A noter cependant qu’elle n’est entièrement compatible qu’avec des lecteurs VR Cardboard. ### 1/5 — No cargó *2018-02-21, version 1.1* Se queda en loading mil años.... nunca pude jugar 🤭 ### 2/5 — Schade *2017-12-22* Ab dem zweiten Kapitel wird es unmöglich weiterzukommen, da man auf den Touchscreen tippen muss, um Wind zu erzeugen. Wenn man aber das Handy in der VR-Brille eingespannt hat, kann man das leider nicht ausführen...Sehr schade, da das erste Kapitel super schön gestaltet ist und man eigentlich unbedingt weitersehen möchte. ### 3/5 — Plus d'aplis dans ce sens *2017-03-02* Intéressant,et sans doute cela a t'il plus de sens pour les personnes diminué ayant développé des mécanismes de compensation et la réalité virtuelle ou augmenté est une piste intéressante dans beaucoup de domaines et surtout pour ses dites personnes ### 4/5 — GREAT, but need some fixing *2017-01-19* Great experience, beautiful narrative, sound design and graphics. It just need some fixing, though. The 2nd chapter requires the user to touch the screen to make the wind. There should be a way of making it happen without having to touch your phone or cardboard. Also, the first menu (language selection) and the chapter menu have the same issue (you need to look at it and press the selected option with your finger on the screen. Holding your sight at the selected option should solve it. All of it happened w/ iOS and Wonky Monkey VR glasses. ### 1/5 — Not working *2016-12-08, version 1.1* The app is not working in my Ipad air nor in my iPhone 5s ### 1/5 — Nul *2016-10-27* Marche passss ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-10-24, version 1.1* The most beautiful experience that I've had in a long time. This is the art that I want in my life. Thank you so much for making this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App display glitched beyond use on iPhone XR, &/or latest iOS *2023-03-14, version 1.1* TL:DR version: It doesn’t work anymore. Frankly I’m surprised it even opens– after that, totally unusable on anything close to new. Several years without updates have apparently caused the app’s interface display coding to fall too far behind iOS &/or devices; it is rendered useless by incompatibility. At first I thought the frantic maelstrom onscreen was intentional– demonstrating the descent into blindness. I’d never heard of it being experienced as 100s of dots wildly spinning/swirling/streaking around randomly; the “back to menu” button was doing the same; and there was no way to interact bc touching screen anywhere took me back to the table of contents, so I eventually figured out that it just doesn’t work display-wise. The audio is fine, and until you enter a chapter screen is stable. After that, no way to do anything except back and forth with TOC. Can’t even return to actual main menu. Tried the cardboard VR view and it does the same thing: completely chaotic swirling dots and back to TOC button swirling & flicking around also. It never resolves into any sort of discernible image like the preview pics, and when it instructs you to do something like tap a part of the screen or look at an object, you can’t do either. It’s really too bad; this seems fascinating and I’d love tp experience it as it’s supposed to be, but years without updates while iOS & devices changed significantly have apparently rendered the app completely unusable. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Update Certificate Plz! *2021-08-06, version 1.1* Please update this app to work with iOS 14+ ### 1/5 — Wie funktioniert die App? *2021-07-24* Gibt es irgend wo Infos wie man die App bedient? Auf meinem iPad-mini5g sehe ich nur Flimmern und höre gar nix. ### 1/5 — VNe fonctionne pas sur ipad *2021-03-20* Ne fonctionne pas ### 1/5 — Application ne fonctionne pas *2020-10-08* L’application ne fonctionne pas, les gyroscopes tournent dans tous les sens ### 1/5 — Does not load *2020-05-18, version 1.1* The app does not load when opened on iPhone 7 with the latest software update. Can you fix it? Thank you! ### 1/5 — No arranca *2018-09-15, version 1.1* En un iPhone 8 Plus no pasa de la pantalla de presentación. No se carga. No gasten su dinero. Esto es un ROBO a mano armada en toda regla. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-09-14, version 1.1* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work on headphones *2018-05-11, version 1.1* No matter what pair of headphones I used no sound ### 1/5 — No me funciona *2018-04-29, version 1.1* No pasa de la pantalla inicial de carga en mi iphone 6s ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great effort by the author. *2022-02-09* Helps us understand that how much information one can have hearing the sounds alone. Also it’s even better after having a joint or two…. Real good trips.😉😅 ### 5/5 — Problème d’affichage *2022-01-03* Malheureusement l’affichage ne fonctionne pas, j’aurai adoré pouvoir voir comme un aveugle ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2019-10-02, version 1.1* I don’t own a vr headset, and I haven’t made a cardboard one, but in a dark room you don’t need one, and I had my brightness low kind of felt like I was blind, but that just added to the experience. The fact that it uses a real persons life and recordings is really interesting. It’s short but sweet. ### 5/5 — Non carica *2019-04-18, version 1.1* Il gioco non carica si blocca alla schermata iniziale potete risolvere perché sembra bello update provato su telefono e non funziona neanche qui vi prego risolvete questo problema perche ci voglio giocare è assurdo che avete fatto un sólo update sembrava che a queste esperienze anche in vr più non vr pensavate che ci sarebbero stati pochi problemi che avete fatto pochissimi update siamo seri però comunque magari giocare a sens vr mi è bastato peccato veramente avrei potuto vedere altre cose folli come in sens vr ma comunque spero in un altro vostro progetto però se volete fare un altra esperienza vr per non lasciare il lavoro fate più cose folli e fate più update comunque Keep going ### 5/5 — Wundervoll!!! *2018-06-03* Das war ein wundervolles Erlebnis in John‘s Welt eintreten zu können. Tolle App mit viel Gefühl und Liebe gestaltet! So betrachtet man das alles durch einen etwas anderen, intensiveren Blickwinkel. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Geschichte mit toller Aufmachung. ### 5/5 — Excellent !!! *2018-05-01* C'est une expérience très enrichissante et poétique ... ### 5/5 — Amazing insight into something we can't comprehend. *2017-09-02* Based on the recordings of John Hull, Notes on Blindness is an experience everyone needs to see (no pun intended). An insight into the world of the sightless, and as close as likely possible to put yourself in their shoes. The technology is far ahead of its time, using 3D VR (or just normal viewing) with amazing use of the iPhone's sensors to place the image and spacial auditory sound just where they should be. Understated, yet revolutionary. Try it! ### 5/5 — Magnifique! *2017-08-05* Expérience de réalité virtuelle incroyable. L histoire est envoûtante, on se laisse emporter dans un nouveau poétique. Je recommande vivement cette expérience! ### 5/5 — L'application impressionnante *2016-11-23* C'est impressionnant et visuellement agréable à vivre cette application. ### 5/5 — Superbe *2016-10-31* Une expérience enrichissante culturellement, techniquement et graphiquement. Casque de bonne facture vivement conseillé pour profiter de l'expérience à fond --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
