### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-20, version 7.0.2*

Good good good

### 3/5 — Great app

*2026-05-27, version 7.0.2*

My only issue is certain vr videos has the brightness too high and I can’t fix this (was fine before the update). Hopefully this could be fixed.

### 4/5 — Updated: Issue fixed

*2026-04-04, version 6.0.1*

Update: The developer got back to me and helped me fix the issue! Thanks! Just needed to adjust the screen zoom ratio and it works like it did before. If anyone else has the problem I did below just go to settings on the left and adjust them to your screen. Only issue I have now is playback failures upon initially starting a video but I just exit and keep clicking into it until it starts normally. Do wish it would start the first time though! Feels like trying to start up a lawnmower haha

So the VR headset I use works with phones up to 6.5’ which my phone is 6.1’, however it doesn’t account for phone screens that are the entire length of the phone which mine is. It expects there to be bars at the top and bottom of the phone so that if the phone is 6.5’ the screen would be 5’, but with no physical home button anymore iphone did away with that and made the screen the whole phone length. Now the media player in the web browser doesn’t play videos in fullscreen, it still has those bars, because the video wasn’t made with those dimensions in mind. But in this app because it’s converting the video it just defaults to my entire screen which is now why it is unusable. 

Please add an option to add those bars so that the screen on full screen phones is essentially shorter so that it can fit VR headsets and not cut off part of the video with the camera (another blunder of fullscreen I hate). This is the only app that allows conversion directly from web browsers, I’d like to use it again but right now it’s impossible to visualize a complete picture without overlap on the headset due to this issue. If you added different screen adjustments for different phone sizes (so say a fullscreen 6.1’ phone would shorten the screen by 1.5’ or something and a fullscreen phone that’s 6.5’ would shorten the screen by 1.7’, etc.) to fix this problem that would be really great. I will change my rating when this is fixed

### 4/5 — Superb app

*2026-03-30, version 6.0.1*

The application works Well but needs more and personalized Skyboxes (stage, environment)

### 3/5 — Качество видео

*2026-02-09*

Почему самое большое разрешение в внутреннем браузере только на 480 ?

### 3/5 — Really good, but not great without headset

*2026-01-16, version 5.4.1*

It’s overall a great app with well rounded functionality, but viewing 3D/VR videos (recorded as left-right side by side) on the phone screen as 360 causes very noticeable and distracting deformations towards the top and the bottom of the screen. A way to work around this problem would be fantastic.

### 2/5 — play issue

*2025-12-31, version 5.4.0*

Playback of the video is severely lagging.

### 1/5 — Update Broke app

*2025-12-16, version 5.3.1*

Most recent update broke app. Unable to change headset/phone type in app. When attempted and new phone device selected, unable to exit without closing app. PIP not available on certain feeds. Quality no longer supports higher resolution. Really a step backwards 

Anyway to install previous version?

### 1/5 — Broken by update

*2025-12-02, version 5.3.0*

Worked great for a while. I even paid for the app. But it quit working with the latest update (12/2/2025).

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Watch out for commercials

*2026-08-19, version 7.0.2*

This app is nice only if commercials didn’t get in the way! I can’t watch videos since the app detects the commercials as the first video and if you hit the “x” button you can’t set it back up again. Hope I can get a refund!!!

### 1/5 — No Vr photos

*2026-06-06, version 7.0.2*

Bring Vr photos to the platform

### 1/5 — 폰hub에서 영상을 인식 못함

*2026-05-23*

광고만 자꾸 인식함 고쳐주세요 😭

### 1/5 — 别弹内购行吗？

*2026-05-12, version 7.0.2*

别弹内购行吗？别弹内购行吗？别弹内购行吗？别弹内购行吗？

### 1/5 — This new version is BROKEN!

*2026-05-04, version 7.0.1*

Something is wrong with this new version of this app. Please!!!! Restore the previous version which was working fine!!!  The menu bar now pops up erratically, and not with nods. The screen now dims randomly and shuts down the screen for no reason. Please go back to previous version until you fix this.

Update 05/04/2026:  I’ve tried using the Gaze but that’s not working right either. Seems like the menu bar Dot jumps all over the place. Doesn’t seem to make a difference if I center after a while or not.  It seems like the issue was introduced with some new feature you added. Hope this helps with your troubleshooting. I really love this app and am rooting for you. Let me know if I can help by testing something. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Disgusting features

*2026-05-01*

Bhag

**Developer response:** We are very sorry for the trouble this has caused you. We have urgently fixed this issue, please pay attention to the latest version update.

### 1/5 — Phishing alert! Application asks for iPhone passcode. Осторожно, фишинг Запрашивает пароль от iPhone

*2026-03-28, version 6.0.1*

DO NOT INSTALL. This app tries to steal your phone's passcode by showing a fake login screen right after launch. It’s suspicious, poorly made with broken translations icons, and definitely not safe. Reported.
Приложение сразу после установки требует ввести код-пароль от самого телефона на кастомном экране, который имитирует системный вход. Настоящие приложения из App Store никогда так не делают  это грубая попытка фишинга для кражи ваших данных. В интерфейсе старые иконки отпечатков и иероглифы. Не ведитесь и ничего не вводите. Удаляю.

### 1/5 — It WAS great, but since I got my new phone I can no longer use it because the screen got bigger

I will change my rating when this is fixed

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. You can try adjusting the screen zoom ratio in the player to fit your headset — this feature is on the left side of the player.

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2026-03-20, version 6.0.1*

This doesn’t work

### 1/5 — POS

*2026-01-13, version 5.4.0*

Don’t waste your money.  Freezes up and unusable. It appears people have complained about issues with nothing being done.

### 5/5 — 너무좋습니다 영구판으로 구매했습니다

*2026-07-14*

ottㄴ나 유투브도 실행이 가능했으면 좋겠습니다

### 5/5 — The best VR app I ever encountered

*2026-06-09, version 7.0.2*

Everything works so fine. But in the built in Web Browser there should be an option for multiple tabs. Other than that the app it GOAT

### 5/5 — Developer fixes issues next day!

*2026-05-06, version 7.0.2*

I really like this! there was one issue after an update and the developer fixed it the very next day!… you can’t really trust 3.7 star rating because maybe the people make the review a long time ago and now the application is fixed

### 5/5 — Great new update

*2026-04-29, version 7.0.0*

Fantastic new update, loving your work as always, however the phone now goes to sleep while watching something 😂 just thought I’d let you know.. ios26.4.2 iPhone 17 pro max.. keep up the good work fella

### 5/5 — Best of the best

*2026-03-13, version 6.0.0*

Just keeps getting better and better! No other is as good as this. When I first bought it a few years ago, it was just the best of a bad bunch! Now it’s phenomenal 🙌

### 5/5 — Tres bon

*2026-01-19, version 5.4.1*

Le meilleur que j’ai essayé jusqu’à présent 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Все отлично

*2026-01-14*

Все хорошо работает главное вникнут

### 5/5 — Noice rPlayer!

*2026-01-13, version 5.4.0*

Awesomeness. Powerful. I likes.

### 5/5 — video upload

*2025-12-09*

Hello, I'm really happy with everything, but it's really hard to tell if a new video is loading because the player loads them automatically. Sometimes I wait for 15 minutes, but nothing happens. It would be nice to see the video loading so I can see if it's progressing.

### 5/5 — 추천합니다.

*2025-11-27*

appstore에 현재 존재하는 VR 플레이어 중 제일 기능이 좋고 편합니다. 가격이 살짝 고민이 됐지만 기능 편의성은 최고라고 생각합니다.
