### 1/5 — Umm no

*2022-08-13, version 1.1*

When I opened the app, it was great at first but when I deleted it and got new apps I guess the app didn’t like me so when I decided to get in again the screen was shaky and I couldn’t  press the continue button and I couldn’t even play the “vr” game, I wouldn’t recommend  this app

### 1/5 — Bugged Out

*2022-01-09, version 1.1*

If I could leave zero stars, I would. I was so excited to download this, because it seemed like a lot of fun. When it finally downloaded, the visuals were completely bugged out, jerking around all over the place, flashing on and off, to the point where I couldn’t make anything out. Total waste of storage space and time.
