### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-08-17*

Mobile VR Station tries to do everything, and because of that, it doesn’t do anything well. The volume of videos doesn’t even work. It’s as if someone tried to build a race car, with lots of cool options, but the steering wheel wont turn. They should have kept it simple like the first release.

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2025-08-13*

Getting the playback exception error on literally everything that I try to watch. This app used to be great but it’s completely unusable now.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2025-08-13*

Too many playback errors & no explanation on how to troubleshoot. Video worked & then didn’t mins later. Wasted my money.

### 3/5 — 何故？

*2025-06-17, version 2025.03.08*

Fields of viewのコマンドが見つかりません。代替になる機能も無いと思います。

### 4/5 — DLNAサーバーのブラウズ障害、修正されました

### 2025.12.14 — 2025-12-14

Update Notice – 3D Edge Fade Adjustment

Due to a clarification in the 3D Edge Fade specification, we have updated the transparency calculation logic. The fade mask now derives transparency from the red (R) color channel only, rather than a combined RGB value. This change ensures correct interpretation of the specification and consistent rendering behavior across supported platforms.

1. Support for 3D Edge Fade content, 3D video with transparency
2. Fixes for the camera view.
3. New Backgrounds: 3D Day, 3D Night
4. Other general fixes/changes

### 2025.11.15 — 2025-11-16

1. Added an adjustable color-transparency feature (chroma-style) for videos.
2. Included a sample image demonstrating the new color-transparency effect.
3. The chosen color-transparency setting is now saved per media item.

### 2025.10.05 — 2025-10-30

1. Updated icons, a new style
2. Added a new option to use the rear-camera as a background.  This feature is disabled by default and must be enabled in your profile.  A warning will be displayed when this feature is turned on.  Using this feature may cause motion sickness and should only be used while stationary in a safe location.
