Wont even open now *2020-12-03* Used to work fairly good. Now it won’t open at all. Please update. Also hands free controls would be nice. ### 2/5 — Download issues *2020-04-18, version 2.3* It streams fine but when downloading it would stop at some random point of the download ### 2/5 — Lacking basic features *2019-02-19* Desperately needs some method of hands free controls - look at a spot to bring up a progress slider / play / pause, etc. rather than needing to remove phone from headset to use controls. On that same note, a hands free vr file browser for saved videos would be a great addition. ### 4/5 — URL not working *2018-11-11* Every time I go to past the url of the page it doesn’t play what url I’m I suppose to copy ### 3/5 — Gaze Controls Please *2018-02-11, version 2.3* 2/11/18: the app is ok but it could really really use gaze controls ### 4/5 — Can’t delete videos *2018-02-11, version 2.3* Good ### 3/5 — Buggy but works *2017-12-14, version 2.3* Good app but very temperamental. ### 3/5 — Works, but would love iPhone X support *2017-11-25* It does crash a little more with the iOS 11 update, but when it’s working, it’s a great way to paste any 3d video streaming url into the app and get it to play or download. I would like to see iPhone X support added to take advantage of the extra screen size, though. ### 3/5 — Works well. *2017-11-06* Current version works fine. I believe this plays at 2x zoom. Depending on the video this can look blown up and pixelated. Being able to zoom back 1x would help some videos look better. Old Review: Past version constantly opens up App Store while video is playing. I understand there would be ads, but this much makes watching anything impossible. Previously, this app worked really well. ### 2/5 — Best player but lots of crashes *2017-10-19* Best player but lots of crashes ### 2/5 — Need button/gaze control, and support for other headsets *2017-10-17* This app works fine for what it is, but is not outstanding by any means. Even browser VR players have support for multiple VR headsets and gaze or button controls for pausing and skipping ahead. Please add these features. ### 2/5 — Crashes on iOS11 *2017-09-27* • Lately app crashes incessantly. Fix the crashing and I'll restore old rating • I love this player, and the ability to stream or download videos. • I don't mind SOME ads, but maybe take it down a notch. • Please add the ability to bookmark streaming URLs, so I don't need to download longer streams I'd like to show others. You could put them in the same "my videos" list, just with a different icon. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2017-09-11, version 2.1* It's really good but they kinda added ads ### 1/5 — Worse and worse *2017-07-17* Nothing really changed after the update except for the horrible ads. Not even remotely comparable to other vr players on the AppStore. Lacking gaze control function, lacking preference settings, not worth trying. There are much more options out there that's free and better. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2017-07-14* Was compatible with my iphone and now it isn't great update ### 3/5 — Crashes *2017-07-11, version 2.1* The app and quality is good, accept it keeps crashing on me. You need to fix it fast. ### 1/5 — Ruined it thanks! *2017-07-11* They just made it worse. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Orientation *2018-10-21* The re-center didn’t work, but ads did. Purchased but still clunky when trying to center the video. When was this updated last? ### 1/5 — Paid for full version, but still get ads *2018-05-17* No point to pay for full version since it doesn’t remove the ads. ### 1/5 — What the hell *2017-11-30* So slow and rarely works ### 1/5 — Crash! *2017-11-04* It crashes like 100% all the time. Update 2.2 Still crashes. ### 1/5 — Worked when I first got it *2017-11-02, version 2.3* Wasn’t thoroughly tested before but seemed to work fine. Now its unusable quickly crashing back to home screen. There feels like a severe frame rate drop just before each crash so assume it’s running out of resources or ads are cluttering it up in the background. ### 1/5 — CRASHING!!!!! *2017-10-28* Crashes all the time on iOS 11 Can’t you guys fix this problem!!! ### 1/5 — Crash! *2017-10-11* It has a bug and after 2minutes app crashed😐😐😐 ### 1/5 — Crashes iOS 11 *2017-09-20, version 2.1* It’s an awesome app if it wouldn’t crash all the time after updating to iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Why did u drop support for the iPhone 5? *2017-08-22, version 2.0* Why?????? ### 1/5 — Riddled with ads *2017-07-23, version 2.1* Unless you pay for the premium version, this thing is riddled with ads and basically unusable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Good App!! *2020-08-21* Great VR player. I’ve never had a problem with it. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Not working *2018-01-09* I’ve tried to play my vr headset with this app, not working, won’t even let me download the video or stream ### 5/5 — I like it *2017-08-25* It's a simple VR player and easy to use. ### 5/5 — The new vr vlc *2017-07-11* This is the vlc of VR. Love it. ### 5/5 — I love it *2017-02-22, version 2.0* It's great I use it a lot and I love it ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-02-08, version 2.0* Amazing I have no other words just amazing ### 5/5 — 100/5 *2017-01-15, version 2.0* I only downloaded this for porn purposes ### 5/5 — Yep *2016-12-29, version 2.0* I think we all know why we would download this ### 5/5 — Kammy Bun *2016-12-26, version 2.0* Yep hahahaha ### 5/5 — The Hub *2016-12-15, version 2.0* #TheHub --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
