### 2/5 — Good beginner app

*2020-02-13*

More scuba Rios would be a nice addition. And I agree with the other review. A true voice to enter off the second floor needs more info front loaded

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2018-10-12*

First... I tried using this on a VR one with an iPhone 8 Plus.  Double Vision and unable to correct.  Not sure if it’s set up for the larger screens but I suppose that could be on my end.  It’s obviously still in its infancy and needs work on choice selections.  The apparatus would pull up and be right in front of your view of the fire.  Some of the pictures were not very clear.  The command option to enter to the second floor was not correct without knowing that progress was made on the first floor.  That information was provided after being on the roof already which makes all the previous decisions potentially dangerous.  Should provide what could happen with the decision you make.  This has good potential but needs a fair amount of work yet.
