-26, version 2.7.0* Thanks For Your Amazing Work ### 5/5 — Einfach Klasse *2025-11-24, version 2.7.0* Atemberaubende Szenen an den schönsten Orten der Welt in 3D und 8K als Stream oder als Download. Okay, es ist ein Abo und nicht billig aber es ist beeindruckend. ### 5/5 — Great content *2025-11-22, version 2.7.0* Overall, this is a great app… Really enjoy the content and find myself sometimes amazed at what I’m seeing and experiencing. Only suggest that I have at this time is being able to sort or filter by specific types of videos, such as Apple immersive video versus spatial video… Or which cameras are being used to record. ### 5/5 — Simply stunning! *2025-11-22, version 2.7.0* 47.56 GB’s (and counting) of pure unadulterated joy in unparalleled fidelity. Congratulations to the developers for being nominated as grand Poobah. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Download not working *2026-05-04, version 2.7.4* :-( ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2025-08-13, version 2.5.1* Good app but too expensive and content isn’t refreshed enough. Also content is locked after subscription is expired - I went to watch stuff I finally downloaded and it was not playable. ### 1/5 — App is not opening *2025-07-01, version 2.4.1* I’m trying to open the app but it’s not opening ### 1/5 — Requires account even though i’m a paying subscriber *2025-02-22, version 2.3* App used to be great, but now it switched to requiring an account, even if one’s a paying subscriber? I use Apple services precisely because I don’t want to sign up for accounts. This is like installing a Steam game, and having to sign up for another account to run your game. I don’t care if it’s free to create an account. People buy Apple devices for privacy, we don’t want to deal with this extra account nonsense no matter how “but it has a good idea behind it!” Cancelling my subscription cause this just rubbed me the wrong way ### 1/5 — Was nice, now requires account. *2025-01-07, version 2.2.3* This was a great app to see what was being done in the in the immersive world but it now requires an account just to look at free stuff. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Not free at all🤦🏽‍♂️ *2025-01-01, version 2.2.2* Always a catch to get you to pay money ### 1/5 — Impossible to download9 videos!! *2024-10-06, version 2.0.1* I have 1 Gb line at home and every time I try to download a video, it times out!!! ### 1/5 — The application doesn’t work *2024-10-03, version 2.0.0* After I start video, I hear the sound but don’t see anything. I tried the reload app, but it doesn’t help. ### 1/5 — not working even finished download huge size *2024-08-13, version 1.4.2* need to improve ### 1/5 — Simply broken *2024-04-03* Haven’t been able to successfully download a single environment. It just stops somewhere between 1/4 and 3/4 of the way, every time. And this is on a very fast internet connection. **Developer response:** Hey, I'm so sorry to hear that. I have just updated the app to fix many of the bugs from the very first version you tried. Please check it out, I should fix these issues. Happy exploring! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ä eine gute App sehr spannend *2026-07-07, version 2.7.4* Man hat das Gefühl, man ist wirklich dort sehr gut gefilmt. Es ist eine Freude die Videos anzuschauen. ### 5/5 — Exceeded my expectations! *2026-06-11, version 2.7.4* The videos are amazing. My only wish is that there could be more videos per location. ### 5/5 — Peace in the Storm *2026-06-05, version 2.7.4* Exploration is always something that has brought me peace, excitement and part of what makes life worth living - for me, I’ve been stuck in a life storm that has me pretty stuck where I am for the moment, but this app helps me experience that joy and gives me hope for the adventures and experiences yet to come. Please keep making your amazing content! This is hands down one of the best things about the AVP. Outside of subscribing, please let me / us / the community know if there is anything we can do help grow your content database, reach or business! ### 5/5 — Wow 🤩 *2026-05-25, version 2.7.4* When will be the next videos? All the actual clips are so Amazing! Thanks ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-05-17, version 2.7.4* Probably the best quality I have seen in this type of app. Just needs more content ### 5/5 — Pure quality *2026-05-02, version 2.7.4* I love this app. Beautiful places, beautifully filmed. I look forward to the next immersive experience this app brings. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-04-27, version 2.7.4* More content needed ### 5/5 — Nice app, please few improvements *2026-03-15, version 2.7.4* How to identify/select 16k content? Will HDR be added? Would be also nice to provide date soft shooting ### 5/5 — A Game-Changer for Mental Health and Self-Care. *2026-03-12, version 2.7.4* People often say the Apple Vision Pro needs a “blow away” or “groundbreaking” feature, but I’m here to tell you—it’s already here. The Apple Vision Pro isn’t just a tech innovation; it’s a breakthrough and a game-changing mental health device. Once you incorporate it into your mental health toolkit, you’ll find a wealth of apps unintentionally designed to clear your mind and provide a much-needed escape from life’s stresses. For me, the end of 2023 and all of 2024 have been nothing short of trauma-induced chaos. In that time, Explore POV has become an essential and profoundly relaxing meditation app, one of the most effective tools I’ve discovered in my entire life. It’s hard to put into words how much this app has helped me. I’m honestly unsure if I would have made it through this year without it and other similar apps. Adding Explore POV to my daily self-care routine has been one of the most important steps in my mental health journey since I started it in my late 30s. Every session leaves me feeling lighter, and my once-overwhelming thoughts seem far less dark and doomed. It’s a calming, immersive experience that I recommend wholeheartedly. To the development team behind Explore POV: I hope you realize the impact of your work. You’ve created something that truly matters—a tool that’s helped at least one person face each day with a little more peace and resilience. Thank you. ### 5/5 — A World of Wonders at Your Fingertips with Explore POV *2026-01-27, version 2.7.4* Explore POV on the Apple Vision Pro is an absolute game-changer! I’m completely in love with how it transports me to stunning corners of the world—whether it’s a serene beach or a bustling city street. The immersion is unreal, and I feel like I’m truly there. If you love travel or discovering new places from your living room, this app is a must-try! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
