But, I can’t get to a lot of the controls (dynamic island in the way) and some don’t work when tapped. I can’t get to the “x” or “gear” in SBS/cardboard mode. They are unresponsive. And, the select media is really bad as well. How about a Files browser? This app has potential solely due to picture quality. If the interface were fixed, and useful this would be a killer app. **Developer response:** Hello, please check new version, it works! ### 3/5 — Plus stable avec trop de PUB *2023-11-03* Nouvelle version, super. Plus fluide, plus stable, meilleure fonctionnement. Rien n’est gratuit donc apparition de la PUB. Le problème est que la taille de la publicité est beaucoup trop grande pour que ce soit acceptable pour moi. Le prix est trop élevé pour ma fréquence d’utilisation pour payer. Dommage mais c’est la vie. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. Dans les versions récentes de l’application, la publicité a été supprimée. Si vous avez un moment, n’hésitez pas à essayer la nouvelle version. J’espère qu’elle vous plaira davantage ! ### 3/5 — Image selection *2022-12-02* Looks like the app doesn’t allow to select any image from library. Only images with aspect ratio 2 aka 2000 X 1000 pixels in this ratio shows up. I wanted to load a spherical stereoscopic image with aspect ratio 0.5 aka 1000 X 2000 pixels and it won’t show up in app. Pls fix this. **Developer response:** Currently app supports only 360 panoramas with 2:1 ratio. I will think about implementing stereoscopic option ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPhone 15 pro max issues *2025-09-29* Can’t use any controls **Developer response:** Hi, please check new version, it works on every new device ### 1/5 — Not simple *2025-07-06* This app does nothing but show me LGBT flags! Literally cannot download any videos from my 360 camera. As soon as I opened the app the LGBT flags in 360 popped up and will not go away. No instructions on how to add videos **Developer response:** Hello, please check new version, it works! ### 1/5 — This is not good. I can’t exit. *2025-03-31* I can’t exit out of there **Developer response:** Hi, I fixed all the issues ### 1/5 — Terrible app! *2024-08-04, version 1.13* Very frustrating! Camera view is totally out of wack!! Disappointing to say the least!! ### 1/5 — Needs to play video without loading *2024-04-29* Also, the there needs to be a way to disable changing videos based on left or right touch on the screen **Developer response:** Hello, please check new version, now it works without loading. ### 1/5 — Reap off, don’t buy it *2023-12-07, version 1.10* BS ### 1/5 — beachball of death *2023-06-10* I am not ure this app works with the new apple silicon. It tkes 5 minutes to open and once it opens the beachball of death keeps coming up. ### 2/5 — Good, could be better *2026-04-22* App comes close, but needs a frame by frame scrubber while viewing panoramic videos. **Developer response:** Please check new version, I added frame-by-frame scrubber in player ### 3/5 — Works but annoying *2026-07-18* It does what it’s supposed to do but it keeps asking for full access to my photos and I’m not ok with that. I’ve never had an app bug me this much for more permissions and I’m on the fence about keeping this app just for this reason. **Developer response:** Hi, please check new version, I fixed this bug ### 3/5 — Commands Not compatible with screen of iPhone 17 *2026-03-11* Commands in the top of the screen are Not compatible with iPhone 17 not possible to click on them 🙁 Shame because 360 pictures made with DJI drone are well displayed EDIT 11/02/26 New version fix the problem with iPhone 17 and the new display is very nice 🤩 Thanks ! **Developer response:** Hi, please check new version, it works on every new device ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vr *2026-07-15* Best **Developer response:** Thank you :) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-18* I can literally look through my photos through the google cardboard viewer.

Love it. Unfortunately, I’m uninstalling it because it keeps nagging me to grant it access to my entire photo library, which I don’t want to do. I even get the notification when I’m not in the app! What the heck! **Developer response:** Hi, please check new version, I fixed this bug ### 3/5 — Direct access to drives and cloud storage *2025-11-16* Can we get to open photos directly from our shared drives on cloud as Dropbox, google drive or NAS device **Developer response:** Hi, in new version I added option to open any file, check it inside gallery --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
