### 1/5 — Низкий функционал проигрывателя

*2026-01-13, version 2.0*

Без поддержки просмотра видео со своей медиатеки

### 4/5 — アップデートを

*2023-06-14, version 2.0*

未だ愛用してるのですが、どうしても画質が劣化してしまうのが難点。
あと、長年アップデートされてないアプリですが、今後のiOSアプデで使えなくなってしまうのではないか心配です。

### 2/5 — How’s it close to perfect?

*2023-05-30, version 2.0*

First 5 seconds I’m hit with a confusing tutorial that makes me think I’m not going to know how to use the app. Then it only lets you choose through your camera roll for my videos? Is it 2010? Where are my files? We have files on our phones. Not just stupid videos and pictures

### 5/5 — Viable cardboard browser

*2023-04-17, version 2.0*

Possibly the only functional SBS browser-enabled app remaining in the App Store. Thanks for continuing to support this format.

### 1/5 — Many bugs

*2023-03-22, version 2.0*

Once you play a video. You can’t back and loop

### 5/5 — ดีมาก

*2022-10-16, version 2.0*

ดีที่สุดใช่ง่ายมาก😆😆😆😆

### 1/5 — Almost useless web browser.

*2021-04-02, version 2.0*

The concept behind the built in web browser is that one can go to a website and thus any normal 2d non vr video can be played via the app and thus googles. 

Problem is the “web browser” is crap. You give it a URL and it starts playing whatever video first loads.  Good luck of there are several on the page to pick from , you get the advertising at the top of the page. 

The if you manage to cancel that and get back to the video selection page you loaded , it is impossible to navigate past any preroll advertising as the usual click to skip or continue buttons you would see on a normal web page in a browser are NOT rendered. Presumably because this browser just is only 10% of what a web browser should be. 
So you get to just see the preroll add on loop. 

There is no way to get past preroll advertising and into the actual video you want to watch. 

So don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — This is app is great

*2020-12-27, version 2.0*

But how do you enable easy nav touch I tried tilting my screen but it didn’t work

### 4/5 — Pls update a lot

*2020-08-27, version 2.0*

Amazing app, but not enough update.
(Also, pls add more tab please)

### 5/5 — Volvió a funcionar

*2020-08-05, version 2.0*

Excelente aplicación
