Good start with lots of promise but you're killing me with the scaling feature

Does a lot of things right, but the biggest problem I have with Vision apps is that everything is way, way, WAY too big. We have a giant 360 world to play with and literally everything looks like a billboard. I was so excited to have scaling, but when Lens scales, it inexplicably letterboxes to the edge rather than stretching the page and having it grow/shrink responsively... it makes the scaling totally useless. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Y'all are ALMOST there with this!

Response from developer

Hmmm, I'll look into this. If i can implement this, new update coming soon.

flawless experience since 2024

This app has been a godsend. So frustrating that major App developers have not flipped the switch to allow their apps to work on Vision Pro this app keeps me using the Vision Pro and should be highlighted in the app review section so that others can benefit from its tools and resources

Great job

As a fellow developer, I am very impressed with what you’ve cooked up here. This is a really good browser and helps get around silly things like Safari not working well with Spotify.

A must have

Great browser, compliments my Vision Pro👍🏾

Makes it possible

Great app. Easy to use and convenient having the multi platform option when scanning streams

What YouTube TV should have been

I’ve been waiting over 2 years for YouTube TV to release a Vision Pro native app (the Safari experience completely sucks, because the target areas for all action buttons are too small). Every other YouTube extension or wrapper I’ve tried only works with YouTube (not YouTube TV)

Lens is the first one that solves the YouTube TV UX annoyances (native play/pause, forward / rewind seek, screen size adjustments, really large full screen without the limitation of the Safari immersive max screen size, etc.). If you have YouTube TV, get this!

This is good, but needs some improvements

I like this a lot it works pretty well. But we need to be able to organize and arrange the homepage of bookmarked items. We don’t have any ability to drag them around or organize them. I haven’t figured out how they are moving around. I would like to be able to pin the ones that I use the most to the top of the screen. I hope you can make these changes so that the bookmarks are similar to how they appear in Safari Firefox and other browsers thanks.

Great app!

One of the first apps I got on my Vision Pro. The best app for watching YouTube would highly recommend!

No YouTube TV?

When I bought this app, it showed YouTube TV as an app option. When I launched it, the only choice they gave me was to delete it. I couldn’t back up. I couldn’t do anything. I had delete and then try to add it and I never could. It was the main reason I bought this app it was like a bait and switch trick. I was duped.

Unfortunately critical app for visionOS, perfectly executed

If visionOS supported the same kind of web app saving behavior of Apple’s other platforms, I would hope this app would be unnecessary, but as it is, this is the best way to save and quickly access bookmarked streaming services and jump straight to where you want to go. It’s also much better at staying logged in than Safari, and if Apple never fixes that but does add home screen saving for websites, I’d keep using this anwyay.

Awesome!

It does what it says it does.

Developer abandoned. No updates in a year. wow.

It’s struggles to play multiple videos at the same time. Once you hit play on one video the other one stops. Or, both videos will start to stutter and you have to stop one of the other especially YouTube video. If you can fix the playback with multiple videos, I would be extremely impressed and bump this up to five stars

Reliable

Lenz works well.

Good app. Need some work though.

Updating and I’ve checked and this app has not been updating in over a years so it’s obviously abandoned. Regret getting the lifetime subscription sings this obviously not maintained.

Web browser is outdated

There’s no updates almost a year now and I can’t use my streaming subscriptions anymore because browser is not supported. I loved the app but it’s useless for me now on.

Decent

I like the app overall, but can’t seem to save bookmarks so that they show up on the control panel when I reopen

Serves a vital role in in the visionOS environment.

Worth it.

30 dollars for a browser

Title speaks for itself

Works and feels great

This app very seamless and feels like something from Apple.

Frustrating

YouTube TV is always out of sync between audio and video. This is the only app that gives me that problem.
