### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2025-06-01*

I recently downloaded life vr but I would try to watch something but It said I had no internet so I checked the router and it was fine but then I saw it hasn’t been updated for years and we now have new technology I could see how the app used to be good but it just needs an update if the developer is reading this please update it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-03-29*

Hurts your eyes if you watch it on your phone, the other VR way doesn’t work either. Blurry!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-12-05*

Although the stream capabilities work, the camera does not, even on an iPhone XR

### 2/5 — Not good on iPhone 7

*2019-10-24*

It keeps cutting out and did little to experience Mt Everest

### 5/5 — Cool AR

*2018-11-06*

Super nice AR stuff to check out

### 1/5 — Horrid.

*2018-07-25, version 2.0.5*

Doesn’t work. No matter what we only got audio on iPhone 8plus. Deleting.

### 2/5 — Not great on iPhone 6S

*2018-07-18*

Tried this with the Entertainment Weekly self esteem cover, but could not watch the video because it kept cutting out unless it was aimed PERFECTLY at the cover. Perhaps AR it's not the best way to present a video?

I lack the surgeon-steady hands required for this to work properly, so I did not get to watch the Steven Universe self esteem video; which did little to improve my self esteem.

### 1/5 — All that bother to watch a bad cartoon commercial?

*2018-07-15, version 2.0.5*

Blah. This shall go the way of QR codes very soon.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2018-06-27*

Are used to really like this app with this update is changed. Are used to use the cardboard headset with it but it doesn’t require that anymore and doesn’t work. The app is mercy had add now for different products. I’m deleting this app. If you notice the better reviews are-year-old.

### 1/5 — Andrew

*2018-06-14*

All of my vr experiences I downloaded are now gone. I am thinking about deleting the app because it is now just a waste of my storage. Please try to fix this I used to love this app and now I probably couldn’t care less.
